Atmospheric scientists have developed an algorithm that uses data from water vapor movements to measure wind. This could help predict extreme events like hurricanes.

In 2021, University of Arizona researchers mapped extreme snowmelt events over the last thirty years to better understand the processes behind rapid melting in a variety of regions.

Open access notables What does intellectual bankruptcy often look like? Trying to switch topics by going ad hominem, thats what. When somebody stops thinking and begins flinging irrelevant insults, threats and accusations at a person, were seeing a crisply humiliating admission: I have nothing. Going broke isnt free. In the case of climate science its climate scientists who bear costs. Global Witness quantifies this, finding that some 50% of climate scientists have found themselves on ...

Open access notables Despite the potential for positive methane–climate feedbacks from global wetlands, most Earth System Models (ESMs) and Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) that informed the last Assessment Report of the IPCC do not directly incorporate this process. Publishing in Nature Climate Change, Zheng et al. unpack the implications of this oversight in Recent intensification of wetland methane feedback. The authors find that compared to climate models CH4 emi...
