An atmospheric general circulation model you can run on a Python Jupyter notebook?! Heck yeah! Check out this project- both an educational tool for undergraduates/graduate students, and a research tool for scientists interested in idealized climate modeling.

Climate.gov will re-launch under new URL thanks to a secret team of web ninjas | CNN A small group of writers and researchers are launching an ambitious effort to preserve key climate data that the Trump administration has taken offline, including the climate.gov website.

New nonprofit climate group forms, aims to resurrect climate.gov, National Climate Assessment and other lost data www.cnn.com/2025/08/28/c...

but yeah all a bit medieval

I go straight to google scholar these days

considerably less than it takes ams these days

Oh you sweet summer child.

I have downloaded
the tiny files
that were in
your national data center

and which
you were probably
hoping
no one would touch

Forgive me
they were all such tiny files
and so very slow
and yet they added up

seasonal forecast models aren’t just for making seasonal forecasts

Hill Country COMMUNITY JOURNAL County provides ARPA Fund update Rosa Lavender Jul 14, 2024 Veteran's Pathway and the new first responder emergency radio system for Kerr County were the major projects funded by the $10.2 million in funds received by Kerr County in 2021 from the American Rescue Plan Act. Three years ago, many in the local conservative community warned against keeping the ARPA funding because of possible "strings attached" and repeatedly urged county leaders to return the money to the federal government. Almost $7 million of the $10.2 million has been spent on the county's new radio system which, as of last week, is about 50 percent complete, according to Sheriff Larry Leitha.

did they really spend 7 million from arpa on sheriff radios?

This fellowship was a huge part of the reason I am continuing to do climate science, and it has supported so many incredible people. These effects on early-career researchers, who do some of the most impactful work, is going to have long-lasting implications for science and scientists.

it would be a shame if @climate.columbia.edu failed to support it iridl.ldeo.columbia.edu

if only there were something like a library for data

CFSv2 forecasts of 3-month average of Nino 3.4 showing mostly cool conditions for the upcoming winter

CFSv2 here www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/CFS...

NMME Nino 3.4 forecasts from June 2023 t present in chiclet form. Verification time is x-axis and lead time is y-axis. Some hints of cooling for the coming winter

And in chiclet form

NMME Nino 3.4 forecasts made at beginning of July (solid lines) and June (dashed lines) for the following 12 months. The latest forecasts are cooler, and one model is doing its own thing

Latest NMME ENSO forecasts are cooler (0.25–0.5 °C) than last the ones from last month. (I don't have CFSv2)

It's surreal to sit on a call with NOAA cooperative institute employees actively forecasting hazards that may affect the US while the US Senate effective terminates those employees and their work.

The American public does not yet realize the devastation inflicted on our scientific institutions

2nd review: manuscript not memorable

I made a (probably incomplete) local copy b/c the enso blog is my source for all things enso. Backup sites? There’s always the wayback machine web.archive.org/web/20250623...

banana loaf

and someone wants you to know about the monthly relative Nino 3.4 www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/data/indices...
