This storm that #DMIdk is forecasting for SE #Greenland will likely bring melt at lower elevations but snow higher up that may well delay the onset of the ablation season further.

An exciting online seminar today...

#QuantumComputing #NCKF #DMIdk

Interested in one of #DMIdk's open positions?

"You are invited to a Virtual Open House to get more acquainted with DMI and the National Centre for Climate Research, meet some of your potential new colleagues and to learn about some of our interesting tasks and projects that you might become a part of"

Online on Monday 8th of May 15:30 – 16:30 CET. Meeting links will be circulated. Register by email to head of unit, Rasmus Anker Pedersen

As we prepare to move from #DMIdk's university style offices to a new open plan office (with #hotdesking 😒) later this year, @TimHarford's podcast on how (not to) #design an office + associated concepts like #power + the ability to influence your own space seems very relevant.

Star guest at #DMIdk's colloquium today. Danish #Astronaut #AndreasMogensen will spend 6 months on the #ISS where he will be carrying out some experimental observations of #Earthshine on the #Moon in collaboration with my colleague @Hotblack43 to assess #Clouds surface #albedo and to scope a new #Satellite mission to assess #TOA #Radiation in #ClimateModels

Extraordinary new record high temperature in #Greenland: the capital #Nuuk recorded 15.2C as a result of a #FøhnWind event

#DMIdk's #News item on the event shows how the warm winds bring these high temperatures

@Ruth_Mottram that is an interesting result indeed!

It seems to have come a long way from the #MetNet project.

#ERA5 #ecmwf #DMIDk #Climate #weather #machinelearning #chatgpt

Amid #ChatGPT hype there has been a remarkable advance in use of #machineLearning for #Weather + #Climate- my ace #DMIdk colleague Peter Ukkonen shared this (uses #ECMWF #ERA5 as training data!)

"Our results show GraphCast is more accurate than ECMWF’s deterministic operational forecasting system, HRES, on 90.0% of the 2760 variable + lead time combinations ... GraphCast can generate a 10-day forecast (35Gb of data) in under 60 seconds on Cloud TPU v4 hardware."

January 2023 was the lowest recorded #Antarctic #SeaIce extent on record. My #dmidk colleagues have been working with #osisaf data for years and wrote a bit about it here (in Danish but DeepL works)

Den gennemsnitlige havisudbredelse for januar er på sit laveste siden 1979, hvor overvågningen af havis med satellitter blev sat i system. Dermed ser denne sommer ud til at følge trenden for havisens lave udbredelse de seneste år i Antarktis.

Apparently it's #CTDAppreciationDay so here is part of a cartoon I made featuring the #DMIdk and some curious #LegoScientists plus their old friends #LegoIceMan and #LegoBatGirl.

(The full comic is here: https://icemangoeshome.wordpress.com/)

Whole day spent planning and plotting the next year or two of #HCLIM simulations at #DMIdk - so lucky have to such generous and smart colleagues.
Can't wait to get going, but boy do we have a lot of work to do...

Hanging around on #mastodon because I don't want to go outside to get to work...

Seriously, what kind of August weather in #January is this?

#DMIdk
#Wx #Weather

Let's hope* 2023 does not continue in the manner in which it arrived: record temperatures for January set all over #European including in #Denmark (provisional, not yet QC'd by #DMIdk)

*I bet it does though...

Decided to write a little intro to the #fieldwork and #science at the #DMIdk #FieldLaboratory of #Qaanaaq.

Beats the washing up on #ChristmasDay I suppose?

Will probably edit later and I will certain add more links and expand with some new posts as I get time...

https://sternaparadisaea.net/2022/12/26/qaanaaq/

Fantastic + beautifully illustrated article in Danish Newspaper #InformationDK about the project my #DMIdk colleague Steffen M Olsen has pioneered over the last 15 years in #Qaanaaq NW #Greenland.

And now we're adding #glaciers + #IceSheets as part of #NCKF work.
In Danish but try DeepL to translate.
This should be a gift link! 🎁

And to launch the @greenlandicesheet here is today's news from the #Greenland #IceSheet...

Time for another #FridayFieldworkPhoto from #InglefieldBredning #Greenland from June 2021.

In the field, everyone lends a hand: Here we are hauling up the mooring that my #DMIdk colleague #SteffenOlsen leaves out every year to measure ocean temperature, salinity etc through the winter using #SeaIce as a #science platform.
The red buoy marks the position, the water here is 3-500m deep so pulling it up from the bottom takes some time + muscle power.

This evening the #DanskMeteorologiskSelskab (#DanishMeteorologicalSociety) is holding a symposium to recognise the contribution of our long-time editor and #DMIdk #climatologist John Cappelen.

Coincidentally, the society's winter issue arrived today too and there's not much doubt about how our #Winter is changing in Denmark

#Vejret #Wx #Weather

As ever massive thanks to #DMIdk colleagues #AndreaGierisch and #SteffenOlsen for explaining the #Ocean + #SeaIce theory behind the beauty. Also thanks to amazing hunters in #Qaanaaq for getting us to places with their dogs that #Scientists seldom reach...
