You can see the effect of an increase in the amount of freshwater flowing into the ocean in this ocean colour image from @IMOS_AUS oceancurrent (red patches along the coast next to rivers and estuaries). Note how the plumes flow north due to Coriolis!

It's been a rather rainy week here in Sydney, it felt a lot like the record rains of 2022. So I plotted up the data and wow! This week has been an almost perfect match with April 2022. However, in 2022 we had already received an entire year's worth of rainfall by this stage.
📣📣@OceanRes_UNSW are hiring a project officer.📣📣
Are you highly organised, what to make a difference? Passionate about the #ocean? Want to live in #Sydney. @unsw is a great employer. Position closes 21 April.

Pls retweet.
Excited to announce #SeaCofs The coastal ocean forecast system for SE Australia in collaboration with @ACCESS_NRI @IMOS_AUS @SydneyMarine @OceanRes_UNSW and @UNSWScience @unswbees
Led by @UNSW, this project will create a new, dynamic and more integrated knowledge base on the East Australian Current – reducing uncertainty, maximising opportunity and preparing for future ocean changes.

A huge honour to be awarded the Clarke Medal from the @royalsocnsw Standing on the shoulders of giants with my team @OceanRes_UNSW
Congratulations to Prof Moninya Roughan, recipient of the 2023 Clarke Medal 2023 from the @royalsocnsw, the oldest learned society in the Southern Hemisphere. @moninya follows in the footsteps of Douglas Mawson in receiving this prestigious award! @UNSW @OceanRes_UNSW

The data products are available as NetCDF files here: doi.org/10.26198/wbc7-8h24, and relied on decades of data collection by @CSIRO and @IMOS_AUS

Using daily temperature climatologies and a widely-adopted definition, we detect marine heatwaves and cold spells, heat spikes, and cold spikes since the 1940/50s. We provide event characteristics and a handy event index variable for selecting specific event types 👇

🌊 A group of marine scientists are embarking on a mission to restore the waters of the iconic Sydney Harbour.
If successful, it may become a template for revitalising other urban marine sites worldwide.

To keep pace with a changing climate, and the expected increase in extreme events, we need to include freshwater discharge in our model simulations, and ensure our observe networks don’t neglect coastal salinity.
Prof Moninya Roughan retweeted
What does it all mean? With an increase in extreme rainfall expected in the future, we need to pay more attention to freshwater discharge in normally ‘dry’ areas such as eastern Australia.
Prof Moninya Roughan retweeted
Gliders showed extreme low salinity waters extended more than 70km offshore and persisted for months. We observed a vertical double-stacking phenomena with two layers of fresher water extending deeper than 50m. Stratification was controlled by salinity rather than temperature.
Prof Moninya Roughan retweeted
It turns out it hangs around for a surprisingly long time.
We used a combination of moorings, gliders and remote sensing to define an observational extremes framework for salinity. This allowed us to track the extent and longevity of freshwater plumes associated with floodwaters
