TipESM at Ocean Decade Week, Monitoring the Ocean Satelite Event – Improving the Predictability of Climate Tipping Points

8 April 2024, Barcelona, ICM – Institute of Marine Sciences

As part of the Ocean Decade Week, TipESM co-organised the Satellite Event, Monitoring the Ocean. The event brought experts from marine and climate sciences to unpack the importance of monitoring the ocean from satellites to in situ observations for predicting changes in the Earth system and climate.

The event brought together multiple projects and initiatives alongside TipESM as well as diverse experts ranging from remote sensing, oceanography, to high performance computing.

Improving the Predictability of Climate Tipping Points, ENSO and disease models with an enhance ocean-observing system

Xavier Rodo, from ISGlobal and who is co-leading the TipESM Work Package on Societal and Ecoystem Consequences of Climate Tipping Points represented TipESM as an expert on the panel.

Linking the TipESM project to ocean monitoring, Xavier connected how the application and use of ocean observations can improve the predictability of climate tipping points and presented ENSO and disease models which make use of this data.
