Impact of eddies on atmospheric mean state
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 …
Global climate mode resonance due to rapidly intensifying El Niño-Southern Oscillation
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 …

Rivers in the sky: tracking atmospheric rivers in a modelled world
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). …

Persistent Coastal Temperature Biases in km-Scale Climate Models Due To Unresolved Oceanic Tidal Mixing
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 …
Implementation of implicit filters for spatial spectra extraction
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 …

Trends in regional sea level + EERIE Simulations
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 …

A novel framework for studying oceanic freshwater transports, and its application in discerning the modelled fate of freshwater around the coast of Greenland
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 …
Balancing Informativity and Predictability in Circulation Type Forecasts: A Case Study of Energy Demand in Great Britain
Weather regimes and weather patterns, here jointly referred to as circulation types, are used to generate forecasts for a variety of applications, such as energy demand and flood risk. However, …
Effect of horizontal resolution in North Atlantic mixing and ocean circulation in the EC-Earth3P HighResMIP simulations
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 …
Deep Ocean Steric Sea Level Change in the Subtropical Northwest Atlantic Ocean
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 …
