🌍🌐 The 3rd ECMWF Destination Earth (DestinE) Annual Meeting in Bologna has come to a close. Thank you to all participants that came together from all over Europe. This event once again showcased the great spirit of European collaboration, advancing this ambitious initiative of the EU. #DestinE

Wow. Check this out. Politicians actually trying to solve problems can achieve a lot! www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solu...

Huge algal bloom on the #Baltic Sea! The #Copernicus #Sentinel2 image, colliected on July 21st shows an enormous swirling algal bloom on the eastern part of swedisch islands, during the longest #heatwave ever for #Scandinavia.

Awful. More horrible science news "The NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC) learned yesterday that the Department of Defense (DoD) will stop processing & delivering the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) data no later than 30 June 2025."

This ship braved the Greenland Sea in winter, venturing into ice-covered waters to capture crucial data about the Earth's future https://go.nature.com/4ebFOGj

What happens in the Arctic doesn't stay in the Arctic. It affects us all. The Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP) has released their Summary Arctic Climate Change Update. Read it: www.amap.no/documents/do... Nobody can later say they weren't warned, again and again.

Potentially no updates to sea ice indices coming from the US for a while... this is horribly damaging to global climate science. Yes, there are EU and Japanese alternatives to some of these, but multi-dataset inter-comparisons are a critical part of assessing reliability and confidence in the data.

Anyone else at the ESA LPS25 / DestinE UE#4 in Vienna planning to go to the TV on the Radio concert on June 25? Just by chance? ;)

More than art, a data story. The #ESOTC2024 cover art shows a mountainscape based on ERA5 data from 1975-2024, depicting annual and decadal temperature anomalies in Europe. Sun and clouds convey contrasting east-west climate conditions of 2024 in Europe. Full report: bit.ly/3G9MdEX

🌡️2024 set a new record as Europe's warmest year, with central, eastern and southeastern regions—totalling almost half of Europe—reporting record-high temps. 85% of Europe was warmer than average. Get the details and analysis in the #ESOTC2024 report. 👉 bit.ly/427BzqJ #C3S @wmo-global.bsky.social

If you are into Arctic sea ice thermodynamics, here is our new dataset of 82 CRREL ice mass balance buoys deployed in 1997–2024 with estimates of snow and ice thickness and their interface evolution: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15096485

🚨 It's official - 2025 likely observed the lowest annual maximum #Arctic sea ice extent on record! Climate change is reshaping the Arctic, all throughout the year. For more information from @nsidc.bsky.social: nsidc.org/sea-ice-toda...

Go go go! 11000 Wissenschaftler:innen aus DE, sehr stark! Vielleicht an der Zeit für @taz.de, @derfreitag.bsky.social, @zeit.de, @deutschlandfunk.de.web.brid.gy und co. das Ganze mal aufzugreifen.

Very nice new tool from @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social. Certainly quite some room for further additions/improvements, but still great to easily share some basic ERA5 stats in no time.

Hey fellow Germany-based scientists! There‘s an open letter from @de.scientists4future.org that you can sign until tomorrow 10am: www.bayceer.uni-bayreuth.de/s4f/de/top/o...

"What ever it takes" sollte sich unbedingt auch auf den Ausstieg aus der Nutzung fossiler Energieträger beziehen. Seit 1991 haben wir für über 1800 Mrd. € Erdöl, Erdgas und Kohle importiert und uns mit den Zahlungen überhaupt erst in die heutige dramatische Lage gebracht.

„Als die Ampel-Koalition sich letzten Winter aufgelöst hat, hab ich auf meinem Insta-Kanal gefragt, welche Themen euch im anstehenden Wahlkampf besonders am Herzen liegen – und die meistgenannte Antwort waren Klima und Umwelt.“ Danke, #EvaSchulz www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/deut...

Astonishing sea ice dynamics north of Greenland at the moment. One of the few occasions (2003, 2011, 2013 and 2018 in the last 25 yrs) of large polynyas opening up in that region during winter. One to watch!

Situation in Northern #Greenland is very like February 2018 right now. Looks like we'll see a reopening of the North Greenland polynya again. Extremely warm for the time of year at @dmidk.bsky.social 's weather station on the most northerly tip of Greenland #KapMorrisJesup

The waters surrounding sea ice in the #Arctic remained warmer than average across nearly all areas in December. Some of the largest anomalies were found across the southern Barents Sea region. Data: NOAA OISSTv2.1 (www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/opt...) 🌊

German reporter shouts: "How long are you going to stick with this shit?" I feel him.

Alice Weidel nennt Universitäten "queer-woke Kaderschmieden" und sagt: "Wir schließen alle Gender Studies und schmeißen alle diese Professoren raus". Die Naturwissenschafts-Community muss sich hier klar auf die Seite der Geistes- & Sozialwissenschaft stellen. Das ist ein Angriff auf alle. (Thread)

Great and scary visualization! While unfortunately well on track to plow through the 1.5°C target, average global warming sits around 1.2°C. And we already see wildfires in January, flood-inducing rain around the world, droughts…well below 1.5 or even 2°C!
