Distant Oceans May Help Predict Malaria Risk in Malawi - Eos

A new study finds that ocean temperatures thousands of kilometers away shape soil moisture in Malawi, offering a potential tool for forecasting malaria outbreaks months in advance.

The latest multi-model El Niño forecast just came out from the IRI and... wow. The ensemble mean of the dynamical models would basically make a tie for the all-time strongest El Niño based on the satellite (OIv2) and instrumental (HadISST) records.

I never quite appreciated the scale of Indonesia. Its length is about the same as Boston to London. And ~21% longer than Seattle to Miami.

Need a little help! Student seeking high-freq (at least daily), high-res (~10 km or less) gridded ~surface ozone & PM2.5 observations. Next best thing would be hourly station-level data of surface O3 and PM2.5 with decent spatial coverage across the globe. Anyone out there know of such a dataset?
