I'm spending less time that I would like on research lately, and this week was specially bad... So I made a quick chart to estimate how bad it was 😬 That 8% of research was basically preparing a poster for a conference next week... I'll be doing these more often, hoping I can improve that %!!
A focus of the 8th #OceanStateReport#CopernicusMarine is marine heatwaves: the fraction of the sea surface that experiences one each year keeps increasing 🌊 I'm surprised by the moderate events line (yellow) going down. Events are increasingly going to "strong" once a marine heatwave starts.

Europe saw its warmest summer on record in 2024. Extreme temperatures in regions such as southeastern Europe are impacting the well-being of Europeans, as citizens in this region are experiencing more heat stress than ever before. 🧪⚒️🌊 #climatecrisis@copernicusecmwf.bsky.social
One of the awesome things about teaching is getting asked obvious questions that I've never thought about. Like why is it called 'geostrophic' balance? Turns out, we might have ended up calling it 'geostrepsic' balance were it not for Sir Napier Shaw F.R.S. 1/🌊
Belgian road admin told me it's "absolutely impossible" to make a bike lane on these +1 m wide margins, and invites me to take a 1-lane road with 13% slope parts and cars in both directions 😠
What an incredible summer in the Gulf of Finland which still continues. The sea surface temperatures are +17C, at the late August level. Already 14 record-warm days in a row at the Gulf of Finland wavebuoy!
