Workshop Summary Day 3

A summary and recap from the 3rd day of the workshop is given below:

  • Development of data assimilation for isotopes: 
    • Not only for present-day, but also for paleo-climate applications: e.g. last 2k, time slices.
  • Proxy-system modelling:
    • opportunity for model-data comparison and data assimilation for paleo 
  • Modelling advances: 
    • Recent development of isotope-enabled earth system models,
    • Emergence of long, transient, coupled model simulations,
    • Prospect: isotopes in a global CRM!
  • Call for SWING3! 
    • Would be broader than SWING2, with possibly LES/CRM, paleo-climate simulations.
  • Research on basic fractionation processes is still ongoing!
    • e.g. kinetic fractionation during evaporation at the ocean surface
    • Snow surface fractionation processes, need to consider multi-layers
    • Impact of ice microphysics and surface snow sublimation on dexcess?
