The project collects troves of data from the best climate models around the world – and the newest update to it is now underway.
Weather and climate models are both governed by the same physical processes. But that’s where most of the similarities end.
In a plot reminiscent of the 2004 movie The Day After Tomorrow?, Australian scientists are warning that the Southern Ocean’s deep “overturning” circulation is slowing and headed for collapse.
Our team discovered clear changes in the distribution and strength of ocean eddies. These changes have never been detected before.
A chance discovery of some kelp that floated for 20,000km before washing up on an Antarctic beach has opened up a new chapter in our understanding of the currents that swirl around the Southern Ocean.
