The worldview of sea surface temperatures really does put into perspective how extreme the anomalous warmth is off the coast of Ireland.

It's the biggest & most intense marine heatwave on the planet, some >5°C above normal. Enhanced rainfall & hotter heatwaves a possible impact.

Center for Satellite Applications and Research - NOAA / NESDIS / STAR STAR translates raw satellite data into critical information needed to inform the public and safeguard the environment across the country and around the world.

The NOAA science seminars continue tomorrow with a verrry relevant talk on "The Social Value of Forecasting Hurricanes" by Renato Molina. Unsurprisingly, he finds that public investments in hurricane forecasts pay for themselves many times over in reduced losses.

AGU urges US commitment to climate science The U.S. must restore critical climate science leadership for a secure, prosperous future for the country and the world.

Opting out will make climate change more of a threat to US citizens!
“The world’s largest community of climate scientists urges the Trump administration to immediately renew U.S. federal commitment to climate science, including the restoration of data, personnel, grants and collaborations.”

🌊 Today in @nature.com: Is the AMOC on the brink of collapse?

Unlikely before 2100—but the risks are real 🚨

We find Southern Ocean winds keep this vital ocean "heat engine" running, even under extreme #climatechange. But the Pacific holds a surprise…
