3 GOOD: some real approps working right for the first time in EONS, built based on need & politics, not from toplines. SHALL language on backpay 4 feds. Good anti-RIF language we’d want to see continued

2 BAD: Nothing forces Trump to actually FOLLOW the approps. A vote we could have forced already

From a crewmember on yesterday's Teal 74 mission into now-Category 5 Hurricane #Melissa. As clear of an eye as you will see in the Atlantic basin.

From sunrise to sunset, Hurricane Melissa is still a Category 5 storm as it starts to move northward towards Jamaica.

Grid scale batteries are changing our electricity system. Excellent new visual story on batteries in FT today shows just how far this technology has evolved.

Fasten your seatbelts, this is just the beginning.

Cropland area nearly doubled in South America between 2000 and 2019 - the largest relative increase in the world. Soybean production replaced rainforests, grasslands & savannas. earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/14962... As China refuses U.S. soybeans, this puts more pressure on natural ecosystems.

Grasslands, savannas, and dry forests have become popular places to grow soy.

Deterministic GFS seems to be trending ahead of Euro for Humberto and tropical depression 9. Interested to see what happens with this complex forecast

I’m not upset with passing in that spot. Could have gone either way at the end. Just heartbroken for the team. #PSU.

I’m proud to say that @noaa.gov and NCEI has released a 1 year retrospective on #Helene using ESRI Story Maps.

Here is a brief thread of how this came to be and how NOAA can still do good things (even while wearing pajamas).

How fast was Hurricane Erin's intensification rate vs. past Atlantic storms?

It wasn't record shattering - but still in the uppermost ranks of Atlantic hurricanes, especially over a 6-hour period:

While the NHC's track forecast errors for #Erin have been right around average, the intensity errors are just brutal. Erin was slow to develop when it was forecast to develop, and then explosively intensified when it was forecast to "only" rapidly intensify.
