Dear Colleagues,
We wish you a happy new year and remind you of the final abstract submission deadline 15 January, 13 CET for the EGU session OS1.11 Eddies, waves, and instabilities: observing, modelling, and parameterizing oceanic energy transfers at the EGU Assembly 2025 from 27 April - 02 May in Vienna, Austria and online (abstract below).
We especially invite early career researchers to this session. Please check the various options for financial support for students, scientists from low and middle income countries, as well as scientists with caregiving responsibilities, disability, special needs, and during career transitions: https://www.egu25.eu/guidelines/supports_and_waivers.html

Energy conservation is a
fundamental physical principle, yet it is generally not achieved
in state-of-the-art models of geophysical flows owing to, for
instance, the governing equations and their discretization, the
coupling between model components, or the parameterization of
unresolved processes. It is thus non-trivial to close the energy
budget, which becomes even more challenging due to the multitude
of oceanic processes that undergo nonlinear interactions and
drive energy transfers across a range of scales: from eddies to
internal waves to small-scale turbulence. This session is
devoted to understanding these multi-scale interactions and
associated energy transfers in the ocean, which are ultimately
crucial for developing energetically consistent models,
confidently predict climatic changes, and quantify associated
uncertainties, and thus improve our understanding of the climate
system.
We invite contributions on oceanic energy pathways and their
consistent representation in numerical models from theoretical,
modeling, and observational perspectives. These include, but are
not limited to, the processes involving eddies, internal gravity
waves, instabilities, turbulence, small-scale mixing, and
ocean-atmosphere coupling. Contributions on energy transfer
processes and their quantification from in-situ measurements,
(semi-)analytical approaches, and numerical models, as well as
their parameterizations and spurious energy transfers associated
with numerical discretizations, are also welcome along with
interdisciplinary contributions such as novel applications in
data science that diagnose, quantify, and minimize energetic
inconsistencies and related uncertainties. We particularly
encourage early career researchers to participate in this
session.
