And for dessert we have some more oceanography modelling of frontogenesis in the Denmark Strait done by Mike Spall and Bob Pickart @WHOI#IGPworkshop#oceanography@MITgcm
Annick Terpstra (@Geofysen & @ueaenv): most previous cold air outbreak & polar low climatologies depend too much on the SST pattern and can lead to misleading results.
Annick presents new synthesis of a refined CAO metric and mesoscale cyclone tracking.
#IGPworkshop#meteorology
The final session of #IGPworkshop starts with @meteodenny (@CollegeofEMPS) presenting recent work on North Atlantic polar mesoscale cyclones in #ERA5 and ERA-Interim reanalyses
#meteorology#polarprediction#YOPP
Heidi Golid joins us from @Geofysen via skype to show the COSMO model validation against aircraft observations. Model accuracy increases with decreasing lead time and finer resolution. Optimal lead time +9 to +18 h.
#IGPworkshop#meteorology#YOPP#polarprediction
Day 2 of #IGPworkshop is kicked off by the overview of aircraft observations of surface heat fluxes over the marginal ice zone presented by Andy Elvidge

Jake Opher (@BAS_News & @ueaenv):
- Denmark Strait overflow water has an annual cycle of salinity
- Probably derives from lighter classes of DSOW source water

Stefanie Semper: Iceland-Faroe Slope Jet shows up in drifter trajectories and numerical models. It exhibits 3 cores of overflow water, has a dense transport mode similar to the NIJ, and shows no significant evolution of the transport mode in T or S.
