Air-sea interactions over persistent warm midlatitude SST anomalies - Climate Dynamics In 2012, a persistent marine heatwave (MHW) along the U.S. Mid-Atlantic coastline developed, driving the majority of the observed ~ 4 °C warming in the Gulf Stream region since 1982. In this study, th...

I am excited to share that another chapter from my PhD dissertation has been published in Climate Dynamics! This paper explores how long-term midlatitude SST anomalies can drive atmospheric circulation changes that, in turn, generate oceanic feedbacks. Check it out!

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Bloodbath at NOAA Special post on unconscionable firings on Thursday afternoon

News is tearing across my professional circles this afternoon. For those not involved in the weather enterprise, I need you to understand something:

To everyone at NOAA fired today:

You are an incredible human being. You signed up to serve the public. I deeply appreciate what you've given to your team, to NOAA, to our country as a whole.

Your firing is unconscionable. It runs counter to the values we stand for. And we will stand up for you.

A statement I must make:

Scoop: U.S. delegation pulled from key U.N. climate science meeting The IPCC meeting in China is slated to determine the content in the group's next series of reports.

The US pulling out of the IPCC will have zero effect on the reality of #climate change, zero effect on the science updates reported by the IPCC, and simply weaken US science and respect globally.

People may not understand just how important federal science research funding is to the prosperity of the nation. I tried to explain it, because it's under unprecedented and direct assault.
