Where are we headed? Knowing ‘current’ conditions is not enough. The ocean circulation is changing, and will likely continue to change.

We can’t just simply “model our way out of this”! Short Term Validate existing models speci fi cally for (regional) ventilation processes. Mid/Long Term Use existing simulations, observations and theory to improve our understanding of ocean circulation and ventilation.

Why #openscience? • Pangeo: Collaborative community organized around open source tools and ARCO (Analysis- Ready Cloud-Optimized) Data • Not just sharing code, contributing to open source packages • Less time wasted to recreate results and build on them • Not just sharing data, but making it analysis ready in the cloud. • Use more di ff erent data sources, get more eyes on the data • More diverse and creative approaches for large (and small) datasets. • Cloud computing. Everyone with a browser can analyze TBs of climate data . • Interested in bringing your data to the cloud? Check out pangeo-forge • Can this create connective opportunities with the private sector (CDR implementation)?
