This study evaluates the performance of high-resolution (grid sizes of 9–28 km for the atmosphere; 5–13 km for the ocean) global simulations from the EERIE project in representing the persistence of the …
EERIE project scientist Kristian Strommen (University of Oxford) presents his group’s work on the impact of eddies on the atmospheric mean state, a summary of project deliverable 7.1. You can …
The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) influences climate variability globally, encompassing various other modes of variability, and thus represents a key predictable climate signal on seasonal timescales. Yet, its response to …

Imagine a river, not on the ground, but rather flowing above us… Yes, above us in the atmosphere. These ‘rivers’ in the sky are what scientists’ term Atmospheric Rivers (ARs). …

Recent advances in numerical modeling have enabled km-scale climate simulations, improving global climate representation and local-scale projections, critical to climate adaptation strategies. In this context, the present study assesses the …
Scale analysis based on coarse graining has been proposed recently as an alternative to Fourier analysis. It is now broadly used to analyze energy spectra and energy transfers in eddy-resolving …

In our September 2025 ‘Storms, Eddies and Science Hour’ online seminar, EERIE project scientists William Llovel (CNRS) and Rohit Ghosh (AWI) present their work on trends in regional sea level …

In the sub-polar North Atlantic, the accumulation of fresh meltwaters from Greenland and the Arctic can impact the strength of the climatically important Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. In this study …
We investigate the impact of increasing horizontal model resolution on the oceanic mixing processes in the North Atlantic, their drivers, their link with the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), and …
The non-closure of the global sea level budget, detected since 2017, stimulates the need to better understand limitations of satellite altimetry and gravimetry measurements, and breakdown in situ measurement contributions …
