This program is a voluntary initiative that will link up interested junior and senior scientists in a mentor-mentee relationship.As a mentor you can support a junior scientist by acting as a sounding board, sharing your experiences and expertise.The program will augment the normally strong mentorship already in place between researchers and supervisors and broaden the network of the researchers further. [Ajunior scientist refers to anyone who would like to have a mentor.] If you are willing to act as a mentor in the program or interested in having a mentor, please sign up by 17 April by emailing either me (agatha.deboer at geo.su.se) or Malin Kylander (malin.kylander at geo.su.se). Please provide your name, department, field of study, position and your envisioned role in the program (mentor or mentee). A person may sign up as both mentor and mentee. This could for instance apply to a postdoctoral researcher. Mentees should in addition state if they have any preference for mentors regarding seniority, department, discipline, gender, or other. The program will proceed as follows. ?We will link up mentors and mentees and inform them of their linking partner. Unless a person states an alternative preference, we will link mentees with mentors in other departments. ?The mentees will contact mentors to set up a first meeting. At that meeting, they will decide the format of their preferred mentoring relationship (see below for suggestions), including type and frequency of meeting. ?The commitment is initially for one year. The program will be annually reviewed, adjusted, and if successful, renewed. This will allow for new mentor-mentee pairs but it is of course up to the existing pairs to continue their partnership if so desired. Best regards, Agatha and Malin ** * Mentoring format suggestions:* Meeting frequency can range from three times a year to monthly. It would be useful to establish at the first meeting what the needs and expectations are of the mentee. Mentees may seek some or several of the support roles in their mentors (from https://www.dur.ac.uk/hr/mentoring/mentoringguidelines/): ?Sounding board: to test ideas and suggestions on ?Facilitator:to be able to point to potential opportunities, arrange introductions ?Advisor:to provide objective advice on a range of issues, including career opportunities ?Coach:to directly assist the mentee to improve a specific skill ?Expert:to act as a source of technical/professional knowledge ?Source of organizational material: to be able to explain University policies, culture, values ?Role model: to promote and encourage positive behaviors in others ?Source of feedback:to provide constructive feedback ?Confidant:to express fears and concerns todd ?Motivator:to encourage the achievement of goals and boost morale ?Challenger: to challenge assumptions and encourage alternative thinking The meetings can range from completely informal chats to goal-orientated discussions. In the latter, the mentee can for instance write a professional and/or personal development program. The pair can then discuss at each meeting how the mentee is progressing towards his or her goals and discuss the best way to overcome challenges. It should be stressed that the mentee-mentor relationship is strictly confidential. -- Agatha M. de Boer, Associate Professor Dept. of Geological Science and Bert Bolin Centre for Climate Research Stockholm University, 106 91 Stockholm, Tel: +46 8 16 4730 http://people.su.se/~adebo -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

High-resolution ADCP scans of currents from Greenland to Scotland in the top 400 m demonstrate that the Reykjanes Ridge is a very effective separator of flow towards the Nordic and Labrador Seas, respectively. It was found that the meridional overturning circulation has weakened by ~1.7 Sv (1 Sv = 106 m3 s-1) during the 18-year period when altimetric data were available. This trend may be an effect of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, but is certainly not due to the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). By studying the circulation in the Faroe-Shetland Channel, which is an important choke point for the global thermohaline circulation, it was concluded that the contraction of the Norwegian-Sea gyre during low NAO periods plays an important role for disturbing the flow pattern. This specifically affects the regional ocean climate by leading to an accumulation of warm and saline Atlantic waters in the channel. During high NAO phases the circulation is strongly topographically controlled. The Norwegian Atlantic Slope Current (NwASC) is the main flow branch linking the North Atlantic to the Arctic and Barents Sea. It was found that the NwASC is largely coherent over seasonal to interannual time-scales. However, on shorter time-scales the coherency of the flow shows a sustained and pronounced weakening downstream of Lofoten. Intense eddy-shedding from the slope into the Lofoten Basin damps the coherent structure of the flow. The eddies take about two months to propagate to and to merge with the semi-permanent anticyclonic vortex above the deepest part of the Lofoten Basin. These results have implications for how flow/hydrographic anomalies are transferred through the Nordic Seas towards the Arctic. Anomalous transports of warm water into the Arctic and Barents Sea via the NwASC are found to be driven by a combination of the NAO and the other two leading modes of atmospheric variability in the North Atlantic. The results reported in the thesis may be of importance for achieving a correct representation of the heat conveyed polewards in climate models. * Welcome!** *--------------------- Check all seminars: www.misu.su.se Department of Meteorology, Stockholm University -------------- next part -------------- En HTML-bilaga skiljdes ut...

It is along similar lines to CliMathNet (http://www.climathnet.org/), but we wanted to propose something that would really focus on the problems that we have in combining Palaeoclimate modelling and statistics appropriately - problems that mostly come up when dealing with different kinds of Palaeoenvironment (from the Quaternary to deep-time), both in terms of model uncertainty and proxy data uncertainty, and trying to perform data-model comparison. I have attached a two page summary of the proposed network outline at present for more information. We are currently trying to find out who might be willing to be involved as members of such a network. Joining the network comes with no obligations, but if we are successful, it may provide exciting new collaborations and the opportunity to attend conferences and workshops which will aim to tackle specific associated themes. If you are interested in becoming a member, could you send me the following information, please? name: affiliation: email: areas of expertise relevant to the network: We are open to everybody, so if you know anybody else who could be interested, please feel free to forward this email to them. Please also let me know if you have any comments or questions.

Message-ID: Dear Colleagues Attached is a note by Fay McNeil Please note that the Ocean Atmosphere Sea-Ice Snowpack project http://oasishome.net/ is now part of the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry project IGAC of Future EARTH (formally IGBP) and joins with the Atmosphere Ice Chemistry Interactions project http://www.igacproject.org/AICI to capture, the research going on regarding chemical physical interactions between atmosphere and ice. They are also recognized by SOLAS Surface Ocean Lower Atmosphere Study of IGAC. Sweden is activein SOLAS through SU researchers Caroline Leck and Douglas Nilsson. The roots of AICI was a project called Polar Air and Snow Chemistry PASC that Robert Delmas of LGGE Grenoble and I coordinated in the 1990s. ERic Wolff of BASF and Paul Shepson of Purdue carried on with AICI in the 2000-2010 period. The roots of OASIS is the Arctic Polar Sunrise Experiments that we at Environment Canada coordinated with Paul Shepson (then at York U Toronto but later at Purdue University). OASIS was an International Polar Year research project and now is continuing on with energetic leadership of Faye McNeil in North America and Roland von Glasgow in Europe What I would like to point out is that physics and chemistry are always combined in the interaction between air and snow/?ce in whatever form the snow/ice may be (polar stratospheric ice, cirrus cloud ice, surface snowpack, frost flowers on polar ice or in the glacial firn zone 0-70 m). This is because at the interface between air and real Earth system ice/snow, there is almost always a layer of high molality soluble and insoluble salts, organics and black carbon. In fact this often makes snow/ice look a lot like atmospheric aerosols. I am not aware of a coordinated effort in Scandinavia that combines atmospheric or glacial physicists interested in air snow interactions with physical chemists and atmospheric chemists. Is this an opportunity for components of SU and the Bolin Centre to join forces cross departmentally and develop expertise to research and understand fundamental aspects of this important part of the Earth system?? A presence in OASIS and AICI would be desireable for this northern country with lots of ice. Please register your thoughts, interest or activities with me.

The research is part of a funded NSF Macrosystems grant which includes a team doing field observations in North and South America. Large-scale tree mortality due to drought, warmer temperature, and associated pests and pathogens is emerging as a global phenomenon, and a potentially critical but unevaluated force for altering and amplifying land surface-atmosphere feedbacks. At the same time, global scale modeling studies are beginning to suggest that 'ecoclimate teleconnections' may link the fates of forests across regions and even continents. For example, we recently published findings that large scale afforestation - the inverse of forest die-off - may lead not only to locally significant warming, but, intriguingly, also to increased energy transfer between northern and southern hemispheres, a northward shift in the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), and significant increases in drought in the Amazon of South America. This poses the question: will continued North American tree die-off also lead to north-south shifts in the ITCZ and effects in Amazonia? And could current large-scale deforestation in South America, potentially exacerbated by future dieback of Amazon forests, affect climates in temperate North America via similar ecoclimate teleconnections? This postdoctoral position will focus on simulations using earth system models and, therefore, someone with experience using climate or ecosystem models is preferred. If you are interested in this position please send a CV and list of 3 references to aswann at uw.edu. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Abigail L. S.

Compartments describing the energy contained in the internal tides and the near-inertial waves at low vertical wavenumber are added to a compartment of the wave continuum at higher wavenumbers. Conservation equations for each compartment are derived based on integrated versions of the radiative transfer equation of weakly interacting waves. The compartments interact with each other by scattering of tidal energy to the wave continuum by triad wave-wave interactions, which is strongly enhanced equatorward of 28^o due to subharmonic parametric instability of the tide, and by scattering to the continuum of both tidal and near-inertial wave energy over rough topography and at continental margins. Global numerical simulations of the resulting model using observed stratification, forcing functions and bottom topography yield good agreement with available observations. * **Welcome!* --------------------- Check all seminars: www.misu.su.se Department of Meteorology, Stockholm University -------------- next part -------------- En HTML-bilaga skiljdes ut...

Dry regions such as Sahelian Sudan have their main moisture sources elsewhere; thus the rainfall variability is directly related to the moisture transport. This study seeks to identify the source regions that supply Sahelian Sudan with water vapor during the monsoon period July to September. For this purpose we have used the Lagrangian trajectory model FLEXPAR driven by the ERA-interim dataset during the time period 1998 to 2008. The initial result shows that most of the air masses reached the region during the monsoon period have their origins in the Arabian Peninsula, southeastern part of the Indian Ocean and the Congo River basin. Revealing the sources of moisture advances our understanding of the rainfall variability and drought causes. Moreover, it will support the ongoing effort of seasonal forecasting. * **Welcome!* --------------------- Check all seminars: www.misu.su.se Department of Meteorology, Stockholm University -------------- next part -------------- En HTML-bilaga skiljdes ut...

However, an additional impact of aerosols on a longer time scale is their indirect effect on climate through biogeochemical feedbacks, largely due to changes in the atmosphericconcentration of CO2. Anthropogenic aerosols can affect land and ocean biogeochemical cycles by physical forcing or by adding nutrients and pollutants to ecosystems, and tend to increase co2 uptake in land and oceans. The net biogeochemical effect of anthropogenic aerosols is estimated to be equivalent to a radiative forcing of --0.5 +/- 0.4 watts per square meter, which is similar to either direct radiative or aerosol-cloud indirect effects. In the future, hopefully aerosols will be cleaned up in urban areas, to improve public health, but this study suggests that reaching lower carbon targets will be even costlier than previously estimated because of these reductions in aerosols. * **Welcome!* --------------------- Check all seminars: www.misu.su.se Department of Meteorology, Stockholm University -------------- next part -------------- En HTML-bilaga skiljdes ut...
