Doing experiments like the ones we’ve been doing here is super helpful to let students of ocean and atmosphere sciences find a different way to approach highly theoretical rotating fluid dynamics. But the experiments are pretty and are raising curiosity not only in students, but in most people that see them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To share them with a wider audience, we will be partnering with Kiel University’s Instagram profile @kieluni<\/a> in January. We will take over @kieluni<\/a> for 4 days and present different experiments in a way that is both easy to understand and (hopefully!) entertaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A super cool example of a popular science video using tank experiments I (Mirjam) did at the Geophysical Institute in Bergen is shown below. If something like this doesn’t get people interested in ocean physics, I don’t know what will… \ud83d\ude42 Check it out, what do you think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
