The extreme warmth of the North Atlantic in 2023 is largely due to a reduction in low-level cloud cover. This implies decreased atmospheric subsidence followed by a potential low-level cloud & SST positive feedback. 🌊🧪 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Got all your Ocean Science Meeting 2026 science session and Town Hall proposals submitted? I sure hope I’ll be allowed to go. Also hoping I still have a job #OSM26

Colleagues: Please sign up! Everyone: Please tune in!
I will give one of the talks, and I hope if you’ve ever been funded by a US government grant, you will do the same. Everyone else, please turn in.
Heads up on this vital 100 hour streaming marathon on the value of weather and climate expertise as National Weather Service struggles with staff shortages and reduction in service

Weather and climate research funds are being “chainsawed” from NOAA's budget. Last I checked, Louisiana & Florida, which are maximally susceptible to Hurricanes, voted Red in the last General Election.
Wondering if residents there knew in advance this would happen.

Just heard @petebuttigieg.bsky.social characterize the difference between 8 million and 8 billion as 100,000%. That’s one way.
I think most people (myself included) don’t have an intuition for orders of magnitude (e.g., the difference between millionaire and billionaire).
One way to appreciate this is time, since we all experience it. Here's the difference between a thousand, a million, and a billion seconds.

Mauna Loa Observatory’s Lease May End Because of NOAA Cuts
NOAA, the nation’s leading climate science agency, may lose dozens of offices, including one that is key to the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii.

One of the people fired from NOAA today is the director of the Ocean Acidification Program. That program also leads the U.S. government's effort on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). The destruction of American science is incomprehensible.

The U.S. has two tsunami warning centers, both operated by NOAA. Employees were terminated from these centers today. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center covers Hawaiʻi, and now it is less safe to be near the beach.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important:
Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

Been watching #Shogun on DisneyPlus @filmandseries.bsky.social written by the Australian British writer James Clavell. The @barnesandnoble.com 1997 wallchart has Japan’s timeline start in 1723. Story starts in 1600. It’s all very interesting. But I’ld love to see the Japanese perspective.
