Thanks @edoddridge, here are a couple of things I’d like to mention in today’s meeting:
We’ll soon generate new topography for ACCESS-OM3, but before we do that we’d like to take suggestions from the COSIMA community on improvements we could make to the grid. Comments/ideas welcome here: New grids · Issue #172 · COSIMA/access-om3 · GitHub
COSIMA has an ethics statement which is intended to foster a culture of open and respectful cooperation. Please have a look and let us know your thoughts, especially if you have suggestions for improvement.
Sharing an invitation to hear Sarah Gille talk about the proposed NASA ODYSEA mission.
Cheers,
Ed

Title: ODYSEA: Simultaneous Winds and Surface Currents via Satellite Doppler Scatterometry
Abstract: Ocean-surface vector winds, surface currents, and the interactions between winds and currents together shape many aspects of the Earth’s environment, influencing weather, climate, ocean transport, ecosystems, and ocean health. At present, no instrument specifically examines winds and total surface currents daily on a global scale to evaluate wind–current interactions. The ODYSEA (Ocean Dynamics and Surface Exchange with the Atmosphere) satellite mission will address these gaps directly. ODYSEA is a Doppler scatterometer, proposed as a PI-led mission, with engineering support from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in partnership with the French Space Agency, CNES. Measurements will provide an unprecedented opportunity to examine small-scale air-sea momentum exchange and will yield new understanding of surface current response to changing winds. The mission’s near-real time data will meet operational needs for weather forecasting, search and rescue, and seafaring. ODYSEA has been selected for further development as part of NASA’s Earth System Explorers program, with final selection to be made in mid-2025. ODYSEA invites broad discussion to help ensure that the mission is responsive to community requirements.
