Insane 75F also at Rosebud South Dakota, located at nearly 3000ft above sea level. this is a plain SUMMER temperature. 73F also in Wyoming at Torrington. Over 20 states and hundreds of stations have broken Dec heat records vs. 0 monthly cold records.

At an @agu.org Town Hall today, @ncar-ucar.bsky.social President Antonio Busalacchi spoke to #AGU25 attendees about what's at stake if NCAR is dismantled. One attendee asked anyone who uses NCAR research to stand up. Almost everyone in the room stood. Read more here: eos.org/research-and...

Awesome turnout in support of @ncar-ucar.bsky.social at #AGU25. Take a look at how many people use our products!

#AGU25 folks, there is a rapid- response town hall TODAY on the #NCAR dismantling at 1 pm, La Nouvelle Orleans ballroom C (per an AGU media advisory)

The administration of US President Donald Trump intends to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), a world-leading Earth-science centre in Boulder, Colorado. go.nature.com/4pjzUqB

We are thrilled and proud to share that AOS prof Ángel F. Adames Corraliza has been named a 2025 MacArthur Fellow! Congrats, Ángel! The department is ecstatic for you. In addition to the MacArthur announcement linked below, check out the UW–Madison news release here: go.wisc.edu/r0ff84

*preprint* Chengxiang Lou asked symbolic regression can find indices that predict alfalfa biomass from hyperspectral measurements. It can, but they tended to be complex & simpler equations had similar performance. W/Zhou Zhang, David Montero Loaiza & José Franco doi.org/10.22541/ess...

Modeling ozone deposition through plant stomata is tricky because simulating water limitation is a challenge, and O3 itself impacts stomatal functioning. Anam Khan and others demonstrate the key roles of soil moisture and VPD on stomatal ozone dry deposition models acp.copernicus.org/articles/25/...

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

This is twice as money much as the Department of Energy spends on solar power R&D. We could have more solar power but instead we’re paying to build detention camps.

After a quiet period, we are very happy to finally join Bluesky!🦋. This is the official account of the #Climate Division of the @egu.eu Follow us to stay up to date with Division news, blog posts, Campfires, ways to get involved, and more!😊 We are also on LinkedIn🎉 Come say hello! #EGU

Most of northern Wisconsin is under a Level 2/4 risk for flash flooding and a Level 2/5 risk for severe thunderstorms today. Widespread 1-2" rain totals are expected, but some areas in the flood watch could see 2-4" of rain, in addition to gusty winds and small hail!

Contiguous U.S. dew point climate stripes. It's getting wetter.

OK so hear us out. 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: doi.org/10.1111/pce....

Funding for hydrological science is critical for developing strategies for efficient water use. With MT Wheat & Barley Committee, NSF, @noaa.gov, Montana St. U. & UW-Madison support, Ojaswee Shrestha & others calculate crop coefficients for MT wheat & barley www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants. Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Cannot overstate how amazing @noaa.gov satellites are. In RSE, Losos & team use GOES-R, ML & @ameriflux.bsky.social EC data to estimate ecosystem carbon dioxide uptake in near-real time, "ALIVE". www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @profdesai.bsky.social @earthmover.io @youngryel.bsky.social

Today is the last day of Wisconsin Severe Weather Awareness Week and the 60th Anniversary of the Palm Sunday Tornado Outbreak. A few tornadoes touched down in Wisconsin, a small part of the worst tornado outbreak in the Great Lakes region. Learn more: storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/c271...
