Pressure works. Three days ago, I joined lawmakers pressuring the White House to stop its plan to dismantle a $368 million ocean monitoring system that is CRITICAL to understanding climate change and marine ecosystems, including right here off the coast of Oregon. Today, Trump backed down.

Today’s post focuses on weather in the Plains. High winds and fire danger there. Additionally, we take a look at the failure of Colorado River negotiations this weekend. This is a big deal, and we have a bevy of links to primary sources that explain this issue. Details below or at theeyewall.com.

Last December, weather and climate scientists sat down with us to tell us why they loved the National Center for Atmospheric Research, and why it benefits us all. Last night, the NSF began dismantling it. Listen to what they have to say, and why it's urgent that we #SaveNCAR wclivestream.com/act

AGU has an easy-to-use toolkit set for public feedback to proposed government actions. Now is a great time to respond to NSF’s proposed shuttering of NCAR. agu.quorum.us/campaign/154...

Share your comments on NCAR with NSF

Tell NSF the future that you want for NCAR by 13 March

agu.quorum.us

We knew the NSF letter about NCAR would come. I think this is an occasion that will require great coordination and strategical thinking. UCAR should respond as a block, coordinating a response across universities (especially in the South, and large public universities that use NCAR data a lot)

I would strongly encourage those who value the scientific & societal legacies of NCAR to offer feedback by March 13. I would expect, under present circumstances, perspectives from industry partners will be especially critical, though everyone's voice is of course important.

#savencar So much American science passes through ncar. Some of my closest collaborators and smartest colleagues are at NCAR.

Chris Piecuch shows how the rate of sea-level rise along the US coast has doubled since 1900, from 2 cm to 4 cm per decade. It has risen by 40 cm by now. Here he briefly explains this (and how the DOE claimed the opposite) at the AGU25 meeting last week. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fI0K...

🌊🦠#FieldworkFriday Our fieldwork doesn't only happen at sea! C-CoMP researchers working with @maratimes.bsky.social collected Providence River water to test extraction methods for samples collected on C-CoMP cruises. In terms of filtering speed, 5 L of Sargasso sw = 50 mL of Providence River water!

Earth scientists know a lot more about getting out of an ice age than going into one. We report an episode of AMOC slowdown at 115 thousand years ago that's likely astronomically forced (via sea-ice) and coincides with a delayed drawdown of atmospheric CO2 @natcomms.nature.com rdcu.be/eALD1
