⛵ Can sailboats improve estimates of the ocean CO₂ sink?
Citizen-science measurements help reveal a stronger Southern Ocean sink, but current sampling is still too sparse to fully constrain long-term trends.

💡 New Paper!

🌡️ How much of recent summer warming is circulation-driven?
Our new study shows that atmospheric circulation trends explain up to 50% of Europe’s summer warming (1979–2023) — with strong but contrasting effects across the northern mid-latitudes.
Dynamics matter.
