With the start of the Atlantic hurricane season and the release of CloudDrift v0.45.0 (lnkd.in/g8864hXD), I want to highlight the hurricane and cyclone datasets already accessible with CloudDrift.

The day that @CopernicusEU Climate change service announces that 2024 was 1.6 C on average, and LA is on fire, The Daily podcast features an advertisement by the American petroleum Institute (or similar) promoting the burning of more fossil fuels. Well done @nytimes.com

Hey oceanographers! Are you sometimes getting confused when you read or write about errors, uncertainty, biases and the likes? No worries, we got you, the @usclivar.bsky.social #OceanUQ working group has produced a handy #glossary, check it out at oceanuq.org/learn/glossary

Kind of a big deal, no?

DeepMind AI weather forecaster beats world-class system

Artificial-intelligence model provides forecasts 15 days out, as well as the probability of accuracy. And it does so faster than the best operational model.

−0.8 ± 0.7 Sv per decade is what the authors call marginal significance. I would too.

In the end, the Gulf Stream is *not* slowing down and the #AMOC ... just marginally. That's fascinating and relevant for climate modeling and the current and future needs for ocean observing!

The x axis is day of year of formation? Then do you count a single storm several times as it changes classification?
