Text Generators With Dr. Andrea Feldman, Teaching Professor of Distinction, Program for Writing and Rhetoric and Dr. Rolf Norgaard, Teaching Professor Distinction, Program for Writing and Rhetoric, CU Boulder. In an era of ChatGPT and A.I. text generators, how can we harness these tools without undermining student learning? Using a text generator with concrete examples, the session will demonstrate how to design writing prompts that require students to use rhetorical strategies in ways that defy A.I. text generation. Given this new environment, Teaching Professors of Distinction Andrea Feldman and Rolf Norgaard will join us to discuss how to navigate writing in the academy. -- Scott Briggs (he/him/his) Administrator Advanced Study Program Education, Engagement and Early-Career Development National Center For Atmospheric Research *phone: 303.497.1607* -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We look forward to seeing you on Feb. 10! -The ATOC Colloquium Committee _________________________________________________ *An Analysis of North American Polar-Subtropical Jet Superpositions that Coincide with High-Impact Weather Events* Clairy Reiher (ATOC) A vertical superposition of the polar and subtropical jet streams constitutes a unique synoptic-scale environment with the potential to induce high-impact weather, including anomalously strong surface cyclones that are accompanied by heavy precipitation and strong winds. In this study, we pair a climatology of jet superpositions with climatologies of atmospheric rivers and surface cyclones to determine the frequency with which these features accompany jet superpositions. We subsequently use the association of surface cyclones and atmospheric rivers with jet superpositions to construct two subsets of jet superpositions: a set of ?high-impact? events that are likely to induce high-impact weather, and a set of ?null? events that are unlikely to induce high-impact weather. Composite analyses are then performed to identify discriminating environmental factors between high-impact and null events, and how these factors influence jet superposition dynamics. *The Impact of Orbital Precession on Carbon Flux in the Southern Ocean* Cole Persch (ATOC) Orbital precession has been statistically linked to glacial cycles via its influence on the cryosphere, but its direct impact on the atmospheric CO2 record is less well-known. The Southern Ocean is an important driver of atmospheric CO2 due to its rapid carbon outgassing and has been shown to respond to precession. This work seeks to test for a link between precession and carbon outgassing in the Southern Ocean that would explain the 21 kyr power found in the historical atmospheric CO2 record. A set of Earth System Models have been run with different orbital parameters to isolate the impact of precession on carbon outgassing in the Southern Ocean. Setting the Northern-Hemisphere winter solstice to occur at the perihelion of Earth's orbit results in enhanced carbon outgassing in the Southern Ocean due to the Southern Hemisphere Westerlies shifting poleward. *Antarctic Ice Sheet Discharge Drives Large Scale Southern Ocean Circulation Changes* Tessa Gorte (ATOC) Multidecadal satellite observations indicate that the Antarctic Ice Sheet is losing mass at an accelerating rate. Containing enough water in the form of ice to raise global mean sea level by nearly 70 m, capturing this rapid mass loss is crucial for accurately modelling our global climate system; however most models fail to do so for lack of an active ice sheet component for Antarctica. In this project, we create two simulations using the Community Earth System Model version 2 -- one with constant freshwater discharge from the AIS and one with an AIS freshwater forcing that mimics findings from satellite observations -- to explore the potential impacts of pseudo-realistic AIS mass loss both locally and globally. We find that the increased AIS freshwater discharge has extensive impacts on the Southern Ocean; affecting the temperature and density structure of the internal ocean as well as engendering changes to the ocean-atmosphere heat flux over the course of the 21st century. __________________________________________________ *Zoom login Information:* *Topic: ATOC Colloquium* *Time: Friday, Feb. 10 at 11am MT* *Join Zoom Meeting* *https://cuboulder.zoom.us/j/97845417945 * *Meeting ID: 978 4541 7945 * *Passcode: ATOC* One tap mobile +17193594580,,97845417945# US +16699006833,,97845417945# US (San Jose) Dial by your location +1 719 359 4580 US +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) +1 669 444 9171 US +1 646 558 8656 US (New York) +1 646 931 3860 US +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) +1 309 205 3325 US +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) +1 386 347 5053 US +1 564 217 2000 US Meeting ID: 978 4541 7945 Find your local number: https://cuboulder.zoom.us/u/acegj8GnMV Join by SIP 97845417945 at zoomcrc.com Join by H.323 162.255.37.11 (US West) 162.255.36.11 (US East) 115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai) 115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad) 213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands) 213.244.140.110 (Germany) 103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney) 103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne) 149.137.40.110 (Singapore) 64.211.144.160 (Brazil) 149.137.68.253 (Mexico) 69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto) 65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver) 207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo) 149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka) Meeting ID: 978 4541 7945 Passcode: 432312 _______________________________________________________ *Andrew C.

We find that the increased AIS freshwater discharge has extensive impacts on the Southern Ocean; affecting the temperature and density structure of the internal ocean as well as engendering changes to the ocean-atmosphere heat flux over the course of the 21st century. __________________________________________________ *Zoom login Information:* *Topic: ATOC Colloquium* *Time: Friday, Feb. 10 at 11am MT* *Join Zoom Meeting* *https://cuboulder.zoom.us/j/97845417945 * *Meeting ID: 978 4541 7945 * *Passcode: ATOC* One tap mobile +17193594580,,97845417945# US +16699006833,,97845417945# US (San Jose) Dial by your location +1 719 359 4580 US +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) +1 669 444 9171 US +1 646 558 8656 US (New York) +1 646 931 3860 US +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) +1 309 205 3325 US +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) +1 386 347 5053 US +1 564 217 2000 US Meeting ID: 978 4541 7945 Find your local number: https://cuboulder.zoom.us/u/acegj8GnMV Join by SIP 97845417945 at zoomcrc.com Join by H.323 162.255.37.11 (US West) 162.255.36.11 (US East) 115.114.131.7 (India Mumbai) 115.114.115.7 (India Hyderabad) 213.19.144.110 (Amsterdam Netherlands) 213.244.140.110 (Germany) 103.122.166.55 (Australia Sydney) 103.122.167.55 (Australia Melbourne) 149.137.40.110 (Singapore) 64.211.144.160 (Brazil) 149.137.68.253 (Mexico) 69.174.57.160 (Canada Toronto) 65.39.152.160 (Canada Vancouver) 207.226.132.110 (Japan Tokyo) 149.137.24.110 (Japan Osaka) Meeting ID: 978 4541 7945 Passcode: 432312 _______________________________________________________ *Andrew C.

Carlos Martinez NCAR Climate & Global Dynamics Division Seasonal Climatology, Variability, Characteristics, and Prediction of the Caribbean Rainfall Cycle ABSTRACT: The Caribbean and Central America hydroclimate is understudied and complex in part due to its data sparsity, varied topographies, and multi-faceted interactions with tropical and mid-latitude forcings. A refined and comprehensive understanding of the observed and simulated Caribbean hydroclimate is presented, using a variety of in-situ and satellite precipitation products, reanalysis, and models. The seasonal cycle of rainfall in the Caribbean hinges on three main facilitators of moisture convergence: the Atlantic Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), the Eastern Pacific ITCZ, and the North Atlantic Subtropical High (NASH). A warm body of sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) in the Caribbean basin known as the Atlantic Warm Pool (AWP) and a low-level jet centered at 925hPa over the Caribbean Sea known as the Caribbean Low-Level Jet (CLLJ) modify the extent of moisture provided by these main facilitators. The Early (ERS) and Late-Rainy Seasons (LRS) are impacted in distinctly different ways by two different, and largely independent, large-scale phenomena, external to the region: a SLP dipole mode of variability in the North Atlantic known as the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), and the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The seasonal prediction of the Caribbean rainfall cycle is assessed using the identified variables that could provide predictive skill of S2S rainfall characteristics in the region and using the North America Multi-Model Ensemble (NMME). The use of SLP, 850-hPa zonal winds (u850), vertically integrated zonal (UQ), and meridional (VQ) moisture fluxes show comparable, if not better, forecast skill of Caribbean precipitation characteristics than SSTs, with lead times of up to two months. Finally, fully coupled CESM and CMIP6 simulations underestimate precipitation across the Caribbean, with some improvements using high-resolution (<0.5?) simulations. The underestimations are largest during the ERS. Precipitation biases in AMIP experiments are smaller, regardless of their spatial resolution, suggesting precipitation is improved when observed SST is used. These results have important implications for prediction, decision-making, modeling capabilities, understanding the genesis of hydro-meteorological disasters, investigating rainfall under other modes of variability, and Caribbean impact studies regarding weather risks and future climate. ?

To: Rising Voices *Applications are now open for the * *11th Annual Rising Voices Workshop! * Understanding the Relationships: People, Place, Technology, the Environment, and Climate Change We are pleased to announce the 11th Annual Rising Voices Center for Indigenous and Earth Sciences Workshop, which will be a hybrid gathering, held both virtually and in-person at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, from Wednesday, May 31 ? Friday, June 2, 2023. The application site for the workshop is now open. If you are interested in participating in the 11th Annual Rising Voices Workshop, the deadline to apply is February 28th at https://risingvoices.ucar.edu/events/workshops/2023/apply. Everyone must apply, whether you are applying to participate in-person or virtually. Applicants will be notified by March 20th. In-person space is limited. There is also limited travel funding available. Please share this announcement with your networks. We look forward to our shared conversations and time together! About the Workshop The theme of the workshop is Understanding the Relationships: People, Place, Technology, the Environment, and Climate Change. How do these relate to each other and to rebuilding and rediscovering relationships? The dominant go-to response for climate solutions is a technological fix. What if we situate technology within the mindset of not about fixing things, but healing our relatives? What do the relationships between people, place, technology, and the environment mean for climate actions? What do these dynamics mean for issues around power, justice and data sovereignty, and around the differences and intersections of data, information, knowledge, and wisdom? How has the change in technology over time changed how we share our stories and communicate our science? What role does technology play in re-engaging and rebuilding relationships with the natural world and how might we strategize this re-engagement? We can look to past and contemporary examples to understand the future. The ?work? part of the workshop is in rebuilding and rediscovering relationships: to the world, to place, to all relatives, to each other.
