Some exciting news to share: very soon, NOAA Research will be hiring new federal employees into science positions across the agency! A couple of notes:

1) They will only be open on USAJobs for seven days.
2) Multiple positions at different sites may be in one posting.

The Most Shipwrecked Lakes in the US Given that the Great Lakes were once the country’s busiest, it’s no surprise that they are also the most shipwrecked in the US.

In the age of Trump, we sometimes forget that a good message like this is the right thing to do.

Happy Meteorological Spring* to all who celebrate.

*I don’t know what the last 3 months was, but it wasn’t winter. Even accounting for the single interruption of snow in Oklahoma.

OK @radiofreetom.bsky.social listening to Copacabana this morning. Extraordinarily cheesy, but how can anyone sit still to this?! 💃

NWS starts down reorganization road - Climate Prediction Center to be merged into other NWS centers Thursday may have been the hottest winter day on record in the US, and I try to sort out some of the records

NWS is starting to roll out plans for a significant reorganization, and (per reporting by @laurenthal.bsky.social) the first aspect to be publicly acknowledged is the disbanding of the Climate Prediction Center and merging it into other NWS entities. tinyurl.com/47vpe3pa

This seems like a contradictory headline. Any explanations out there? 🤔

Any practice that appears to demonstrate humans are not needed is poison for the profession. Spectacularly bad judgment here. 😱

I was just thinking “how does he explain the millions who knew well in advance to shelter from this blizzard?” The NWS is the infrastructure for all of the weather enterprise!! 😡
