Description
Ocean climate modelling can now resolve geostrophic turbulence rather than merely parametrize it. With this step the ocean has taken the stage as a genuinely turbulent fluid - a remarkable achievement that also marks the end of the "geostrophic era." That ending is equally a beginning, and one that falls in line with the technological shift toward GPU and AI computing. This talk describes new computational approaches to ocean modelling, new experimental strategies and reflects on how machine learning can be integrated into this endeavour.
