The details of the workshop are laid out below. The location is itm/MISU (to be decided). The time is September (to be decided). If you would like to participate in the workshop, please vote in the doodle below, indicating a time that would suit you: http://doodle.com/gwvv56itgztukbr2 Target audience: Teaching staff with an affiliation to the Bolin Center for Climate Research. Please feel free to extend this invitation to anyone in the target audience. The goals of this work-shop are: 1. Demonstrate how COMSOL can be used for solving problems related to research and teaching at the Bolin Centre. 2. Identify and form a work group in order to pinpoint how COMSOL can be integrated in existing teaching curricula at the Bolin Centre. Background: Teaching undergraduate and graduate students, instructors face the challenge of exposing students to the complex mathematical framework that governs transport processes in the atmosphere and finding suitable classroom case studies that apply this framework to problems at the scientific frontier. Being introduced to this framework, a student might wonder how he or she could apply this immediately to concrete scientific questions. An example of such a question is: how would a population of pollutants, such as car exhausts, entering an office room through one or more windows disperse inside the entire office, i.e. the room itself, adjacent rooms and corridors. COMSOL Multiphysics is a software that allows students and instructors alike to investigate such problems with relative ease, since it eliminates the tedious procedure of implementing the underlying numerical schemes by hand. It is equation-based and allows users to view and fully modify the underlying equations. For students the possibility of viewing the equations results in a better understanding of the underlying problem and the physics involved. More information about COMSOL Multiphysics is available on www.comsol.com.

The energy flux from the barotropic tide to the internal-wave field at the bottom is calculated using a method based on linear-wave theory and the traditional WKB approximation valid for a slowing varying vertical stratification. The global distribution of the baroclinic plus barotropic tidal velocities near the bottom is thus obtained, which is then used to analyzed the deep-sea sediment resuspension. The calculated energy flux of the internal tide is then compared with the energy dissipation rate obtained from different data sets of microstructure measurements conducted in several regions of the world ocean. A good correlation is generally found between the model estimates and observations, giving us some confidence that the theory reasonably well predict internal tide generation. It is also found that the ratio of the averaged energy dissipation rate to the averaged energy flux is very different in different regions. A direct global calculation of the energy flux is done by projecting the internal tides onto vertical eigenmodes, so that the vertical density profile and the finite ocean depth are taken into account in a fully consistent way. The results of the modal energy flux is important for understanding the pathway from generation to dissipation of the internal tides, since the low-mode internal tides are less affected by local nonlinear processes responsible for degrading their energy to small-scale mixing. The agreement between this detailed method and the WKB-based method is found to be high, while this methods provides new information on the vertical mode distribution of internal tide generation.Finally, the bottom-trapped internal tides, which are generated when the tidal frequency is smaller than the Coriolis frequency, is examined. The energy density associated with these waves is computed using linear wave theory and vertical normal-mode decomposition. An emphasis is placed on the bottom-trapped internal tides in the Arctic Ocean, as yet, there is a lack of the comprehensive understanding of the mixing processes in this basin. Through the development of new methods to estimate internal tide generation, this thesis provides a valuable information to the problem of the better understanding of tidal mixing in the deep ocean and its role on the large-scale ocean circulation, with a possible applications to the improvement of ocean general circulation model. * **Welcome!* --------------------- Check all seminars: www.misu.su.se Department of Meteorology, Stockholm University -------------- next part -------------- En HTML-bilaga skiljdes ut...

Analytical solutions have been derived here for interface flow in coastal aquifers, which allow for simple quantification of SWI under extended conditions from previously available such solutions and are suitable for first-order regional vulnerability assessment and mapping of the implications of climate- and landscape-driven change scenarios and related comparisons across various coastal world regions. Specifically, the derived solutions can account for the hydraulically significant aquifer bed slope in quantifying the toe location of a fresh-seawater sharp interface in the present assessments of vulnerability and safe exploitation of regional coastal groundwater. Results show high nonlinearity of SWI responses to hydro-climatic and groundwater pumping changes on the landside and sea level rise on the marine side, implying thresholds, or tipping points, which, if crossed, may lead abruptly to major SWI of the aquifer. Critical limits of coastal groundwater change and exploitation have been identified and quantified in direct relation to prevailing local-regional conditions and stresses, defining a safe operating space for the human use of coastal groundwater. Generally, to control SWI, coastal aquifer management should focus on adequate fresh groundwater discharge to the sea, rather than on maintaining a certain hydraulic head at some aquifer location. First-order vulnerability assessments for regional Mediterranean aquifers of the Nile Delta Aquifer, the Israel Coastal Aquifer and the Cyprus Akrotiri Aquifer show that in particular the first is seriously threatened by advancing seawater. Safe operating spaces determined for the latter two show that the current pumping schemes are not sustainable under declining recharge. > > Welcome! > > -- > Georgia Destouni > Professor of Hydrology, Hydrogeology and Water Resources > Department of Physical Geography and Quaternary Geology > Stockholm University > SE-106 91 Stockholm > Telephone: +46 (0)8 164785 > Fax: +46 (0)8 16 4794 > e-mail: georgia.destouni at natgeo.su.se > http://giadestouni.blogspot.se/ > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This thesis focuses on different aspects of the marine carbon system and the exchange of carbon between the ocean and the atmosphere. To understand the distribution of carbon between different reservoirs such as land, ocean and atmosphere, it is important to consider the origin of a carbon flux. If the carbon originates from rock, it comprises an external source. If, however, it originates from the atmosphere, such as a flux of organic carbon, it constitutes an internal exchange. We have re-calculated riverine fluxes that are commonly expressed in terms of ions, as fluxes of total carbon and alkalinity. Furthermore, we have separated the total carbon fluxes into their external and internal parts. External sources and sinks, as well as internal exchange can sometimes be more easily understood if the carbon in the ocean is separated into acidic and basic carbon (AC and BC). These two state variables have opposite effect on the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the surface ocean. We have used these new variables to describe the effect of pyrite production during periods in the geological past when large parts of the oceans have been oxygen free, so called oceanic anoxic events. Sulfate reduction that occurs in oxygen free environments leads to an increase in alkalinity. We show that the net effect of photosynthesis, sulfate reduction and pyrite production leads to a reduction of acidic carbon and thereby a decreased surface pressure of CO2. Furthermore, we demonstrate the difference between a system with and without carbonate compensation that comprises a regulatory mechanism for the carbon system. During the anoxic events there is a shift in the composition of carbon isotopes in the system. A negative isotope shift is believed to be a result of increased supply of light carbon from volcanic activity or melting methane clathrates, while a positive shift is a result of increased burial of organic carbon. We have investigated the implications of different sources and sinks on the size of an isotope shift. This is done by comparing simple budget calculations with a more complete model. We show that carbonate compensation implies that more light carbon must be supplied to the system to obtain the same negative shift than for the simple budget calculations where sources and sinks of calcium carbonate are not considered. * **Welcome!* --------------------- Check all seminars: www.misu.su.se Department of Meteorology, Stockholm University -------------- next part -------------- En HTML-bilaga skiljdes ut...

Motivations to investigate these waves have included their impact on tropospheric convection, their contribution to local mixing and turbulence in the upper-troposphere, their vertical propagation into the middle atmosphere and the forcing of its global circulation. While many different studies have consistently highlighted jet exit regions as a favored locus for intense gravity waves, the mechanisms responsible for their emission had long remained elusive: one reason is the complexity of the environment in which the waves appear, another is that the waves constitute small deviations from the balanced dynamics of the flow generating them, i.e. they arise beyond our fundamental, balanced understanding of jets and fronts. Over the past two decades, the pressing need for improving parameterizations of non-orographic gravity waves in climate models that include a stratosphere has stimulated renewed investigations. This talk reviews the spontaneous balance adjustment (SBA) hypothesis that is developed over a series of studies over the past decade through examining gravity waves initiation from idealized simulations of baroclinic life cycles and vortex-jet dipoles with both high-resolution complex non-hydrostatic mesoscale models and/or linear forcing or ray tracing models. More specifically, it is hypothesized that within the developing baroclinic jet-front system, the large-scale background flow can continuously produce flow imbalance while the gravity waves are continuously generated from flow imbalance through spontaneous balance adjustment. A framework to describe this emission mechanism was proposed by Plougonven and Zhang through scale analysis and analytical derivation of a wave equation linearized on the balanced background flow that is forced by synoptic-scale flow imbalance. This was implemented and expanded to explain gravity waves emitted in dipoles, and has recently been used to explain at least some of the jet-exit region gravity waves found in baroclinic life cycles. Ongoing study is also extend this framework to examine the gravity waves in moist baroclinic life cycles. Also discussed will be the impacts of gravity waves on weather, as well as the potential scale selection mechanisms for these mesoscale waves. *Welcome!* --------------------- Check all seminars: www.misu.su.se Department of Meteorology, Stockholm University -------------- next part -------------- En HTML-bilaga skiljdes ut...

These summer schools have previously been held in Abisko and at Navarino Environmental Observatory. We are also hoping to join forces with WWRP PPP and WCRP PCPI to offer a more specialized summer school school focusing on seasonal to decadal prediction of climate/weather in 2016. We now welcome ideas topics / possible locations for a cross-disciplinary summer school in 2015. Ideas that are sent to me throughout the summer will be discussed at the next meeting of the Climate Research School in September - Welcome with your ideas!

The main focus of the workshop is stable water isotope measurements both from paleo-proxy archives (ice-core, speleothem, lake sediment, etc) and from modern satellite data (Odin/SMR, Envisat/MIPAS etc), as well as stable water isotope modeling. Several experts will be invited to communicate their recent research with Bolin centre scientists. The workshop aims to establish collaboration between different communities with common interests in stable water isotopes and climate. You are all welcome and please mark your calendar for this event! The detailed programme will be announced after summer. Wish you all have a nice summer!

The workshop takes place at 2-3 September 2014 at Ume? campus of SLU, Sweden, and includes a field visit to the measurement stations Svartberget and Deger? in Vindeln. The workshop addresses data users as well as stakeholders. Please find the attached information. Deadline for registration is 1 July 2014. If you would like to give an oral presentation and/or a poster presentation, please send an also abstract of max half a page by latest 1 July. Registration link: http://simpleeventsignup.com/event/43339-icos-sweden-annual-workshop-2014 We recommend you to book accommodation in advance, as it could be difficult to find a room in Ume?. We have pre-booked some rooms at Hotel Comfort Winn with booking number ?76626? for conference participants. Please note however that the accommodation costs for the participants are not paid for by the workshop organization. ICOS RI ? Integrated Carbon Observation System Research Infrastructure? is a European research infrastructure to quantify and understand the greenhouse gas balance of the European continent and of adjacent regions. ICOS is a collaboration of 17 European countries and provides long?term observations (20+ years). ICOS Sweden is the Swedish contribution to this European effort and is a cooperation of Lund University (host), University of Gothenburg, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Stockholm University, Uppsala University, and Swedish Polar Research Secretariat. The measurement sites are located at seven different sites, from north to south: Abisko?Stordalen (subarctic mire), Deger? (boreal mire), Svartberget (boreal pine and spruce forest), Norunda (boreal pine and spruce forest), ?stergarnsholm (marine station), Lanna (agricultural land), and Hyltemossa (boreal spruce forest). Welcome to participate in the workshop!
