This week's colloquium will be virtue, with a zoom link https://fsu.zoom.us/j/95162245812?pwd=M29ranFxd2dUWlBqYTc1d0N4YkZYZz09 The information of the colloquium is attached in the following and a separated flyer. -------------------- Speaker: Prof. Da Yang, Department of Land, Air, and Water Resources, University of California, Davis Title: Cold Air Rises Abstract: Conventional knowledge suggests that warm air rises while cold air sinks. In this seminar, the speaker will use satellite observations to show that, on average, rising air is colder than sinking air in the tropical atmosphere. This is due to the buoyancy effect of water vapor --- an overlooked effect in studying large-scale circulations and climate. Preliminary analysis suggests that some state-of-art climate models have misrepresented the buoyancy effect of water vapor, which can lead to profound biases in simulation clouds, rainfall, and climate.

The first talk normally starts at 11:00AM.? Each talk is typically 12 minutes long (similar to many professional meetings), with 8 minutes for questions. These talks will be presented via Zoom, with the following connection information: https://fsu.zoom.us/j/98491660566?pwd=NzBxNzN4LzdsbSs4R3B6RzliOGhhdz09 Meeting ID: 984 9166 0566 Passcode: 478314 Sept. 13 Xu Chen: The 2nd Generation of FVCOM Simulation for Apalachicola Bay Description: The fundamental motivation of this study is related to the? ecosystem in Apalachicola Bay which has collapsed in recent years. It has a very bad influence on the fishery, oyster industry, related commercial, and recreational industries. To diagnose and restore the ecosystem in Apalachicola Bay, the ABSI project is proposed to gain insight into the problem. One important goal of ABSI is to configure a hydrodynamic model for the lower Apalachicola River, Apalachicola Bay and the surrounding coastal and inner shelf regions. Because Dmitry and Steve have configured one coarse-resolution model (100m) using FVCOM ten years ago, this model is considered as the 2nd generation of FVCOM simulation for Apalachicola Bay. Results of the simulation will be briefly presented in this talk. Dmitry Dukhovskoy: Development of the CSOMIO coupled ocean-oil-sediment-biology model Description: This talk will present a coupled 3D ocean-oil-biology-sediment modeling system developed by the Consortium for Simulation of Oil Microbial Interactions in the Ocean (CSOMIO) project. Central to CSOMIO?s coupled modeling system is an oil plume model coupled to the hydrodynamic model (Regional Ocean Modeling System, ROMS). The oil plume model is based on a Lagrangian approach that describes the oil plume dynamics including advection and diffusion of individual Lagrangian elements, each representing a cluster of oil droplets. The chemical composition of oil is described in terms of three classes of compounds: saturates, aromatics, and heavy oil (resins and asphaltenes). The oil plume model simulates the rise of oil droplets based on ambient ocean flow and density fields, as well as the density and size of the oil droplets. The oil model also includes surface evaporation and surface wind drift. A novel component of the CSOMIO model is two-way Lagrangian-Eulerian mapping of the oil characteristics. This mapping is necessary for implementing interactions between the ocean-oil module and the Eulerian sediment and biogeochemical modules. Renee Richardson: /The NOAA SeaGrant Knauss Fellowship: My Experience and How You Can Apply!/ Description - In February 2021, I began my NOAA SeaGrant John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship with my host office, NOAA Weather Program Office (WPO). For the past 6 months, I have gained policy and program management experience working in the Weather Observations Program and the Disaster Related Appropriation Supplemental (DRAS) Program. In this talk, I will cover the Knauss fellowship application process, placement process, my experiences, and the upcoming notice for applying to the 2023 Knauss Fellow class. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This week's colloquium is a combination of virtual and in-person. The following are the related information, also see the attached flyer: Speaker: Prof. Jon Ahlquist, Chandler Pruett, and Robert Szot Title: Weathering the Storm: How Graphical Visualizations Affect Tropical System Forecast Perceptions Abstract: The Cone of Uncertainty (COU) is a graphic designed by the National Hurricane Center that communicates the forecast track of the center of tropical systems. The COU graphic primarily distills a forecast and its uncertainty to a single image, making redistribution of the NHC?s forecast highly available to the general public. However, previous research suggests the public is confused by the COU and desires to know a storm?s hazards in addition to its track. To probe this question, this study conducted an extensive survey during the summer of 2021 to understand how the public perceives the current COU and what modifications they may desire to facilitate storm preparations. Specifically, the research team designed ten graphics -- the current COU with and without the track line plus eight modifications -- based on a literature review and original concepts. These illustrations were shown to 149 in-person respondents throughout the state of Florida and 4,181 online respondents throughout the United States. By recognizing how the general public understands the current COU and potential modifications to the graphic, this study investigated if a COU redesign was necessary and what modifications would need to be included in such a redesign. Our finding is that survey respondents preferred a COU that includes threat level at landfall.

This talk will present results on the interactions between strong frontal eddies and the LC and how these events modify the balance of forces in the LC front, shifting from a geostrophic to a gradient-wind balance regime. Additionally, the effect of the LCFE intensification on the local circulation is investigated. It was found that frontal eddies can (1) attract particles and passive tracers such as chlorophyll and oil from the surrounding Gulf water and the shelf to offshore regions, and (2) once inside the vortex boundary, the frontal eddies can transport these particles without exchange with the exterior for weeks. Thus, LCFE intensification is a crucial process for cross-shelf exchanges and predicting oil and particle transport in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico. Phillippe Miron: Transition Pathways of Marine Debris and the Stability of Garbage Patches Description: Tons of plastic debris gets released into the ocean every day, and most of it accumulates within garbage patches in the center of each ocean. The most infamous one, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, is in the North Pacific Ocean. In a recent publication, we explored debris pathways from the coasts to the garbage patches using transition path theory (TPT), as well as the relative strengths of different subtropical gyres in the ocean and how it influences the long-term accumulation of debris. The TPT analysis was applied on a pollution-aware Markov chain model constructed from trajectories of satellite-tracked undrogued buoys from the NOAA Global Drifter Program. Directly connecting pollution sources along coastlines with garbage patches of varied strengths, the unveiled pollution routes represent alternative targets for ocean cleanup efforts. Among our specific findings, we highlight: constraining a highly probable pollution source for the Great Pacific Garbage Patch; characterizing the weakness of the Indian Ocean gyre as a trap for plastic waste; and unveiling a tendency of the subtropical gyres to export garbage toward the coastlines rather than to other gyres in the event of anomalously intense winds. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The purpose of the meeting is to let the FSU community know about some of the services offered by the RCC and to share with you the RCC? vision for the future of the Center. Since its inception, the RCC has grown from being a?host for ashared computing cluster?to being a full-fledged research computing center offering services such as high-performance computing, data storage, training, and consulting. With the growth of computational needs in all domains of research, the RCC seeks to expand its services so that it can cater to a broader community of FSU users, including researchers who might not consider themselves to be traditional users of high-performance computing. To this end, the RCC has restructured its funding model and established?a faculty-led Management Board to help the Center grow to?match the needs of FSU researchers. In the town hall, we will describe the RCC, the new funding model, and describe use?cases for all computational experience?levels from advanced to beginner. But most importantly, the RCC management board wants to hear from you, so the town hall?will conclude with a question-and-answer?session where you can ask questions about the Center and make suggestions for us to consider in the future. We sincerely hope?that you will be able to attend.Meeting details are given?below RCC Town Hall Oct. 12,3:00-4:00 Hybrid format ?
