Ewa Bednarz currently telling us about the impact of stratospheric aerosol injections on the circulation @WCRP_SPARC #QBOWorkshop2023. At large injection rates of SO2, this leads to qbo locking in a certain phase. But threshold is strongly model dependent.

If people are curious about how the multi-hub is working #sparcGA2022. We have 2 hubs awake at most times and running joint sessions with session chairs in each. Things are running relatively smoothly so far. Would like to hear how it is going for the online only crowd.

1\ What an excellent @WCRP_SPARC #sparcGA2022 meeting so far, with 3 hybrid hubs, including @ECMWF, saving tons of CO2 emissions in comparison to meeting in a single location. Here’s a brief thread on the contributions by our research group:

Up to now in #sparcGA2022, it is clear that the process understanding is still an open question. Although the basics of dynamics and chemistry are there, the couplings and feedbacks mechanisms are challenging.
