Congratulations Kai, for leading this effort connecting how the stratosphere and #QBO influences #AtmosphericRivers. A great step in understanding sources of #predictability for these weather features!
🙌Our new paper is out! We find significant stratospheric Quasibiennial Oscillation influences on the global atmospheric river activities around the year. Wanna see more details and find out why? Go check our paper here: https://t.co/Pk3khu3Rdb.

A storm will bring rain and high-elevation snow to Southern CA this weekend into early next week. Higher-intensity rainfall in thunderstorms could lead to localized flash flooding and debris flows in recent burn scars. See our latest quick look for more information:

TERI and UCAR (@UCAR_News) organized a side event ‘Global Risk Resilience Discourse and Adaptation’ at COP29 in Baku today. The event brought together scientists and policy makers to reflect on the adequacy of the scope and strategies that have emerged from the negotiation

Two data points to ponder: —New York + Philly both just had the driest month in their 150-year-plus weather histories. —The U.S. is having its warmest autumn on record by far. The past 2 mos are nearly 1F above any other Sep-Oct on record. https://t.co/lNsppQbFIj

New York and Philadelphia saw their driest month ever in official data, and autumn so far is the warmest in 48-state history.

1.5-3°C of #GlobalWarming may not sound like a big deal. But for perspective: the difference between recent temperatures & last glacial period (when there were glaciers thousands of feet thick in areas now home to Chicago & New York) is only around ~6°C. [Full link below.]

We find that using an eddy-resolving ocean coupled to a high resolution atmosphere, #atmosphericrivers significantly influence upper ocean processes, and the nature of these #impacts change as the #climate warms.

Warren was such a giant in the field, not only as a scientist but as a human being. We will be sorely missed.
Sad word is spreading from Boulder that the pioneering NCAR climate scientist and Medal of Science laureate Warren Washington has passed from this Earth he studied and cherished with such vigor for so long. More soon but listen to @DrShepherd2013 below for just a little of Dr
