From the social media hive, anyone have resources/tools/experience writing BUFR from CSV/ASCII/fixed-width text files? I have a sounding I need to convert to BUFR and don't want to reinvent the wheel (nor can I currently create any kind of wheel)

Great data visualization. And sad reality

ICON-DREAM-data now available via the #OpenData server of @dwdderwetterdienst.bsky.social The “Dual Resolution #Reanalysis for Emulators, Applications & Monitoring” was generated using the two-way coupling of DWD's ICON model with a 6.5km grid over Europe & 13km globally dx.doi.org/10.5676/dwd/...

Well, it's now official (per NOAA): Dec (and Nov-Dec) 2025 were the warmest such periods on record for Western U.S. (and also for most individual Western states). It has been an extraordinarily sustained period of winter warmth, and this eerily balmy winter continues into Jan.

December 2025 was the driest on record for Oklahoma, 2nd driest for Arkansas, 3rd for Missouri and Texas, and 4th for Kansas. Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming had extremely wet Decembers ranking in their top 10. #precipitation #drought 🧪 www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monit...

An incredible day at #Heavenly #SkiCalifornia #OSSTahoe #SkiHeavenly #TahoeIsHeavenly #Heavenly70! #VisitLakeTahoe

Excited to share a new paper (EOR) from the group, led by Evan White, in which we derive probabilistic 1-8 day severe hazard forecasts from global AI weather prediction models! Check it out here: journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal...

Next week: 49ers v Hawks. #GoHawks

I’ve always heard Lake Tahoe was gorgeous…but to see it in person is breathtaking

Hour and a half layover but you STILL couldn’t load my bag American? Really?

Oh Carolina…

I would simply try to defend the middle of the field

Carolina?

oregon has been desperately trying to scrape and claw their way to a seat at the big boy table for like 25 years only to be completely eclipsed by a school that decided to give a shit about football 18 months ago bc they hired a scary guy

I always enjoy an Oregon beat down

And our first tornado warning of the year on…checks notes…January 8th

OK OK, you guys can all stop hiding the secrets to better productivity now...I'm ready to actually find the secrets. So please, share them...soon...now... PLEASE!!!

Nominations for @agu.org AGU awards are now being accepted! Please nominate a deserving colleague. Many qualified people do not win awards because no one nominates them. Also, for many AGU awards, you can self-nominate. www.agu.org/honors

College football is really starting to lose me as a fan

Paralysis by to-do lists. Welcome to Spring 2026

New forecasts are forthcoming this morning, but a new AI forecast system my group is developing depicted a broad day 5 signal for severe weather hazards across the Southeast U.S. on Friday. Something to keep an eye on

NSF also only gets a 3% cut and there is language protecting indirect rates. NCAR doesn't get any explicit mentions, just that the administration has to give Congress 30 days notice before any drastic changes.

House and Senate appropriators have released a "minibus" appropriations bill that includes CJS (NASA, NOAA, NSF). NASA would get $24.44 billion, slightly less than FY25 but much better than the proposed $18.8 billion. docs.house.gov/billsthiswee...

Oh yes, we are back to the point at which I have to think about looking at emails again

An Indiana CFP title could close the rift that was created when the Cubs won the World Series

Students in the atmospheric and related sciences: are you looking for a summer internship? I've just updated my listing of summer internships for the 2026 application cycle. Most deadlines are coming up in January & February! #weather #climate #reu #research clarkevanswx.github.io/education/un...

Dan Lanning leaving like 9 points on the field is hilarious

Oklahoma City, OK - It's been a year of extremes, from a mid-winter frigid arctic blast, to a cooler and wetter than average summer, to an impressive late-December heat wave with Christmas temperatures more like what you'd expect in Australia this time of year.

Lubbock set a December monthly high temperature of 86F today, breaking the previous Christmas Day record by 10 degrees. The top 3 warmest December high temperatures in Lubbock (records back to 1911) occurred in the last 4 days. #txwx

And with only six days remaining in the year, 2025 will easily be the warmest year on record. For the Jan1-Dec25 period, 2025 is at an average temperature of 61.1°F, which is 0.7° above second place. [2/2]

We just had the warmest #Christmas on record in #Albuquerque: the new record high temperature is 64°F and the new record warm low temperature is 44°F. (previous records were 63° and 39°) The average high/low on Christmas is 46°/26°, and the record coldest Christmas is 21°/-8° (set in 1924). [1/2]

Go Hoosiers

Wanna call a false start on Bama? No? Okay.

Sure I can still derive the Navier-Stokes equation from memory. Here, see for yourself.

Hot take here but maybe you don’t gift the other team points in the second half?

BOOMER FLIPPIN SOONER

IT’S PLAYOFF GAMEDAY!!! BEAT BAMA!

NEW: Colorado Sens Hickenlooper and Bennet announce they're putting a hold on the Senate appropriations package to demand funding for NCAR. Bennet said today that the Trump administration's move to dismantle the climate/weather lab is retaliation for Tina Peters' imprisonment.

OMBs statement masquerading as the NSF: www.nsf.gov/news/intent-...

These people are nuts. NCAR developed the GPS dropsonde, which revolutionized the understanding of TC structure, improved forecasts, and validated remote sensing platforms, as documented in over 400 peer-reviewed publications in the last 25 years. And that’s just one of NCAR’s countless advances.

I’m at a loss for words.

Uhhh…10k fewer attendees this year is like a third of AGU

Go Dawgs!

🧵 NSF is reducing external review requirements and eliminating routine expert panels, citing staff shortages that this administration implemented. This change expands program officer authority. But the solution to flawed accountability isn't less public accountability.

Missing out on AGU this year…but not the 100 miles of walking

That was unnecessary roughness and worthy of an ejection? What in the world is this NFL

Oklahoma's Tate Sandell is recognized as the Lou Groza Award Winner for the nation's best kicker! #CFBPlayoff x #BoomerSooner

Every year we provide our seniors an opportunity to present their capstone research to the entire NWC community, lined up across the 5th floor. I love this event and seeing the progress of our students from 1st years to soon-to-be graduating seniors!

Going to #AGU25 next week in New Orleans? If so, be sure to stop by two presentations from the OU Applied Climate Dynamics Group! (1/4)
