Timing of the peak matches well with transport modelling done by @NILU_now showing the plume passing over Trondheim on late Tuesday

We've probably measured methane from the Nord Stream leaks at #OceanLab in Trondheim. Briefly up to 4 ppm on Tuesday afternoon, against a background of around 2.1 ppm. @SINTEF @IdaBea81 @emlynjdavies https://t.co/TFSip9Sew3

On those rare occasions when I have to write something in Word, I'm reminded why I usually don't.

@camillaaustli Jeg tenkte det samme. Veldig liten skrift og veldig smale marger.

Starting a re-read of the Wheel of Time, so that I can be more precise in my annoyance at all the unnecessary changes they have made in the TV series.

Jeg mener det blir som å lese litt ekstra på det læreren har sagt blir viktig til eksamen. Det er ikke juks så lenge man ikke ser på spørsmålene først.

Diskusjon i familien: Er det greit å lese seg opp på Panama før man prøver seg på kvissen i Morgenbladet denne uken? Andre mener nei, jeg mener ja. Hva tenker kvissmesteren? @sigvei

Today we replaced a propeller (turbine?) on a wind generator, which fell off in the recent storm.

Sometimes, when no one else is available, even computational ocean researchers get to go outside and mess around with boats and things. #OceanLab

[Norges forskningsråd @forskningsradet]

@SeniorFrosk @tornordam Nei, men det er fortsatt et godt forslag, og vi har ikke glemt det.

[Tor Nordam @tornordam]

Nytt forslag til en "mission" for @forskningsradet: LaTeX-maler innen 2030. Jeg tror det er en ambisiøs visjon, men innenfor det som er realistisk å få til.

Assuming that #Wordle selectly any five-letter word with equal probability, then TARES has an expectation value of 0.81 correct letters in the correct place, and 2.06 correct letters. (This is also assuming Wordle uses the same word list, and that I didn't make any mistakes.)

[Tor Nordam @tornordam]

I believe TARES shall be my initial guess in #Wordle from now on. Results and some simple code for analysis found here: https://t.co/hrWVg7GZT0

[Tor Nordam @tornordam]

However, if you also include words with I, L, N and T, which are only a little less common than O and R, and you look not only at the number of letters, but also number of letters in the right place, then I think TARES looks more promising.

[UFollowtheOcean @UFollowtheOcean]

Within the @EU_AtlantECO project, @darshika_manral works on obtaining connectivity paths + time scales between @TaraOcean_ stations in the #Atlantic (preliminary results here for passive particles)

What's next? 🧐
How will these connectivities change for #planktons?

Stay tuned!

Jeg har en diskusjon med en kollega. Jeg sa at "Hvor var du da Nepomnjasjtsjij spilte b5?" kommer til å bli det nye "Hvor var du da Brå brakk staven?", men min kollega stiller seg tvilende. Hva tror dere på #nrksjakk ?
