SUMMARY:Mixing the Ocean - Alex Chamolly

CONTACT:Andrew Carlotti
DESCRIPTION:The ocean is the least understood environment on earth. Its sh
 eer scale and the complex interplay of physical\, chemical and biological 
 processes affecting its behaviour provide a fascinating challenge for scie
 ntists. For example\, what do you think might affect the transport of heat
  in the top ocean layer? Sunshine\, rain\, currents\, diffusion... you wil
 l soon realise how complicated the answer to this simple question must be.
  What about salinity? Carbon? And what happens if a Hurricane whizzes by? 
 In my talk I will present a cutting-edge model of these using data from a 
 25-year time series conducted off the coast of Bermuda. There will be some
  interesting fluid dynamics\, oceanography\, jokes\, climate science and y
 ou will also learn why biologists should be the ones most excited about th
 is!
