SMOWS: Satellite Mode Waters Salinity, in synergy with Temperature and Sea Level
Prime company: CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE (CNRS) (FR)Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Audrey Hasson. Mode waters (MWs) transport a large volume of heat, carbon and other properties across basins at seasonal to longer time-scales and thus play a major role in the modulation of the Earth climate. In the context of anthropogenic global warming, unlocking the understanding of the MWs transport …
Marco Bellacicco
“As well as doing my research, it has been an invaluable opportunity to complement my knowledge about the ocean opening new interest’s pathways” After the end of the Living Planet Fellowship, Marco was a postdoc fellow at the ISMAR-CNR in Rome. He was working on ocean carbon from space and in synergy with autonomous …
William Llovel
William is a post-doctoral researcher working at LEGOS located in Toulouse, France. His research interests are investigating sea level change at global and regional scales. William particularly focuses his investigations on interannual to long-term changes. The main scientific questions of his research are: how is sea level changing? And why is sea level changing? To …
PHYSIOGLOB: Assessing the inter-annual physiological response of phytoplankton to global warming using long-term satellite observations
Prime company: ITALIAN NATIONAL AGENCY FOR NEW TECHNOLOGIES, ENERGY AND SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (ENEA) (IT)Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Marco Bellacicco. Phytoplankton is considered to be responsible for approximately 50% of the planetary primary production and is at the basis of the trophic chain. Large scale factors such as climate, ocean circulation, and mostly anthropogenic activities, affect phytoplankton biomass and distribution. For all of these reasons, …
OVALIE: Oceanic intrinsic Variability versus Atmospheric forced variabiLIty of sea level changE
Prime company: CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE (CNRS) (FR)Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by William Llovel and Alice Carret. Global mean sea level rise is one of the most direct consequences of actual global warming. Since the beginning of the 20th century, global mean sea level experiences an unabated increase of 1.1-1.9 mm.yr-1 recorded by tide gauges. Based on satellite altimetry …
Chaotic ocean variability can mask regional sea level trends
Regional sea level trends present large spatial patterns caused by natural variability (changes in winds, air-sea flux etc.) along with anthropogenic influences in the atmosphere. These sea level trends can be partially masked by random oceanic processes. Global mean sea level rise is one of the most direct consequences of the on-going global warming. Based …
