#NewVideo drop! We have a new video on our @YouTube channel showcasing our See-Do-Teach approach for teaching geophysical fluid dynamics with our @LEGO_Group kits at the @nagtgeo 2023 EER workshop. 🌊🌊😃😃

https://t.co/lKuNGo0V0M was launched 10 years ago today! 🎉 At the time, I couldn’t have imagined the longevity and impact this project would have. To all the users and fans over the years: thank you.

And with this anniversary, an announcement:

@phaneritic Apologies for the late response. Yes, 2.5" would work. You can check here, where a 5 cm depth has been used for some experiments:

New Research: Low-cost table-top experiments for teaching multi-scale geophysical fluid dynamics: Multi-scale instabilities are ubiquitous in atmospheric and oceanic flows and are essential topics in teaching geophysical fluid dynamics.… #MarineScience https://t.co/P9pNBvkIsF

Did DIY-namics with my students in the lab today! We demonstrated baroclinic instability (or why weather exists by making localized “high” and “low” pressure eddies) due to the jet speed and the difference in temperature from the tropics to poles.

Always one of my favorite labs!

Feeling super inspired after a wonderful presentation today by UCLA’s Jon Aurnou on GFD and the rotating tanks of @DIYnamicsTeam during this year’s @WHOI Summer School!

[DIYnamics @DIYnamicsTeam]

This looks brilliant! 😍😍

Teaching my 9th dynamics class and finally demo-ing a rotating tank. I have arrived!

Atmospheric rivers are long narrow regions in the tropical atmosphere that transport a lot of water vapor. We can recreate their formation at home using a record player! This video by @UCLA climate science student Vincent Caiazzo shows you how. 😃😃

Beautiful gravity waves over the SUNY Oswego campus today! Never seen them so pronounced and so numerous! #nywx

Really cool demo of baroclinic instability! 🤩

[Ariana Elena Castillo @arianaelena97]

The video is pretty cool too 🍥

Wait for it...

The atmosphere is a fluid by definition and sometimes it looks like a sea full of waves. The setting sun is the cherry on the top.

New blog post by @lindenashcroft about teaching atmospheric circulation using our Lego tank! 😃😃

[Linden Ashcroft @lindenashcroft]

Thanks @DIYnamicsTeam for the opportunity to write about our first semester using Lego rotating tank setup to teach atmospheric circulation!
