"The #climate we live in today is the least extreme climate you will experience in your lifetimes because of ongoing fossil fuel emissions."

The missing words in the climate conversation are not human-caused climate change, but fossil fuel emissions. By Hayley Fowler and myself: theconversation.com/was-this-hea...

We are currently advertising for a two-year postdoc post as part of our @leverhulme.ac.uk-funded Seeing the Unseen project. Deadline is the 11th of August, and ideally we're aiming for a start date in late September. Please contact me if you'd like further details. www.bath.ac.uk/jobs/Vacancy...

Who else out there is working on data-driven or AI climate models?

Looking at the recent #ECMWF forecast of zonal mean zonal wind at 10°N and 10 hPa #PolarVortex, it seems that the split #SSW was seen by the model initialised on Feb 23, literally 10 days before it is happening. This corresponds to the current skill of subseasonal to seasonal #S2S forecast systems

🚀A plume of pollutants in the upper atmosphere above Germany is identified using lidar observations of Li concentrations and can be traced back to the uncontrolled re-entry of a specific rocket launch through atmospheric modelling.🧪 👉Read more here: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

🚨New preprint alert!🚨 Was the strengthening of the Northern polar vortex in 2024/2025 associated with the Hunga Tonga #volcano?

Important note for non-academics: you do not get tenure or promotion for pre-prints. You need published peer reviewed articles.

Does anyone know how to access the 10 hPa ECMWF forecast data? With ecmwf-opendata, it seems I can only get up to 50 hPa. Thanks!

We are currently advertising a four-year fully-funded* PhD project on if we can use stratospheric waves to predict hurricanes and typhoons earlier. If you or someone you know would be interested in this, please get in touch! www.findaphd.com/phds/project... * for UK students only, unfortunately

Thanks to ABC TV News Channel for the chat about the stratosphere, sudden warmings, and the weather to come!

Each degree of warmer weather leads to more added sugar consumption for the average adult male in the U.S. Climate change will intensify the issue.

A new analysis shows warmer weather may drive more added sugar consumption, particularly among already-vulnerable groups.

A greater awareness and scrutiny of the upper atmosphere is a must to inform on impacts and future regulation of satellite reentry. Let’s hope upcoming missions like the European www.cairt.eu and similar US missions go forward.

New CIRES research suggests that by 2040, satellites re-entering Earth's atmosphere could release enough alumina to alter wind speeds and temperatures at the poles and impact Earth’s climate in ways scientists don’t fully understand. @noaa.gov @colorado.edu Read the story: buff.ly/TMrX6Ji
