🚨 New Study Alert! Our study with @zmoon92.bsky.social & @edougherty.bsky.social offers new insights into how African Easterly Waves (AEWs), the seeds of Atlantic hurricanes 🌀, are being shaped by a warmer, moister climate. doi.org/10.1029/2025...

Oh hey, that's our paper!

The Dept. of Atmospheric Sciences at Texas A&M has a YouTube channel. Check out our first video! Starring @knubez.bsky.social along with many faculty and students! youtu.be/_e57SmX2Ijw?...

Just a reminder that NWS is considered essential during a government shutdown. Meteorologists will still go to work, forecasts will still be made, watches and warnings will be issued, data will flow. We won’t be paid until the shutdown ends, but we’ll still protect life and property as always.

Much appreciation for AMS Editor's Award recipient Rosimar Rios-Berrios for meticulous, thoughtful, constructive reviews 🤩 Learn more: bit.ly/48gR7vJ #JAtmosSci #PeerReviewWeek

Incredibly proud of my colleagues at NOAA's NCEI that put together this thorough storymap of Hurricane Helene. storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/8887...

🌍 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...

Leaving negative comments isn’t really helpful. It takes zero effort to be kind and just scroll past. I choose to remain hopeful and love what I do, because the people that matter most are the ones I took an oath to serve - the American public.

Attention hurricane enthusiasts, connoisseurs, experts: the Atlantic season is entering the active months (Aug-Sep-Oct) so what better time to remind you of this Starter Pack so you can get reliable information and insights! go.bsky.app/88mXQKD

Our research on the connection between African easterly waves (AEW) and ENSO was accepted! Using a wave tracker, we show that there is increased circulation, moisture, and convection around AEWs during La Niña, especially in the wave's mid- to low- levels near Africa. This may have TC implications.

A quick heads up on some tropical weather social media posts you may see around this time of year. The GFS (U.S.) model is known to over-intensify storms in the western Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico in May and June. This means sometimes it will show a strong hurricane developing ~7+ days out, 1/

200+ scientists are in the middle of a marathon livestream to show why weather and climate science is so important and needs all our help to continue. It is here: wclivestream.com/watch

The first CGWaves research flight is scheduled for tonight! This is the plan, which could change a bit during the flight. @miamirosenstiel.bsky.social

Beyond honored to have been awarded the Bonnie Cone Early Career Professorship in Teaching! My name may be on the plaque but it is dedicated to all who have mentored, taught, and supported me along the way. I can only hope to live up to Bonnie's reputation of excellence and advocacy.

The Community Earth System Model workshop is taking place June 9-11 in Boulder, CO and hybrid online. It's free to attend or present online! Please consider sharing your work on climate and Earth system modeling (with any model). Register here by May 5th to present: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

We will be holding a memorial celebration for Prof. Jenni Evans this coming Friday (4/11) at 5:00 PM in 112 Walker Building @pennstateuniv.bsky.social to honor her life. If you would like to give a speech, reach out to me @ [email protected] or Guido Cervone ([email protected]). @ametsoc.org

It is with deep sadness that I share the passing of my Ph.D. advisor, Jenni Evans. She was an esteemed scientific leader in tropical meteorology & computational science. She shared great strength & inspiration to follow my dreams. @ametsoc.org @pennstateuniv.bsky.social shorturl.at/BrzAU

The U.S. has two tsunami warning centers, both operated by NOAA. Employees were terminated from these centers today. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center covers Hawaiʻi, and now it is less safe to be near the beach. www.tsunami.gov

A statement I must make:

Thinking today about @holdenthorp.bsky.social prescient advice one year ago at the AAAS meeting: scientists supporting one another is going to be very important going forward for the community.

I've typed and deleted many post drafts because I don't know what to say. Because words just cannot capture how heartbroken, angry, and helpless I feel right now watching these brilliant, hardworking colleagues and friends senselessly lose their jobs. I'm crying with you.

"[The removal of public data has] real world consequences, leaving individuals, families, communities, and policymakers alike without access to secure, reliable federal data that they have paid for and expect to use."

We are alarmed by the Administration’s actions to freeze science funding and eliminate DEI efforts and climate change initiatives, which go against AGU’s mission and harms our members. We must unite to address these changes, beginning by hearing from you. Read more: https://buff.ly/4hm8r4e

Just got a story approved to run on Monday on the crisis happening at the NSF. If you are an NSF-funded scientist and have been personally impacted by the funding pause this week, I'd love to hear from you. Reach me securely on Signal: 3162958947

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

My federal met colleagues have done NOTHING but serve the public in good faith with their best abilities. They are the literal opposite of “wasteful.” They deserve better than this betrayal.

Hi #AMS2025 folks! On my way after a friend's beautiful wedding yesterday. I'll be giving two talks back-to-back Monday, January 13th, in the MJO/Sub-Seasonal Monsoon Variability session from 9:30-10am! If you don't mind listening to me talk about tropical waves for 30 minutes, come stop by!

Some perspective for people who are saying they hope there is a government shutdown. Government workers are real people. Your friends, your neighbors, even maybe your family. Some of us are still required to work during a shutdown, and guess what? We do not get paid for that work until…(1/2)

📢#AGU24: Interested in how the warming climate will affect weather over Africa & the Atlantic? Stop by my talk on Monday! @edougherty.bsky.social & I have join forces & are pioneering the use of MPAS (next gen weather & climate model) @ km-scales to simulate future climate projections! ⛈️

Welcome Texas A&M @tamu.bsky.social Atmospheric Sciences! If you're interested in atmospheric sciences, give @tamuatmo.bsky.social a follow

Going to AMS and not AGU this year, which means I get to do the pre-conference crunch during the most convenient time of the year: the holidays!

Razing and elevating homes after a storm is a pain — it’s expensive and slow for distraught residents. But it keeps us safe from future storms. Skipping it isn’t optional, as Fort Myers Beach learned www.miamiherald.com/news/weather...

I’m learning that my productively is inversely related to the snow rates outside.

You can now share the Warming Stripes directly to BlueSky, such as these for my town of Reading: showyourstripes.info/s/europe/uni... (Find the graphic you want to share, click the blue options button - the one with three horizontal lines - and select the butterfly!)

Guess it is as good of a time as any to say this is my first week as a Senior Hurricane Specialist at NHC. Last month marked 4 years since I started at NHC & it has been an incredibly humbling yet fulfilling experience. It is an honor to keep on doing what I love, to help save lives & property. 🌀

After a few days out of town, I’m back in the office this week with a lovely view of the Flatirons… a great distraction from all of the work I need to get done 😅

At 10k followers I will solve the Navier–Stokes equations

New followers, so figured it’s a good time to introduce myself! I’m a postdoc at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, where my research focuses on tropical waves and atmospheric dynamics. I also have an interest in hurricane formation. Excited to talk science with everyone on here!

A bit about me (for those who may not know me from the Other Place): I am a meteorologist specializing in severe storms/tornadoes, with particular interests in comms. Outside of that, I love to bake/cook and am a voracious reader who spends too much money on special edition books.

Welcome @berkeleylabemp.bsky.social @miamirosenstiel.bsky.social @miamiresilience.bsky.social @climatereefs.bsky.social @ficlima.bsky.social to my starter pack of research organizations, centers and departments that bring folks together to tackle climate. Click here to follow some or all:

Thought I’d also add my severe weather research/ops starter pack to this thread go.bsky.app/Kswq9wN

And for hurricane specifically, try @bmcnoldy.bsky.social starter pack:

🚨No better day to announce the Climate Accountability Lab at the University of Miami is hiring for 4 new positions in computational social science (2xPhD, Postdoc, Software Engineer) to investigate disinformation & propaganda. Come help shape climate accountability for the next four years. ⬇️ 1/n

Now seemed like a better time than any to make the jump here, hi folks!

This import tool (skeet.labnotes.org) works well. I just used it to follow my alt-site users on Bluesky. (To use it, you will need to create an App Password in Bluesky settings, which is not explained very clearly)

A very long and important surveillance flight ahead of Idalia by NOAA... lots of environmental data going into tonight's models.
