Is the JWST Now an Interplanetary Meteorologist?
The JWST has mapped a distant exoplanet's weather. It's a blistering hot world where 5000 mph winds whip around the planet constantly.

By Andy May There are three types of scientific models, as shown in figure 1. In this series of seven posts on climate model bias we are only concerned with two of them. The first are mathematical models that utilize well established physical, and chemical processes and principles to model some part of our reality,…
As sophisticated as our climate models are, there are too many variables at play over time.
The fate of plastics entering the 3D ocean circulation from rivers discharge is examined through the Lagrangian analysis of neutrally buoyant particles. Particles are released continuously over 1991-2010 at the surface along the coasts according to monthly estimates of rivers plastic waste input. They are advected by daily currents from a state-of-the-art global ocean model at 1/12° resolution. At the end of the simulation, particles remaining in the surface layer of 1~m thickness represent less than 2\% of the total particles released. These are concentrated in the center of subtropical ...
MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL (02/24/2022) — Minnesota’s winters are warming faster than nearly any other state in the contiguous United States, but according to a new study published in the journal of Earth and Space Science by researchers from across the University of Minnesota, summers are beginning to heat up too.
