Anomalia Animada
Sebastian Krieger produziu este filme, com 14 anos de dados de anomalia da altura do nível do mar (em mm), dos satélites TOPEX e Jason1. Note as ondas de Rossby indo para Oeste no mundo todo, ondas de Kelvin indo para leste no equador e os vórtices nas correntes de borda oeste. Perceba o aumento da altura média.
Novos Estagiários
Danilo Rodrigues Vieira e Carine de Godoi Rezende Costa do terceiro ano agora fazem parte do time.
O LOS aumentou
A sala 172B agora é parte do LOS, dobrando a nossa área útil.
Patrick é Mestre
O primeiro mestre formado pelo LOS é Patrick D. de Montezuma, que defendeu em 22 de Fevereiro sua dissertação sobre a influência das ondas de Rossby na concentração de clorofila em médias latitudes.
