New paper: we show that variability in the Zonal Wave-3 mode - an atmospheric pattern made up of three pairs of cyclones and anticyclones circling the Southern Hemisphere - does influence the formation and export of dense waters around Antarctica over multiple years.

Our paper on a new ice shelf basal melt parameterisation is out! tc.copernicus.org/articles/19/... Small-scale processes in the ocean drive ice shelf basal melt, and large-scale ocean models can’t resolve these processes. Therefore, models use melt parameterisations, but these can still be improved.

It's even worse than removing the grant funding for university research (in groups like mine at UC Irvine). NOAA labs and cooperative institutes collect the climate data we use, develop the predictive weather and climate models, and train the students we hire. This demolishes U.S. climate research.
