It's a powerful endorsement of model fidelity and utility when such features emerge as a natural result of model operation.

"CMIP6 models and ECCO are in agreement at the surface with supergyres connected across all basins but present some differences at depth in both position and strength."

🔷 One of our main tasks at #nextGEMS is accurately representing land heterogeneity using #EarthSystemModels. That's why one of our key thematic areas is "Storms & Land"

Today, we’re excited to share more about this through an explanatory video! 📽️

In the video, Cathy Hohenegger from the Max Planck Institute for #Meteorology discusses the objectives of this theme and highlights some of the potential outcomes.

Interested in atmospheric blockings? 🤔 Picture them as sky traffic jams! 🚗 Sometimes, high-pressure systems act like roadblocks, stalling weather patterns and prolonging certain conditions like rain, heat, or cold. 🌦

Today, we had a fascinating talk with Edgar Dolores Tesillos from the #UniversityofBern. He explored Atmospheric Blockings, their significance in #EarthSystemModels, and their link to extreme #weather. 🌡️

🔵 As Friday starts, the #nextGEMS #hackathon comes to an end. After five fruitful days of observations, programming, and modelling, the thematic groups shared their observations, analysis, challenges, and suggestions in the closing session. 🌐

Thorsten Mauritsen, from the Storms & Radiation team, shared an astonishing graphical demonstration made with the #ICON model, showing how sand storms form in the Sahara region. 🌍

After a long day of #hacking 🧑🏾‍💻, we organised a World Café dynamic, where the participants exchanged thoughts on eight different topics proposed by other researchers or experts. 🤝🏼

One of the group leaders, Daniel Klocke, proposed addressing technical challenges at the km-scale, while #nextGEMS Project Coordinator Heike Konow shared some lessons learned from project collaboration. 💬

🔵 The second day of the #hackathon has begun! Starting at 9:00 am, our eager participants split into thematic groups and got prepared to start the modelling and programming 👩🏽‍💻🧑🏻‍💻

While the hacking magic happens, we leave you with this shapely indoor view of the @MPI_Meteo building in #Hamburg 🏢

🔵 The #hackathon opening continues!

Scientists Rohit Gosh and Dian Putrasaham shared the current state of the #EarthSystemModels used in the #EERIE project, while highlighting the relevance of the #nextGEMS hackathon in understanding the climate impacts of ocean mesoscale processes. 🌊

#TreeMortality is often neglected in #EarthSystemModels. Global veg models are often very satellite driven leading to detailed #photosynthesis models (dependent on in solar radiation, temperature, and moisture) but less detailed tree death (often just proportional to biomass).

Yu etal 2022 ( nature.com/articles/s41467-022 ) used #MachineLearning to better estimate tree mortality. => Generally reduced expected #LandCarbonStocks.

Interesting article on how to incorporate social/human dynamics into earth system models. This coupling might not necessarily increase #uncertainty because of #feedback processes between both systems. This is surely the next frontier in earth system modeling.
