Proud of our CCRC and @21stcenturyweather.bsky.social scientist team in Paris this week at the IPCC AR7 Lead Author meeting: @jasonpevans.bsky.social @melissatraveler.bsky.social, @sarahinscience.bsky.social, @juliearblaster.bsky.social, @nicolamaher.bsky.social & Jo Brown! Big things coming for AR7

It's great to be part of this historic event. This is just the start of the process to produce the next round of assessment reports to guide action on climate change.
Honoured to open @ipcc.bsky.social's first Lead Author Meeting for AR7 in Paris today. Congratulations to 600+ authors on their appointments—this marks the beginning of our scientific assessment. Thank you to France for generously hosting this historic meeting.

We just published a paper that shows including lateral flow of soil moisture matters for climate once you get down to km-scale modelling of the land surface. More and more of our work is at these scales so we need to start including processes like this. 🧪

The influence of lateral flow on land surface fluxes in southeast Australia varies with model resolution
Abstract. Land surface models (LSMs) used in climate models typically represent surface hydrology as one-dimensional vertical fluxes, neglecting the lateral movement of water within and between grids....

The work shows that atmospheric environmental factors linked to extreme wind gusts are different to those that link to strong wind gusts. 🧪
