NERSC-seminar: Climate prediction for climate services
Speaker: Francisco Doblas-Reyes
Affiliation: ICREA Research Professor at IC3 Institut Català de Ciències del Clima and Barcelona Super Computer.
Climate services are rapidly developing around the existing climate knowledge and data (reanalysis, CORDEX, CMIP5, Copernicus, etc), taking advantage of the evolution of climate research in the last 20 years. However, climate services are also starting to shape the way climate research is organized and funded. This talk will illustrate how climate prediction is evolving to satisfy some of the most pressing climate services requirements, while it uncovers some scientific problems that require support to make progress in basic research. The talk will use results from state-of-the-art seasonal and decadal predictions for the tropical, mid-latitude and polar regions

Shifting - an intervention at the Geophysical Institute and the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research:
Katrin von Lehmann spent March and April 2014 at the Geophysical institute. Leading several interviews with scientists here, she got to know the scientists and their work on climate phenomena. During the evolving discussion some of the scientists went spontaneously to the blackboard explaining their work using chalk to make drawings. The artist was astonished at the application of this obsolete medium instead of digital visualisation in times when our daily life is highly based on technology. Subsequently, Katrin von Lehmann took her starting point in photographs of these blackboard drawings. During her working process she manipulated these photographs by placing herself in a field of tension between systematic approach and intuitive decision making.
The outcome of this is 4 series of work entitled Blackboard Drawings #1 to #4 which are brought back to be shown at the institute

NERSC seminar: WIGWAM Reverberation Revisited
Speaker:
Brian Dushaw
Affiliation:
NERSC
Operation WIGWAM was a test of a 30 kt nuclear depth charge conducted in deep water 500 miles southwest of San Diego on 14 May 1955. Its primary purpose was to determine the effectiveness of that device as an antisubmarine weapon. The acoustic pulse from the test, initially an intense shockwave, radiated throughout
the North and South Pacific Oceans.
