Here we will outline research project ideas for the postdocs

Please allow me to post my random thoughts: I just noticed the CMIP6 models show sea level rise persistently faster around the ACC in near-term (2021-2040), mid-term (2041-2060), and long-term (2081-2100) from the 1995-2014 baseline in a warming climate.

The following is the long-term projection with the SSP3-7.0 scenario: https://interactive-atlas.ipcc.ch/permalink/qUMAX3bf スクリーンショット 2024-10-21 183914

This reminds me of a series of excellent works by Shi et al. about the buoyancy-driven acceleration of the ACC.

Then wondered if we can do something about the eddy flux's response to the ongoing/upcoming increase in the large-scale SSH gradient driven by heat uptake and freshening, perhaps in addition to the wind intensification perspective. Interestingly, as suggested in another paper by Shi et al., the wind-driven salinity increase can offset the buoyancy-driven freshening, and the resulting baroclinic structure would be key for the tracer transport...

Thankyou Kaihe. These are very interesting ideas!
