Mercator Ocean International’s Post

The first Marine Heatwave Bulletin of the year is off now 🗞️ The European North Atlantic keeps experiencing marine heatwaves along the entire coast with moderate to locally strong intensities. For tomorrow, the #MercatorOcean International forecasting system predicts that these heatwaves will persist along the coasts of France, Spain and Portugal, potentially reaching severe levels locally.

A new Marine Heatwave Bulletin is off 🗞 Last week, in the South Pacific, the marine heatwave east of New Zealand has been easing with mostly moderate categories. However, for this week #MercatorOcean's forecasting system predicts this marine heatwave to intensify, with areas passing from moderate to strong categories. Find out more ➡ https://lnkd.in/dKQnqNGj

QUESTION FOR HEAT PUMP EXPERTS Hi network! Do Air-to-Water Heat Pumps have a higher COP than Air-to-Air? if so, why? What's the thermodynamic explanation? My understanding is that it's the ambient source (air, ground, ocean) that matters and not where the heat is emitted to but not sure...

Shallow water equation in action. With wind forces from the top ... ;-)

Few important facts you must know about thermal expansion...

The cat gets it: To minimize heat loss, reduce the surface-area to volume ratio. Other pro tips: Seek microclimates that are sheltered from wind and take advantage of sun, laps and heat vents (radiant, conductive and convective heat transfer). :)

The most important number today: 7-726 Drop by for a talk about power and thermal managenent.

Windsock: The air rate, or wind speed, can be estimated using a windsock by observing its angle relative to the mast or pole it is mounted on. While windsocks don't provide precise numerical values, they offer a visual indication of wind speed. Here's a general guide: Full Extension: If the windsock is fully extended (blown straight out), it suggests a high wind speed. This could indicate strong winds, often associated with specific speed ranges (e.g., 15 knots or more). Horizontal Position: If the windsock is horizontal, it suggests a moderate wind speed. The wind is blowing, but not excessively. Drooping or Hanging Down: When the windsock is drooping or hanging down, it indicates a low wind speed. This suggests a calm or light breeze. Keep in mind that windsocks are qualitative indicators and don't provide precise measurements. For accurate wind speed data, you'd need an anemometer or a weather station that can measure wind speed in units like knots, meters per second, or miles per hour. hashtag #WindSpeedEstimation #WindSockReading #SafetyIndicators
