Amazing images of ESAs Biomass satellite mission opening its 12m antenna in orbit. Looking forward to seeing the first data. @esaearth.esa.int @nceoscience.bsky.social www.esa.int/Applications...

A fantastic opportunity for early-mid career scientists to carry out research at the forefront of weather and climate modelling, open to international candidates too! #postdoc #meteorology #climate #research

New Open Access paper from the NERC SPLICE project, which examines how modelled predictions of photosynthesis change as the 3D description of the canopy becomes more complex. Led by Meg Stretton, with @kungphil.bsky.social and @matdisney.bsky.social. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Same plot as before but with the SSP CO2 concentration data. This doesn't feel quite so dramatic given that we are mostly under the curve, but obviously what's not great is the extent to which we have closed that gap in the last 3 years.

Every so often, over on the other site, I used to post a plot of CO2 concentration at Mauna Loa against the old RCP data. I haven't done that for probably 3 years, so thought I'd quickly re-run my scripts. Looks like we're slowly drifting away from 2.6 & 4.5. Will add SSP data when I get a moment.

My thoughts are with colleagues at Cardiff University, but this is just the tip of the iceberg for UK HE. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

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!)

University of Reading will have a lot funded PhD places in climate related areas over the next five years. Applications will open soon for some schemes. Watch the university website for details. Please pass on to anyone who might be interested. www.reading.ac.uk/news/2024/Re...

So this is where everyone went! :-)
