Two images showing (left) initial sea surface temperature in the western Mediterranean Sea and (right) reconstructed data using DINEOF. Land in grey, warm temperatures in red (16°C) and "cool" temperatures in blue (13.5°C). Clouds in white.
another nice one from 6 February, to show you the persistence of these warm patches. Also nice is the meandering current along Algeria 🌊🧪 #DINEOF

Yesterday's sea surface temperature in western Mediterranean Sea, lots of clouds lately but this image isn't bad. Some persistent features (those warm patches in the south) difficult to get in #DINEOF (I mean it works great but there's always a limit! 😅). Check for yourself: www.dineof.uliege.be 🌊🧪
A landscape-oriented event poster for a town hall titled "Ocean Science in a Time of Political Uncertainty" at the Ocean Sciences Meeting 2026 features a background of a dramatic, cloudy sunset over the ocean. At the top, text identifies the event details, and the center displays headshots of five featured panelists: Dr. Brandon Jones (President, American Geophysical Union), Prof. Margaret Leinen (Director Emeritus, Scripps Institution of Oceanography), Prof. Mike Sieracki (Director, Horn Point Laboratory), Prof. Sabrina Speich (Professor, École Normale Supérieure), and Dr. Steve Rocliffe (Senior Technical Advisor, Ocean Resilience and Climate Alliance). Below them, a smaller photo identifies the moderator as Prof. Helen Czerski, a UCL Professor, author, and presenter of "Rare Earth" on BBC Radio 4. The bottom left urges viewers to "Join us for a crucial panel discussion!" while the bottom right provides the logistics: Monday, 23rd February, from 12:45pm to 1:45pm in the Lomond Auditorium. 🌊
Please join this town hall at the Ocean Sciences Meeting in Glasgow that @gmacgilchrist.bsky.social and I are convening, moderated by @helenczerski.bsky.social. We'll discuss what's happening to ocean sciences and what institutions and individuals can do.

This is always funny to see: time of abstract submission to the Liège Colloquium. I am not the only one submitting my abstracts really close to the deadline 😂.
In any case, we have extended a few days, so you still have time to push that Y-axis up! New deadline 16 February 2026 #LiegeOcean26 🌊🧪
Following some requests, we have extended the deadline for submitting your abstracts to the Liège Colloquium #LiegeOcean26 until 16 February. This is the last chance!! 🌊🧪
Lots of great abstracts received so far, it is going to be a great edition!
White icebergs and sea ice fill the lower left corner of the image while lines of white clouds and their dark shadows stretch towards the upper right. The rest of the image is filled with the blue, green, yellowish, and reddish swirls of the Ross Sea and the phytoplankton blooms it contains. The bloom colors have been enhanced to make them more visible. These data were collected by Landsat 8 / OLI on January 25, 2026 at 20:38 UTC.
Summertime is very productive in the #RossSea along the Antarctic coast. This enhanced view shows the #phytoplankton blooming there on January 25, 2026.
A larger version of the image showing more of the sea + McMurdo Sound & Ross Island is available here:

These trainings are great to step up your knowledge of ocean satellite data and to help you in developing your ideas on how to use these data for your research. It's fully online so it's easier to make it fit your schedule 🌊🧪

An image showing sea surface temperature in the Gulf of Lion. Land in grey, warm temperatures in red (15°C) and cold temperatures in blue (13°C). Clouds in white.
An image showing chlorophyll concentration (in logarithmic scale) in the Gulf of Lion. Land in grey, high chlorophyll concentration values in yellow and low values in blue.
Very cloudy days in the western Mediterranean Sea, but on yesterday's image there was this small cold patch in the Rhone plume. So I went up and check #Sentinel3 temperature and chlorophyll, and the plume is really nice and sharp, high contrast with surrounding waters 😀🌊
Just a few days more to submit your abstracts to the Liege Colloquium on Submesoscale processes! #LiegeOcean26

No, it was the way down, I guess there was sediment sticking to the bottom of the rosette from the previous cast, or from the box corer that brought up some nice sediments...
A device (rosette) being lowered into the sea (greenish waters). It's formed by several Niskin bottles (grey) and a ctd (white) with a metal frame.
It always feels good to celebrate the #CTDAppreciationDay 🌊🧪 (it's the white tube to the left in the rosette, the grey ones are Niskin bottles), here during our 2025 field work with @universitedeliege.bsky.social students, on-board the Simon Stevin, from @vliz.be. Muddy North Sea waters!! 😅
Apparently it's #CTDAppreciationDay again. Please check out the most important tool in oceanography. 🌊
🌊 Happy #CTDAppreciationday to all you who celebrate!!!

🌊 Record marine heatwave in 2023: impacts on North Atlantic phytoplankton
In a new Ocean Science highlight paper, we investigate how the exceptional 2023 MHW reshaped Gephyrocapsa huxleyi bloom dynamics in the N.Atlantic, using 25 years of satellite observations.

speaking of ... here is a great ring of phytoplankton off the coase of #NewZealand as seen by NASA's OCI instrument and its respective retrieval of chlorophyll concentration.

A slide showing a blue surface with waves and superposed 0s and 1s on the left, and text describing the session and details for submission: ITS1.9/OS4.1 Machine Learning for Ocean Science https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU26/sessionprogramme/5869# Session abstract: Machine learning (ML) methods have emerged as powerful tools to tackle various challenges in ocean science, encompassing physical oceanography, biogeochemistry, and sea ice research. This session aims to explore the application of ML methods in ocean science, with a focus on advancing our understanding and addressing key challenges in the field. Our objective is to foster discussions, share recent advancements, and explore future directions in the field of ML methods for ocean science. A wide range of machine learning techniques can be considered including supervised learning, unsupervised learning, interpretable techniques, and physics-informed and generative models. The applications to be addressed span both observational and modeling approaches. Observational approaches include for example: - Identifying patterns and features in oceanic fields - Filling observational gaps of in-situ or satellite observations - Inferring unobserved variables or unobserved scales - Automating quality control of data - Modeling approaches can address (but are not restricted to): - Designing new parameterization schemes in ocean models - Emulating partially or completely ocean models - Parameter tuning and model uncertainty The session also welcomes submissions at the interface between modeling and observations, such as data assimilation, data-model fusion, or bias correction. Researchers and practitioners working in the domain of ocean science, as well as those interested in the application of ML methods, are encouraged to attend and participate in this session.
📣 One week left!! 📣

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership.
Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.
Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.
Unbelievable.
L2A artifacts 😊
Yeah seemed too regular to be something natural 😄. Do you know what causes it?
Satellite image taken by Sentinel 2 over the Bay of Biscay on 15 December 2025, showing waters full of suspended sediments in the top right half of the image, in turquoise colour, and open waters in dark blue in the low left half of the image. Image taken from https://browser.dataspace.copernicus.eu
Your pretty picture of the day 😀 🌊with of course many interesting processes! Water rich in suspended sediments is moved around by ocean currents in the Bay of Biscay. I'm curious about the long-range waves seen in the dark region, can't decide if these are oceanic, atmospheric, or an artifact 😅
