We're kind of excited to hear that people have been opening their kids' Halloween candy to find there are weather stations inside. Let us know if you want to learn about how to install and care for them (or you can send them to us and we'll make sure they're well taken care of)!

See you next week! 🤗 📣 Knowledge-Guided Machine Learning for Partitioning Ecosystem Water Fluxes from Flux Tower Data Speaker: Dr. Sadegh Ranjbar Date and time: Wednesday, October 8th at 1:30-2:30 PM ET (10:30-11:30 AM PST)

We mourn the passing of our Editor-in-Chief Steve Long. His vision to establish one of the first journals dedicated to Global Change over 30 years ago was truly ahead of its time. Through GCB, researchers have demonstrated that biology & ecosystems are not simply victims of..

My group at UW–Madison is hiring Postdocs + PhD students! Projects: 1️⃣ Wildfire & land–atmosphere exchanges (remote sensing + E3SM) 2️⃣ Dryland vegetation dynamics (NASA PACE hyperspectral) Details & apply: https://t.co/uLtHQ96sX8

Modeling ozone deposition through stomata is tricky because simulating water limitation is a challenge & O3 itself impacts stomatal function. Anam Khan and others demonstrate the key roles of soil moisture and VPD on stomatal ozone dry deposition models https://t.co/vIFAjYe338...

The @ametsoc BAMS State of the Climate in 2024 is now out. Things are changing rapidly as we all know, with a huge increase in 2 m equivalent temperature last year creating record near-surface atmospheric heat.

to keep science moving forward despite it all: *preprint* a knowledge-guided machine learning approach to estimate intercepted evaporation, surface evaporation, and transpiration by Sadegh Ranjbar

The US government is aiming to get rid of a quarter million people involved in science research and education by 2026. I have no words.

Announcement of the 3rd GEO Workshop from Aug 1 to 2 in Singapore ! Over this 1.5-day workshop, we’ll focus on discussions around the processing, production, validation, and application of various GEO satellites. Registration by July 12 via https://t.co/RqLr0OCPyn

CO2 in the atmospheric boundary layer varies throughout the day. A mini global change experiment. This won't dominate photosynthesis, but might not be trivial. Tang & others find it contributes about 10% to the diurnal pattern of canopy CO2 uptake:

Funding for hydrological science is critical for developing strategies for efficient water use. W/MT Wheat & Barley Committee, @NSF, @NOAA, @montanastate & @UWMadison support, Ojaswee Shrestha & others calculate crop coefficients for MT wheat & barley https://t.co/AwEZSGsf2r...

NEON Convergence Summit October 15-17, 2025 in Boulder, CO. Call for Applications Now Open! Attendance will be limited, so be sure to apply by May 31, 2025. Participant travel support will be provided by NEON.

Emeritus Professor Grace Wahba recently received the International Prize in Statistics in recognition of her groundbreaking work on smoothing splines, which transformed data analysis and machine learning. Wahba joined @UWMadisonSTATS in 1967 as its first female faculty member.

#AAPIMonth Spotlight: Ankur Desai is Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professor and Department Chair in the @UW_AOS. Ankur is also an AMS Certified Consulting Meteorologist. He’s a former AMS STAC Commissioner and currently serves on the Atmospheric Research Awards committee.

📣 Following the dismissal of authors to the sixth National Climate Assessment, AGU & @ametsoc are proud to launch a first-of-its-kind special collection on U.S. climate science. We invite manuscripts to ensure this critical work continues. 🔗 https://t.co/onqyHd59Tk #NCA

The National Climate Assessment's authors and support staff were dismissed this week. AMS and @theAGU are stepping up to continue the momentum of vital U.S. climate research and analysis with a new open-access publishing effort. Read more here: https://t.co/B30wS1ZhZK

“If you look at a long period of time, a lot of our increase in living standards seems to be coming from public investment in scientific research,” said Andrew Fieldhouse... an author of the Dallas Fed study. “The rates of return are just really high.”

More fantastic results from Sadegh Ranjbar demonstrating the unique value of @NOAASatellites for understanding the earth system. All sky (clear & cloudy, night & day) estimates of land surface temperature using ML, GOES-R & Ameriflux meas.

Federal funding cuts threaten life-saving severe weather forecasting at UW-Madison: https://t.co/3rlmiNfthq @UWCIMSS @UW_AOS @UWFedRelations

The 2026 budget passback plan calls for eliminating NOAA Research, the scientific backbone that keeps weather forecasts, alerts, and warnings accurate and effective. This would have disastrous consequences. Read the AMS statement, in partnership w/@nwas: https://t.co/QnfPd0h8Tz
