Among all the eye-popping numbers in the December summary linked below, it's also the first public appearance of this annual weather/climate visualization which I am quite fond of.

But! See that gap between the red and blue lines? While we can quibble over where exactly the blue line should be, closing the gap to the blue line is what NOAA Research (plus that from NSF, NASA, and DOE) is working to do — directly reducing death, injury, and property damage… (1/2)
I always come back to this image from NCAR when seeking to introduce the idea that predictability is a function of the scale of the event. Individual thunderstorms have low practical and inherent predictability; we simply cannot *reliably* predict when and where they will occur beyond a few hours.

"Imagine the auto industry without 3D printing. NSF funded that. Artificial intelligence? NSF. MRI machines that help doctors diagnose you? NSF. Doppler radar technology that makes aviation safer by conquering wind shear? NSF. Duolingo‘s underlying programming? NSF. The internet itself? NSF."
The National Science Foundation was established 75 years ago this week, but as Professor Scott L. Greer writes in this commentary, it’s “been a bit of a rough birthday party.”
