We just published a paper that shows including lateral flow of soil moisture matters for climate once you get down to km-scale modelling of the land surface. More and more of our work is at these scales so we need to start including processes like this. 🧪 hess.copernicus.org/articles/29/...

The influence of lateral flow on land surface fluxes in southeast Australia varies with model resolution

Abstract. Land surface models (LSMs) used in climate models typically represent surface hydrology as one-dimensional vertical fluxes, neglecting the lateral movement of water within and between grids....

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow. The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

New research finds that spring runoff consists of more "old" water than new snowmelt, whereas "new" snowmelt infiltrates to replace previously stored water. Forests likely depend on groundwater that has been stored for multiple years. Funded by Natl Science Foundation www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Groundwater dominates snowmelt runoff and controls streamflow efficiency in the western United States - Communications Earth & Environment

Snowmelt runoff in the western US is composed primarily of older groundwater, with precipitation taking 5.7 years on average to exit as streamflow, indicating that annual streamflow is a function of m...

Sharing as a member of AGU's pubs committee: AGU is joining a lawsuit in support of federal workers. They need stories/examples of how loss of federal jobs is affecting society. Please share this request with your colleagues & communities. Deadline is this week.💧🧪🌲 forms.monday.com/forms/f553b2...

AGU joins suit supporting fired federal employees

The case brought by federal employee unions and nonprofit organizations asserts that OPM’s directive to fire probationary employees at the National Science Foundation and other agencies was illegal.

I have written a short statement responding to mass firings today of #NOAA / National Weather Service (#NWS) staff (which were concentrated among recent hires as well as highly experienced staff who had recently been promoted). Please see below screenshot & below for full text.

Statement begins: The mass firing of both new hires and recently promoted senior staff within NOAA, including mission-critical and life-saving roles at the National Weather Service (NWS), is profoundly alarming. It appears that NOAA staff fired today include meteorologists, data and computer scientists responsible for maintaining and upgrading weather predictive models, and technicians responsible for maintaining the nation’s weather instrumentation network (among many others). Housed within NOAA, the U.S. NWS is a truly world-class meteorological predictive service, perhaps singularly so. Its cost of operation is only ~$3-4/yr per taxpayer—equivalent to a single cup of coffee—and yields a truly remarkable return on investment (at least 10 to 1, and perhaps 100 to 1, depending on methods of estimation). NOAA and the NWS collectively offer tens to hundreds of billions of dollars each year in net economic benefit through a combination of averted losses and efficiencies gained....

If anyone wonders what the terms "AI" or "ML" have meant historically in computer science, this image is a great summary. 👇 Missing from this image is more specific terms like "LLM". That's a smaller area inside of the "Deep Learning" bubble. And "GPT" is even smaller inside of "LLM".

Randy Chase@dopplerchase.bsky.social · 2y ago

Image from journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal.... All ML are AI but not all AI are ML. All the methods used for the data driven weather models can be lumped in as deep learning. So they are all ML and AI. I usually call them AI4NWP models
