The Ocean: Earths CO2 Sponge NOAAPMEL 2023-03-14 | In this video, Drs. Adrienne Sutton and Sophie Chu highlight the work of scientists at NOAA PMEL's Ocean Carbon Program to help society better understand the ocean's role in the global carbon cycle. In our changing climate, this role comes at a cost: ocean acidification, with its wide-reaching impacts on the health of the ocean and marine ecosystems, is the result of increased absorption of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). They also discuss the evolution of data collection—from CO2 instruments on cargo ships and research vessels to the innovative use of uncrewed surface vehicles, which have effectively filled some observational gaps in the hazardous waters of the Southern Ocean and provided insights into the part storms play in air-sea carbon exchange.To learn more about ocean carbon exchange and the NOAA PMEL Carbon Program, visit pmel.noaa.gov/co2

Diurnal cycle of sea surface temperature in frontal regions and reflections on OASIS NOAAPMEL 2022-03-09 | Title: Diurnal cycle of sea surface temperature in frontal regions and reflections on an Observing Air-Sea Interactions Strategy (OASIS)Speaker: Dr Meghan Cronin (NOAA)Abstract: There is growing recognition that coupling of the ocean and atmosphere depends upon proper representation of the ocean’s skin temperature, which differs from the bulk sea surface temperature (SST) or deeper foundation SST due to the cool skin effect and the presence of a diurnal warm layer. In this seminar, I will present monthly climatologies of bulk 1-m SST diurnal cycle computed at NOAA tropical Pacific mooring sites, and explain the large spatial and seasonal variability, as well as the daily-averaged rectified effects, in terms of daily-averaged wind stress and buoyancy forcing using a modified Fairall et al. (1996) 1-dimensional mixed layer model. Satellite and ERA5 fields are then used to evaluate the patterns of rectified diurnal warming in comparison to the cool skin effect, atmospheric and oceanic Monin-Obukhov Depth scales, and the differences between the daily-averaged skin versus foundation temperatures. As hypothesized by Chelton et al. (2001), the equatorial cold tongue’s SST front is associated with a front in the “Stability Depth Scale”. In the stabilized equatorial cold tongue, the SST diurnal cycle is large and cool skin effect is minimized; while on the the warm side of the front, both the atmospheric and oceanic boundary layers are destabilized, resulting in a reduced SST diurnal cycle amplitude and increased cool skin effect. As a consequence, the equatorial cold tongue’s SST front results in a front in the diurnal SST cycle amplitude and the cool skin effect. In the latter part of the seminar, I will also provide reflections on the new UN Ocean Decade Programme, Observing Air-Sea Interactions Strategy (OASIS), which I co-chair.

More rare events in the Arctic NOAAPMEL 2021-08-04 | More rare events in the ArcticPresentation by Dr. James E. Overland (NOAA/PMEL)Twenty years ago, the Arctic was more resilient than now as sea ice was three times thicker than today and provided a buffer against the influence of short-term climate fluctuations. The recent decade has seen an increase in Arctic extreme events in climate and ecosystems including events beyond previous records. Such new extremes include Greenland ice mass loss, sea ice as thin and more mobile, coastal erosion, springtime snow loss, permafrost thaw, wildfires, and bottom to top ecosystem reorganizations. While their numbers increase, the distribution of the type, location, and timing of extreme events are less predictable.Learn more about current Arctic research done at PMEL: pmel.noaa.gov/arctic

Seas of Knowledge: Putting the Puzzle Together NOAAPMEL 2020-09-29 | An overview of the Seas of Knowledge digitization project in which centuries-old U.S. Navy logbooks in the National Archives are transformed into data that can help us anticipate the future of our climate.archivesfoundation.org/digitalweather
Weather Patterns, 1850-2014 NOAAPMEL 2020-09-29 | This animation illustrates the effect of the increasing number of weather observations since 1850 on our perception of weather patterns over the Earth. It uses data from the NOAA 20th Century Reanalysis v.3, which is shown in short (10-day) clips every 10 years. Near-surface (2m) air temperature is shown in the color scale from blue to red, 10m wind by arrows, and precipitation in green shading. Black dots mark surface pressure observations, and the grey fog masks regions where more data is needed.http://www.archivesfoundation.org/digitalweather
