It's been a rather rainy week here in Sydney, it felt a lot like the record rains of 2022. So I plotted up the data and wow! This week has been an almost perfect match with April 2022. However, in 2022 we had already received an entire year's worth of rainfall by this stage.

Excited to announce #SeaCofs The coastal ocean forecast system for SE Australia in collaboration with @ACCESS_NRI @IMOS_AUS @SydneyMarine @OceanRes_UNSW and @UNSWScience @unswbees

📣📣@OceanRes_UNSW are hiring a project officer.📣📣 Are you highly organised, what to make a difference? Passionate about the #ocean? Want to live in #Sydney. @unsw is a great employer. Position closes 21 April. external-careers.jobs.unsw.edu.au/cw/en/job/5237… Pls retweet.

Abstract deadline for #AMSA2024 is this week!! ‼️ I am convening a session on "Multiscale Ocean interactions and their role in tracer transport" and very excited to see all the interesting stuff you guys are doing! @amsa_marine

IMOS would like to congratulate Professor Moninya Roughan @moninya, leader of the IMOS NSW Moorings sub-Facility, for receiving the Clarke Medal from the Royal Society of NSW @royalsocnsw.

Breaking waves are crucial for connecting the ocean with the atmosphere. But how are they modified by wind? In our latest paper, just posted to arXiv, PhD candidate Dan Boettger examines wave breaking under wind forcing in a numerical wave tank. arxiv.org/abs/2402.14106

Congratulations to Prof Moninya Roughan, recipient of the 2023 Clarke Medal 2023 from the @royalsocnsw, the oldest learned society in the Southern Hemisphere. @moninya follows in the footsteps of Douglas Mawson in receiving this prestigious award! @UNSW @OceanRes_UNSW

@moninya @Amandine_ocean @CSIRO @IMOS_AUS Unfamiliar with NetCDF files? ➡️we provide handy CSV files containing marine heatwave/cold spell characteristics at the sites: doi.org/10.26198/wbc7-… code (available in R, Python, and MATLAB) to load and convert the data to CSV files: zenodo.org/records/106334…

@moninya @Amandine_ocean The data products are available as NetCDF files here: doi.org/10.26198/wbc7-…, and relied on decades of data collection by @CSIRO and @IMOS_AUS

Come see my poster at #OSM24

Gliders showed extreme low salinity waters extended more than 70km offshore and persisted for months. We observed a vertical double-stacking phenomena with two layers of fresher water extending deeper than 50m. Stratification was controlled by salinity rather than temperature.

It turns out it hangs around for a surprisingly long time. We used a combination of moorings, gliders and remote sensing to define an observational extremes framework for salinity. This allowed us to track the extent and longevity of freshwater plumes associated with floodwaters

What happens when a historic year of rainfall dumps a bunch of freshwater into the ocean next to a western boundary current? In @NatureComms today, @moninya, @mphemming, Tim Ingleton and I look at the impact of the 2022 East Australian floods on the ocean nature.com/articles/s4146…

Such a fantastic achievement. We are thrilled to be part of this team.

An undercover sting operation has exposed a Saudi Arabian government plan to artificially raise global oil demand just days before climate crisis talks begin in the UAE, Channel 4 News can reveal.

Humbled and honoured to have been awarded the Clarke Medal and Lectureship in Earth Sciences for 2023 by the @royalsocnsw Science is a collective effort and I recognize all the hard work of my talented team and colleagues that has contributed to our success.

@OceanRes_UNSW will be hiring soon. In search of a #ROMS ocean modeller or ocean modelling #softwareengineer. Live in #Sydney. Diverse and passionate team. #EastAustralianCurrent email your EOI.
