The WOOP26 workshop in Finse is over! Friends and colleagues from Europe and the US joined us to figure out where to go on wave measurements in the future, also taking time for a bit of skiing and more philosophical discussions on how we should study waves. Thanks!

An exceptionally strong storm in the Norwegian Arctic zone, with wave heights exceeding 10 m. 🌊🧊 #Sentinel-1 data shows how the storm pushed the ice edge over 100 km northward over a couple of days! gif 👉 #CDSE

my first successful experiment at using copilot to help build something: github.com/gauteh/max-m.... with few extra instructions, copilot wrote an embedded driver for the ublox max-m10s gps driver in #rust (porting @sparkfun.bsky.social driver), and wrote an example that worked with a custom pcb.

#OSM26 is over. We even captured royal interest! If you missed the poster, watch it in the OSM gallery, or follow here to stay updated on future publications on this! 🌊🧪

At the Ocean Science Meeting we present the analysis of wind drift factor for open source surface drifters in the Agulhas current. Come and see poster #1776! Thanks to @gauteh.bsky.social @met.no @agu.org and others!

The old Alexandrian port started started construction in 1900 BC. It has two openings, allowing ships, and waves, to enter. Here 8 s waves are simulated as they enter the harbor using a BEM-model (github.com/gauteh/ohbemn), creating a beautiful interference pattern 🌊 🧪.

New version of notecard-rs released, rust driver for the blues notecard. Supporting defmt v1, embedded-hal v1 coming soon: github.com/gauteh/notec... #rust #embedded

New wave-buoys deployed with the help of the coast-guard in Fedjeosen (outside Bergen)! Rougher conditions than expected, but all safely deployed. Data is open, and can be seen in real-time on BarentsWatch (www.barentswatch.no/ohoi/point/4...)! #waves 🌊 @met.no | github.com/gauteh/sfy #opensource

COVID-19 vaccines save lives, but evidence is mounting that vaccines also protect against heart disease. A study in Nature Communications again shows lower rates of heart attacks and strokes after the first dose. Infections increase those risks. RFK Jr is a prat. 🧪🩺 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The first (1955) Danish edition of Ray Bradbury’s FAHRENHEIT 451. Later editions did not convert the title, so this is the only SI-compatible edition! 🎢

Surface waves & acoustic waves! Starting new projects... #audiomoth 🧪🌊

Why does Earth spin faster on August 5, July 5 and July 22 this year? Discover how winds, ocean currents, magma, and Moon’s gravity shorten the day by 1.33 milliseconds and why GPS needs corrections. Read the article to explore the science of Earth's rotation and more! 🔭 🧪 #Science #planetsci

Last year we organized the WOOP meeting on small, wave, open source, observation platforms. No a paper inspired by the meeting and Feynman's quote: “There’s Plenty of Room At The Bottom” is published, read more about miniature buoys there: journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal... 🌊🧪 #waves

I'm looking for what currently exists of clients for accessing geo-spatial data like ocean models stored in object storage? similar to the copernicus marine toolbox, but general. something that works with noaa data? @pangeo.io @xarray.bsky.social @copernicusmarine.bsky.social #scientificdata

EXCLUSIVE: This just happened onstage in front of 6,000 Bostonians at the Dropkick Murphys concert. "This is America, no kings here!" @dropkickmurphys.com nails it again!!

Casey: There’s this whole mentality that MAGA has painted—like you’re either MAGA or you’re, you know, drinking soy lattes or whatever. But there are a lot of people who are just like, “We’re just regular people—we don’t want a dictator, we don’t want to see people’s benefits ripped away..”

Read about how to do back-tracking of drifting stuff in the ocean in a Bayesian way! Think search-and-rescue with observed debris or a reported position: authors.elsevier.com/c/1kYvp5Cmkv... 🧪🌊 Using the OpenDrift framework: github.com/OpenDrift/op...

The paper describing our Small, friendly, buoYs (SFYs) is accepted: journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal... . They record the full time series at 52 Hz! Beaming it back home over cellular. Used in moorings and in drifting configurations in the surf! Code and hardware here: github.com/gauteh/sfy. 🌊🧪

A description of the Nazaré refraction experiment (in Norw.): www.met.no/nyhetsarkiv/.... With a video (in Eng.) explaining the refraction: vimeo.com/1041668524/f... The wave buoys used are open-source: github.com/gauteh/sfy (pre-print for more on the buoys: arxiv.org/abs/2401.02286). 🧪🌊

Have you ever needed to know whether you are in the ocean or on land? And you need to know it fast? And you need to know it without using too much memory or too much disk? Then try the Roaring Landmask! Roaring Landmask is a #python and #rust package written for OpenDrift (opendrift.github.io).

Last week we tried to measure the wave propagation at Nazaré in Portugal. An enormous underwater canyon bends the waves towards the north (right) where the waves become steeper and taller! In collaboration with Colab+Atlantic. #waves #nazare #surf
