Our next meeting is on tomorrow (Thursday 29 May) at 1130
This week we’ll hear from Aditya Sengupta (Uni Melb) who will be presenting on “Potential role of long-term Southern Ocean warming on sustained weakening of Pacific SST gradient and Walker Cell Strength in ACCESS-ESM1-5”.
Other business:
Reminder that COSIMA Workshop abstract submissions are open
The next session is on TOMORROW and it’s all about visualisation!
Session 6: Visualising the Southern Ocean using ACCESS-Vis - using 3D graphics tools to animate sea ice, current and other features from ACCESS model outputs in the Antarctic region
Description: An introduction to ACCESS-Vis and ACCESS-Visualisation-Recipes, the example-driven set of visualisation tools and workflows we’re developing for working visually with ACCESS model outputs and other earth-systems datasets. These tools use GPU powered 3D graphics techniques which have the advantage of allowing rapid rendering of large amounts of data to assist in analysis as well as animation tools to bring data to life in 3D for communication and outreach.
I’ll talk briefly about what is released so far and the tools and examples available on our Github, then run through a more in-depth example demonstration to visualise data in the Southern Ocean that will hopefully be relevant to COSIMA, which I’ll also share as a reference.
Prerequisites
Familiarity with Python, Jupyter, Xarray and Numpy
