This study introduces ColdBlobMIP—a focused, ad hoc model intercomparison project designed to assess the atmospheric response to the observed North Atlantic Warming Hole, or cold blob. @colorado.edu @cires.colorado.edu @lamont.columbia.edu @NTUSingapore @noaa.gov@SCSIO

🌍❄️ Why is the North Atlantic “cold blob” cooling while the rest of the planet warms? 🚨A new @agu.org GRL study led by @sydkramer12.bsky.social + @oceansclimatecu.bsky.social unites 15 models, showing it shifts winds & clouds, with feedbacks that may lock in the cooling. 🔗 doi.org/10.1029/2025...

ColdBlobMIP: A Multi‐Model Assessment of the Atmospheric Response to the North Atlantic Warming Hole

ColdBlobMIP shows that the North Atlantic warming hole causes small but robust changes in surface winds, sea level pressure, and clouds Cloud feedbacks may amplify cooling, with a shortwave forci...

I am excited to share that another chapter from my PhD dissertation has been published in Climate Dynamics! This paper explores how long-term midlatitude SST anomalies can drive atmospheric circulation changes that, in turn, generate oceanic feedbacks. Check it out! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Air-sea interactions over persistent warm midlatitude SST anomalies - Climate Dynamics

In 2012, a persistent marine heatwave (MHW) along the U.S. Mid-Atlantic coastline developed, driving the majority of the observed ~ 4 °C warming in the Gulf Stream region since 1982. In this study, th...

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

News is tearing across my professional circles this afternoon. For those not involved in the weather enterprise, I need you to understand something: seansublette.substack.com/p/bloodbath-...

Bloodbath at NOAA

Special post on unconscionable firings on Thursday afternoon

seansublette.substack.com

To everyone at NOAA fired today: You are an incredible human being. You signed up to serve the public. I deeply appreciate what you've given to your team, to NOAA, to our country as a whole. Your firing is unconscionable. It runs counter to the values we stand for. And we will stand up for you.

A statement I must make:

The US pulling out of the IPCC will have zero effect on the reality of #climate change, zero effect on the science updates reported by the IPCC, and simply weaken US science and respect globally. www.axios.com/2025/02/20/u...

Scoop: U.S. delegation pulled from key U.N. climate science meeting

The IPCC meeting in China is slated to determine the content in the group's next series of reports.

People may not understand just how important federal science research funding is to the prosperity of the nation. I tried to explain it, because it's under unprecedented and direct assault.
