#PaperOfTheWeek w5 is a #preprint.

Without going into gorry details, Hutchinson et al. managed to represent ice shelves into their coarse resolution (1 deg) ocean model #NEMO, and that was enough to drastically improve the hydrographic properties on the cont. shelf. The shelf water is still not properly exported into the deep ocean, but their work is a big encouraging step.

It's under discussion currently, so do go, check it out, and comment:

Preprint is openly accessible & available at: https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-2023-73

#PaperOfTheWeek w3 is actually a #Preprint on @EuroGeosciences

Jones et al. use unsupervised #MachineLearning to separate the Weddell Gyre into oceanographic subregions, and then proves with standard #PhysicalOceanography methods that it works. I imagine this becoming routine in 5+ yrs, instead of the current headachy analyses we must do.

I esp enjoyed their introduction, a review of ML for physical oceanography, and their Fig 11 that looks like the ocean got X-rayed.

#NewYearResolution: read at least one scientific paper a week, every week. I know it does not sound much, and that's weird given how I devour fiction books, but I really struggle to read papers.

So to pressure myself into that habit, every Friday I'll toot about the #PaperOfTheWeek.

Happy to receive paper recommendations from you lot on anything from gory #PhysicalOceanography to the #Psychology of #ClimateInaction (or anything else YOU enjoyed)

A question for #physicaloceanography #oceanography - what are the main differences between brinicles and salt fingers? I am quite familiar with salt fingers but not so much about brinicles. Do they also form via double diffusion ? Both are facinating to learn about, but I would like to learn more about their similarities/differences for an upcoming lecture...
See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtQhb8sWJNw Also - if anyone knows of the paper about brinicles from the 1970s please help?

For the start of the week crowd (of #oceanography folk who want a #job at an awesome place to work!)
