I am a highschool student participating in my region's science fair by doing a project on thermohaline currents and the effects of freshwater on specific currents and their stability/efficiency. I was recently recommended by my school's organizer to look into this software/data to use for my project. I was just curious if anyone would be able to help me (I can give more details if needed!) If not that is completely fine! > Hi Jackson, Thanks for your message to ECCO-support forum. Your project is very interesting. Actually it sounds similar to a long-history physical oceanography topic (so-called "hosing experiment" in oceanography). There are a lot of references that can help, just name a few: Sensitivity of climate response to variations in freshwater hosing location https://doi.org/10.1007/s10236-009-0189-2 Understanding AMOC stability: the North Atlantic Hosing Model Intercomparison Project https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-16-1975-2023 Revisiting climate impacts of an AMOC slowdown: dependence on freshwater locations in the North Atlantic https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.adr3243 Please let us know in detail if/how you want to use ECCO model/tools for the project. Wish you a great success in science fair! Hong
