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, that's what. When somebody stops thinking and begins flinging irrelevant insults, threats and accusations at a person, we're seeing a crisply humiliating admission: 'I have nothing.' Going broke isn't free. In the case of climate science it's climate scientists who bear costs. Global Witness quantifies this, finding that some 50% of climate scientists have found themselves on the receiving end of vitriol hurled by (surrendering, let's remember) abusers in var...
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 emissions are rising notably faster than projected, on the order of perhaps 25%. This of course is no...
The warming of the Arctic and the Mediterranean Sea mean that Western Disturbances are striking India less in winter and more in summer; with catastrophic consequences
