Exciting things from GFDL this week!

On Wednesday, 4/25, GFDL proudly participated in Denim Day in recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. 👖

Then on Thursday, 4/26, GFDL hosted Take Your Child To Work Day, educating students about the lab's research. 🌐

Cold, dense water from the Southern Ocean transfers heat and carbon to the N Hemisphere via the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. But a new study finds that the northward transport of cold water at 16°N weakened by about 12% during 2000-2020. climate.gov/news-features/…

🌍 During #EarthMonth , uncover the science behind GFDL's advanced global models! From predicting weather patterns to long-term climate impacts, learn how models like SPEAR, SHiELD, CM4, and ESM4 are helping us understand the planet. #ClimateScience #NOAA
