Targeted Experiment to Reconcile Increased Freshwater with Increased Convection (TERIFIC) project

The project ended in 2023; its projects.noc.ac.uk/terific website is no longer available.

TERIFIC aimed to identify processes and timescales by which freshwater from northern high latitudes can reach and influence deep convection. Direct, seasonally-resolving observations of convective processes under the influence of surface forcing will be used to test the relative importance of different processes at determining convective intensity, and will form a benchmark for numerical simulations.br>
