Attention Teachers and Educators! Have the NWS visit your classroom virtually! Presentation topics include weather, climate, space weather, hydrology (rivers) & tsunamis, and are available in English and Spanish. weather.gov/education/sc... #BackToSchoolNOAA

🌍 The MMM lab at @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is running experimental realtime forecasts with a global 3.75-km MPAS model. Goal: Highlight the power of global km-scale models for weather prediction from local to planetary scales, incl. tropical cyclones. 👉 project.mmm.ucar.edu/real-time-fo...

Applications are OPEN for the Faculty Innovator Program, supporting collaborative interdisciplinary projects pairing faculty with NSF NCAR researchers. Applicants will start with the Ideas Lab workshops to co-develop proposals. Due Sept. 15. https://edec.ucar.edu/university-partnerships/innovators

Still 10 more days to join us in Boulder to cook up some great open-source geoscience Python notebooks!

Celebrating 30 years of our Community Earth System Model (CESM)! 🌍 We’re gathering input on CESM’s national and international impact through a quick survey. 📝 If you’ve used CESM data, models or support resources, your feedback is essential. The survey closes 6/19. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

A great opportunity to learn and collaborate with folks on open geoscience workflows!

Heads up on this vital 100 hour streaming marathon on the value of weather and climate expertise as National Weather Service struggles with staff shortages and reduction in service www.forbes.com/sites/marsha...

Have you ever looked at a weather map online? Or seen a nice visualization of weather forecast model output? If so, NSF Unidata almost certainly made that possible in one way or another. Modern meteorological education would not be possible without the data, tools, and resources they provide.

If you or somone you know has been impacted by federal grant funding cuts, there is a funding initiative supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Kapor and William Grant Foundations that provides modest bridge funding. Please share widely. www.spencer.org/grant_types/... #science #openscience

BREAKING: NSF has frozen all grant funding, as of yesterday. It's unclear when they will resume funding awards, or why the pause has been put in place. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

🔔 Slides & recordings from the 2025 Improving Scientific Software Conference are now available within the online conference program: sea.ucar.edu/iss/2025-pro... Thanks to all who joined us—see you in 2026! #ISS2025 #ScientificSoftware

✨The 2025 NSF Unidata Community Survey is now live! ✨ Share your insights, support community progress. Take 15 minutes to complete the survey, and as a thank you, you'll have the chance to enter a drawing for an NSF Unidata swag bag. 🔗 arcg.is/zLOSW #PoweredByUnidata

📢 We're looking for reviewers for the #SciPy2025 Proceedings! 🚀 🙋‍♀️ If you're interested or want to nominate someone, fill out this short form: forms.gle/kuVdZenq5XrS...

New AMS Statement and Special Report: The Federal agencies in the public sector provide a foundational role in supporting the rest of the weather enterprise. A failure of these systems would be catastrophic. Read the AMS Statement: bit.ly/4lLTdbk

Great opportunity for Earth systems science data folks:

If you provide Earth system science learning at the post-secondary levels or within the workforce, we need your input! Take this quick survey so we can understand your priorities + obstacles to providing education, training & support: www.surveymonkey.com/r/ESS_Needs

I’m keeping a running upperair observation status page on my website. I have additional metadata like reason for degradation, degradation type, when the degradation began, etc. In a coming update you will be able to read those things by clicking on the site. www.stormscale.io/spc/upperair...

2 additional radiosonde sites are temporarily suspending launches, while 6 others are reducing to one launch a day. 14 out of 83 sites now have partial or no launches. The more radiosondes are reduced or suspended, the more noticeable the forecast skill reduction becomes.

Reminder, NOAA/NWS houses the Volcanic Ash Advisory Center. NOAA/NWS reductions in force (RIF) decisions are expected in the next few days.

Applications now open for the Climatematch „Computational Tools for Climate Science“ course! I am a big fan of Climatematch and recommend folks to apply if they want to start with climate data analytics (or help out as a TA!) portal.neuromatchacademy.org

Hi - I'd like to share this story of what is happening at NOAA GFDL, where some of my colleagues and I worked until the mass firings at NOAA last week. "...the birthplace of weather and climate forecasting"

For those who don’t know what NOAA’s Radar Operations Center (ROC) does, they are the tech experts who keep our nation’s weather radars running, 24/7. ROC has a hotline NWS offices can call for help getting broken radars working again quickly. www.roc.noaa.gov

Job opportunity for a Research Software Development to join my collaborators on the @rhodiumgroup.bsky.social Climate Impacts team (and collaborate with me!) www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/41...

I have written a short statement responding to mass firings today of #NOAA / National Weather Service (#NWS) staff (which were concentrated among recent hires as well as highly experienced staff who had recently been promoted). Please see below screenshot & below for full text.

Join us! Science Homecoming helps scientists reconnect with communities by writing about the importance of science funding in their hometown newspapers. We’ve mapped every small newspaper in the U.S. and provide resources to get you started. Help science get back home 🧪🔬🧬 🏠 sciencehomecoming.com

So much of what is happening is unacceptable, but this one hits me right in the gut. Sending love and support to all of my EarthScope friends and colleagues.

#AMS2025, come find me at 3!

We've had some infrastructure providers drop out of the mybinder.org federation lately, and some instability with others, so Binder may be slow or unreliable.

And be sure to check out NSF NCAR's Town Hall to learn more about our computational and data services, resources, and opportunities at lunch on Tuesday at #AMS2025! ams.confex.com/ams/105ANNUA...

Heading to #AMS2025? Drop by the AMS booth and check out the Open Science & Data Help Desk and Showcase (Mon - Thurs)! More info and schedule here: www.esipfed.org/data-help-de...

Attending the @ametsoc.bsky.social Annual Meeting next week? Make sure to add the annual AMS Technology and AI Mixer! Monday evening at 6:30 PM at the Hilton Riverside St. James Room! We will have BBQ, tacos, appetizers, and more!

Great internship opportunity with great folks!

Made a feed for AMS2025! Please follow and let me know if I need to adjust the tags it is following. #AMS2025 bsky.app/profile/did:...

Most current gridded surface #meteorological datasets do not resolve #urban signals. In our #openaccess study in Scientific Data (doi.org/10.1038/s415...), we develop a 1km daily #model-#observation fusion product spanning 1981–2018 over continental #US (CONUS) that represents these signals. [1/n]

Abstract submissions are now open for the 2025 Improving Scientific Software Conference April 7-10 in Boulder, CO and virtual! sea.ucar.edu/iss/2025

Are you at #AGU24? Interested in earth science and geospatial data using @projectjupyter.bsky.social and open source, cloud-native, collaborative tools? I'm around and would love to talk about our new efforts on this front - you can read a bit more here: geojupyter.org/agu-2024

Headed to #AGU24 today! Excited to for a week of learning, exploring, collaborating, and creating.

Good morning #AGU24! We're looking forward to seeing everyone this week! As folks are traveling we'd love to play a game of who can spot the most poster tubes! Drop your count below and and feel free to let us know how many folks are still working on their presentations like Paige is here👇🏼

Hey folks going to the #AGU24 meeting in December! AGU used to organize a fun run for attendees in the before times, but in lieu, @dabail10.bsky.social and I thought we’d try to organize an informal one: Wednesday 11th Dec at 7am at the Lincoln Memorial.

My team at NSF NCAR has just unveiled our new AI global numerical weather prediction framework, CREDIT, and our new model, WXFormer. We have a 1-hour time step model that performs (mostly) stable forecasts out to 5 days. More advances and collaborations coming soon. arxiv.org/abs/2411.07814

Since uncertainty is a hot topic right now, I encourage you to check out my group's new paper on how to quantify aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty with a single neural network and then use those uncertainties to extract insights from weather problems. journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal...
