Research brief: Ice particle numbers plummet in Southern Ocean’s clouds

October 19, 2018 1:20 pm Published by Comments Off on Research brief: Ice particle numbers plummet in Southern Ocean’s clouds

In 2016, Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes researchers and colleagues measured Southern Ocean INPs for the first time in over four decades. The numbers of these particles were extremely low compared to other oceans and 100 times lower than the previous Southern Ocean measurement program conducted in the 1970s.

Research brief: Southern Ocean’s clockwise eddies are most productive

CLEX researchers found that counter-clockwise rotating eddies in the Southern Ocean mix the ocean deeper in winter, allowing more nutrients to enter their interiors, leading to higher productivity.  This work is important because eddy productivity plays a significant role in the exchange of carbon between the ocean and the atmosphere.

The science manuscript submission process

Drawing on 5 years of experience as an editor for Geophysical Research Letters, Peter Strutton presented a talk that covered what happens between submission of a manuscript and eventual acceptance or rejection. Specific topics included the importance of cover letters, dealing with rejection, addressing reviewers’ comments and considerations around authorship.

Research opportunity aboard the RV Investigator

April 11, 2018 12:50 am Published by Comments Off on Research opportunity aboard the RV Investigator

Students and ECRs have an opportunity to take part in a voyage to a standing meander of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) south of Tasmania. They will undertake a 3-dimensional survey of the velocity and density structure of the meander, deploy a fleet of EM-APEX profiling floats and conduct time series measurements.
