Baroclinic instabilities / Hadley cell circulation in a tank

August 23, 2019

The DIYnamics-inspired turntable that Torge and myself have been working on for our “dry theory to juicy reality” project is finally working well! This is what the setup now looks…

Combining rotation of a water tank with a temperature gradient: A Hadley cell circulation demo!

August 15, 2019

Yesterday, we combined a thermally-driven overturning circulation with the effects of rotation, and thus created a Hadley cell circulation. And while the tank was turning faster than we would have…

Hadley cell circulation – slow rotation

August 28, 2014

In order to not be in the eddying regime, this time we are rotating our tank as slowly as possible. Since we ran the Hadley cell experiment the other day,…

Hadley cell experiment

August 25, 2014

Cooling and rotation combined. (deutscher Text unten) I can’t believe I haven’t blogged about this experiment before now! Pierre and I have conducted it a number of times, but somehow…

Why should students want engage in something that changes their identity as well as their view of themselves in relation to friends and family?

May 31, 2021

Another iEarth Teaching Conversation with Kjersti Daae and Torgny Roxå, summarized by Mirjam Glessmer “Transformative experiences” (Pugh et al., 2010) are those experiences that change the way a person looks at…

A common misconception in rotating tank experiments, and one way of maybe not reinforcing it

June 5, 2020

A very common misconception when looking at atmosphere & ocean dynamics in a rotating tank is that the center of the tank represents one of the poles and the edge…

Thermal forcing vs rotation

May 23, 2020

The first experiment we ever ran with our DIYnamics rotating tank was using a cold beer bottle in the center of a rotating tank full or lukewarm water. This experiment is…

Rotating (DIYnamics) kitchen oceanography experiments

May 18, 2020

Rotating (DIYnamics) kitchen oceanography experiments On this page I’m sharing a bunch of videos that I did in my kitchen, using the DIYnamics setup for a rotating table. I recorded…

Rotating tank experiments on a cone

November 29, 2019

I had so much fun playing with rotating tank experiments on a cone this afternoon! And with Torge Martin (who I have the awesome #DryTheory2JuicyReality project with) and Rolf Käse…

Combining a slowly rotating water tank with a temperature gradient: A thermal wind demonstration!

August 14, 2019

Setting up an overturning circulation in a tank is easy, and also interpreting the observations is fairly straightforward. Just by introducing cooling on one side of a rectangular tank a…

Funded! “Ocean currents in a tank: from dry theory to juicy reality”

July 9, 2019

Remember how Joke, Torge and I were working on building an affordable, home-made rotating tank to use in ocean dynamics teaching only last weekend? That session was inspired by a proposal that…

Working on our own affordable rotating table for oceanographic experiments!

July 6, 2019

Inspired by the article “Affordable Rotating Fluid Demonstrations for Geoscience Education: the DIYnamics Project” by the Hill et al. (2018), Joke, Torge and I have been wanting to build an affordable…

Thermal forcing in a non-rotating vs rotating case: Totally different results

November 23, 2019

On Thursday, I wrote about the thermally driven overturning circulation experiment that Torge and I did as past of our “dry theory 2 juicy reality” experiments, and mentioned that it…

My first attempt at building a rotating table for kitchen oceanography using LEGO

January 27, 2019

Inspired by the article “Affordable Rotating Fluid Demonstrations for Geoscience Education: the DIYnamics Project” by the Hill et al. (2018), I spent a fun Sunday afternoon with my friends Joke and…
