Ocean Sciences Meeting 2016
February 21-26, 2016, New Orleans, USA
The biannual Ocean Sciences Meeting was held from February 21 to 26, 2016 in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. Around 4000 scientists from all over the world working in different marine science disciplines were expected at the meeting. Among those, four ArcTrain students presented their research: Tilia Breckenfelder, Kerstin Kretschmer, Vasco Müller and Georg S. Voelker. Kerstin contributed by talking about "A modeling approach to investigate the sensitivity of plankton phenology to global change since the Last Glacial Maximum" in the session "PC12A Assessing Ecosystem Variability from Paleoceanographic Archives".
Vasco talked about "Eddy-induced Temperature Exchange between the Subpolar and the Subtropical Gyre of the North Atlantic" in the session "PO53A Climate Trends, Hydrographic Variability, Circulation, and Air-Land-Sea Interactions in the Marginal Seas of the North Atlantic". Tilia's poster with the title "The Upper Branch of the AMOC in the Subpolar North Atlantic in Model and Observation" was displayed in the session "PO54A Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation: Past, Present, and Future". Finally, Georg presented his poster "Energetics of Wind-Induced Internal Wave Radiation from the Base of the Mixed Layer in the North Atlantic" in the session "PO24E The Ocean's Energy Cascade: Measuring and Modeling of Instabilities, Internal Waves, and Turbulence at the Submesoscale and Smaller".
Due to the conference's focus solely on oceanographic topics, we were able to attend several interesting sessions, dealing with topics related to our specific work. We attended, among others, the sessions "Mesoscale and Submesoscale Processes: Characterization, Dynamics, and Representation", "Climate Trends, Hydrographic Variability, Circulation and Air-Land-Sea Interactions in the Marginal Seas of the North Atlantic" and "Ocean Heat and Carbon Uptake and Storage: Observations, Mechanisms, and Feedbacks". Additionally, we were able to obtain a more general overview on some topics by participating in so-called tutorial talks, like the one given by Amy Bower about "Going with the Flow: Lagrangian Oceanography using Acoustically Tracked Subsurface Floats". Furthermore, we attended several plenary sessions and listened to very interesting and inspiring talks given by, among others, Susan Lozier and Antje Boetius. Another of this year's highlights was the Munk Award ceremony in which Carl Wunsch was honoured. Particularly because the award was presented by one of the the great pioneers of physical oceanography, Walter Munk himself. We also made a lot of new acquaintances for instance during the student mixer and during the poster sessions by having very interesting discussions with other scientists.
We thank ArcTrain for the generous support allowing us to travel to this conference.
