@aTarchie @WCRP_SPARC Might make a good PhD project. Will chat to you.

@alisonming @WCRP_SPARC Water water everywhere but... hardly any of it modelled holistically accounting for the full effects of plume dynamics and coupling to chemistry and radiation.

Just learnt about the new @WCRP_SPARC initiative on the stratospheric impacts of the Hunga Tonga volcanic eruption sparc-climate.org/activities/hun… #QBOWorkshop2023. Upcoming 2 day online meeting in May.

Ewa Bednarz currently telling us about the impact of stratospheric aerosol injections on the circulation @WCRP_SPARC #QBOWorkshop2023. At large injection rates of SO2, this leads to qbo locking in a certain phase. But threshold is strongly model dependent.

@WCRP_SPARC QBOi workshop @OxfordAOPP The 1986 paper by Barbara Nujokat on the quasi-biennial oscillation has over 650 citations by now.

@oceans_and_ice Where is it?

Has there been a Sudden Stratospheric Warming – and what does that mean for our weather? Find out more in our latest blog post 👇

Day 2. Now visiting @ExeterUniMaths and @WillSeviourto give a talk. I'm in the Harrison building cafe for the next hour if anyone want to come say hi.

Visiting @UniRdg_Met today to give a talk. Currently sitting in the coffee area [finishing my talk 😅]. I'm around all day so come say hi/ explain to me why there are neon lights in the stairwell...🪩

@alexwebblab Boo. Thanks! I thought so. Will clean it up.

@alisonming Looks like bacteria

First agar plate ever. Going pretty well. Anyone know if the white dot at 6 o'clock in photo 1 is contam? Bacterial? [Day 5 after inoculation]

🍲🍝 Had a great time at the Reading conference dinner last night! #sparcGA2022

@WCRP_SPARC When you wake up and you realise that the Boulder 🪨 people (and by that I mean probably @SimonLeeWx) have resorted to bad puns...🤦

I am Shaw that this talk will be a great way to close out day 3 in Boulder… 😄 #sparcGA2022

Super pretty excited for our multi-hub #sparcGA2022 conference next week. We will be live tweeting the meeting as we go along. Your host in Europe will be @alisonming. @ECMWF @NCAR_Science and FIO.

Zuzana Procházková telling us about gravity wave drag estimation. "There are no ducks in the stratosphere" #sparcGA22

Holger Vömel - massive amount of water vapour injected into the stratosphere from the Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai submarine volcanic eruption. #sparcGA2022

@ESMValTool @WCRP_SPARC @BirgieHassler

#BirgieHassler presenting how #ESMValTool can do wonders when comparing reanalysis datasets at #sparcGA2022. There is even a lucky spider on the poster! :) #WCRP_SPARC

Neil Hindley. Gravity waves. Ukulele.

If people are curious about how the multi-hub is working #sparcGA2022. We have 2 hubs awake at most times and running joint sessions with session chairs in each. Things are running relatively smoothly so far. Would like to hear how it is going for the online only crowd.

1\ What an excellent @WCRP_SPARC #sparcGA2022 meeting so far, with 3 hybrid hubs, including @ECMWF, saving tons of CO2 emissions in comparison to meeting in a single location. Here’s a brief thread on the contributions by our research group:
