Greetings all,
This month’s newsletter is devoted to ocean indices aiming at a better understanding of the state of the ocean climate. Ocean
climate indices can be linked to major patterns of climate variability and usually have a significant social impact. The estimation of
the ocean climate indices along with their uncertainty is thus crucial: It gives an indication of our ability to measure the ocean. It is
as well a useful tool for decision making. Ocean climate indices also provide an at-a-glance overview of the state of the ocean
climate, and a way to talk to a wider audience about the ocean observing system. Several groups of experts are now working on
various ocean indicators using ocean forecast models, satellite data and reanalysis models in observing system simulation
experiments, among which the OOPC, NOAA and MERSEA/Boss4Gmes communities for example:

http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/phod/cyclone/data/method.html
http://www.mersea.eu.org/Indicators-with-B4G.html
Scientific articles about Ocean indices in the present Newsletter are displayed as follows: The first article by Von Schuckmann et
al. is dealing with the estimation of global ocean indicators from a gridded hydrographic field. Then, Crosnier et al. are describing
the need to conduct intercomparison of model analyses and forecast in order for experts to provide a reliable scientific expertise
on ocean climate indicators. The next article by Coppini et al. is telling us about ocean indices computed from the Mediterranean
Forecasting System for the European Environment Agency and Boss4Gmes. Then Buarque et al. are revisiting the Tropical
Cyclone Heat Potential Index in order to better represent the ocean heat content that interacts with Hurricane. The last article by Greiner et al. is dealing with the assessment of robust ocean indicators and gives an example with oceanic predictors for the
Sahel precipitations.
The next July 2009 newsletter will review the current work on data assimilation and its techniques and progress for operational
oceanography.
We wish you a pleasant reading.

Landslides of any type, and particularly soil slips, pose a great threat in mountainous and steep terrain environ- ments. One of the major triggering mechanisms for slope failures in shallow soils is the build-up of soil pore water pressure resulting in a decrease of effective stress. However, infiltration may have other effects both before and after slope failure. Especially, on steep slopes in shallow soils, soil slips can be triggered by a rapid drop in the apparent cohesion following a decrease in matric suction when a wetting front penetrates into the soil without generating positive pore pressures. These types of failures are very frequent in pre-alpine and alpine landscapes. The key factor for a realistic prediction of rainfall-induced landslides are the interdependence of shear strength and suction and the monitoring of suction changes during the cyclic wetting (due to infiltration) and drying (due to percolation and evaporation) processes. The non-unique relationship between suction and water content, expressed by the Soil Water Retention Curve, results in different values of suction and, therefore, of soil shear strength for the same water content, depending on whether the soil is being wetted (during storms) or dried (during inter-storm periods). We developed a physically based distributed in space and continuous in time model for the simulation of the hydrological triggering of shallow landslides at scales larger than a single slope. In this modeling effort particular weight is given to the modeling of hydrological processes in order to investigate the role of hydrologi- cal triggering mechanisms on soil changes leading to slip occurrences. Specifically, the 3D flow of water and the resulting water balance in the unsaturated and saturated zone is modeled using a Cellular Automata framework. The infinite slope analysis is coupled to the hydrological component of the model for the computation of slope stability. For the computation of the Factor of Safety a unified concept for effective stress under both saturated and unsaturated conditions has been used (Lu Ning and Godt Jonathan, WRR, 2010). A test case of a serious landslide event in Switzerland is investigated to assess the plausibility of the model and to verify its perfomance.

Editorial – October 2011 – Three of the MyOcean long time series reanalysis products
Greengs all,
This month’s newsleer is devoted to three of the MyOcean long me series Reanalysis products: the In Situ temperature and salinity CORA reanalysis
(1990 to 2010), the reanalysis of the North Atlanc ocean biogeochemistry (1998-2007) and the Arcc Ocean sea-ice dri/ reanalysis (1992-
2010).
The first product described here is the In Situ temperature and salinity CORA reanalysis (1990 to 2010). A new version of the comprehensive and
qualified ocean in-situ dataset (the Coriolis dataset for Re-Analysis - CORA) is released for the period 1990 to 2010. This in-situ dataset of temperature
and salinity profiles, from different data types (Argo, GTS data, VOS ships, NODC historical data...) on the global scale, is meant to be used for
general oceanographic research purposes, for ocean model validaon, and also for inializaon or assimilaon of ocean models. This product is
available from the MyOcean web portal (hp://www.myocean.eu/).
The second product is the reanalysis of the North Atlanc ocean biogeochemistry (1998-2007). A system assimilang Ocean Colour SeaWiFS data
during the period 1998-2007 has been designed to construct a reanalysis of the North Atlanc ocean biogeochemistry based on a coupled physicalbiogeochemical
model at eddy-admi:ng resoluon. The aim of this study is, on the one hand to develop the skeleton of a pre-operaonal coupled
physical-biogeochemical system with real-me assimilave/forecasng capability, and on the other hand to operate this prototype system for producing
a biogeochemical reanalysis covering the 1998-2007 period. This product is not available from the MyOcean web portal yet.
The third reanalysis product is the 1992-2010 winter Arcc Ocean sea ice dri/ me series made at Ifremer/CERSAT from satellite measurements
which consists of several products: the Level 3 products from single sensors and the L4 products from the combinaon of sensors. They are available
at 3, 6 and 30 day-lag with a 62.5 km-grid size during winter. This dataset is available for oceanic and climate modelling as well as various scienfic
studies in the Arcc. The me series is ongoing and will connue for Arcc long term monitoring using the next MetOp/ASCAT operaonal
scaerometers, planned to be operated for the next 10 years. This product is available from the MyOcean web portal (hp://www.myocean.eu/).
The next January 2012 issue will be dedicated to various applicaons using the Mercator Ocean products.
We wish you a pleasant reading!

Climate science part 3 - climate models and predicted climate changeLPE Learning Center
Many lines of evidence, from ice cores to marine deposits, indicate that Earth’s temperature, sea level, and distribution of plant and animal species have varied substantially throughout history. Ice cores from Antarctica suggest that over the past 400,000 years global temperature has varied as much as 10 degrees Celsius through ice ages and periods warmer than today. Before human influence, natural factors (such as the pattern of earth’s orbit and changes in ocean currents) are believed to be responsible for climate changes.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

10. Internal vs. external influences
How much did internal decadal variability contribute
to the warming during the recent decades?
WCC-3, Geneva, 31 Aug-4 Sep 2009
11. Decadal variations in the
North Atlantic Oscillation
How much of the decadal NAO variability is forced by
changes in the boundary conditions?
WCC-3, Geneva, 31 Aug-4 Sep 2009
12. Decadal North Atlantic sea surface
temperature variations
North Atlantic SST
o o
(70 W - 0, 0 - 60 N)
Changes in hurricane activity and Sahel rain, for
instance, can be traced back to variations in Atlantic
sea surface temperature (SST)

14. Potential predictability of
surface air temperature (SAT)
Derived from control integrations with climate models
North Atlantic SST
Boer 2004
Knight et al. 2005
The North Atlantic Sector appears to be one of the
promising regions

15. Predictability of the Meridional
Overturning Circulation (MOC)
Hurrell et al. 2009
The MOC is predicable at a lead of one to two decades
in perfect model studies
WCC-3, Geneva, 31 Aug-4 Sep 2009
16. Unpredictable external influences
Solar constant 1976-2008
?
Strong volcanic eruptions, for instance, can cause global
cooling of about 0,2°C for a few years and persist even
longer in the ocean heat content. If they happen, we can
exploit their long-lasting climatic effects.

19. Climate observing system
Example: ocean observing system
Multi-national Argo fleet
We need climate observations to
initialize the models to forecast
variations up to decadal time
scales
WCC-3, Geneva, 31 Aug-4 Sep 2009
20. Model biases are large
Typical bias in surface air temperature (SAT)
ensemble mean
error
IPCC 2007
Errors of several degrees C in some regions

21. Gulfstream SST front
Represention of small-scale processes
WCC-3, Geneva, 31 Aug-4 Sep 2009
22. Resolution matters
Minobe et al. 2008
The AGCM has T239 horizontal resolution (~50 km) and 48 levels
Compared to the smoothed SST run, rain-bearing low
pressure systems tend to develop along the Gulf Stream
front in the control simulation
WCC-3, Geneva, 31 Aug-4 Sep 2009
23. Where are we today?
• A decadal predictability potential for a number
of societal relevant quantities is well
established.
• We need a better understanding of the
mechanisms of decadal variability
• We need a suitable climate observing system
(ocean, land surface, sea ice...)
• We need „good“ models! We know from NWP
that reduction of systematic bias helps. Biases
in climate models are still large
WCC-3, Geneva, 31 Aug-4 Sep 2009
24. To realize the full decadal
predictability potential we need
a coordinated scientific
programme under the auspices
of the World Climate Research
Programme (WCRP)
