Hoping to make this product real-time by the upcoming hurricane season. This product plots probabilities of 24-h rapid intensification out to 5 days along each GEFS ensemble track. This example shows the time progression of RI probabilities for Helene (2024) around the time it underwent RI.

@agu.org has a tool to find & contact your legislators about FY25 #science funding. It provides scripts, email text, phone numbers & sends emails.

Support Science Funding in this Pivotal Moment

Congress is setting its spending limits now--tell your legislators to support science in their appropriations bills.

🌊 Winds can make very big waves but very often nobody is there to see them in their full height. However, we do get swells radiated from these. I've just published two datasets about very big wave heights here: www.seanoe.org/data/00940/1.... www.seanoe.org/data/00942/1... next one: wave periods

All websites that depend on NOAA data should display something like this.

earth.nullschool.net

Weather and climate data shown on this website and countless others are at risk.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is the U.S. agency responsible for global weather forecasting, hurricane prediction, ocean observation, and many other services vital to public safety. Its satellites, supercomputers, and research teams provide essential data that help us understand our planet and protect lives.

On February 27, the new U.S. administration initiated mass firings at NOAA. These actions are unethical and deeply disruptive to the talented scientists and engineers who dedicate themselves to the public good. The firings, along with expected budget cuts, have serious implications for the availability and quality of weather forecasts produced by the United States. They must be reversed immediately.

Much of the data on this website is downloaded directly from NOAA's servers. In this environment of uncertainty, access could be disrupted at any time. While I'll strive to keep all features on this website functional and switch to alternative data sources if necessary, some datasets have no substitute if they go offline.

If this concerns you, speak up. Share on social media. And if you're in the U.S., contact your representatives.

🚨 #NOAA is essential for weather forecasting, climate research, and public safety.

AGU stands with the scientific community in urging Congress to protect and strengthen NOAA, not dismantle it.

Our economy, environment, and safety depend on it.

Early morning beach survey as #PTC16 (Ophelia?) rolls in - raining and getting windy, but still expecting waves to get twice this size. No pretty sunrise, so the coffee mug is an indication that it just got light at 7am!
