Distinguishing environmental controls on strong vs. extreme wind gusts Statistical and theoretical models of wind gusts may be dominated by more common strong events, rather than rare but damaging extreme ones. We address…

Congrats to Greeshma Surendran who's first PhD paper was just published www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
The work shows that atmospheric environmental factors linked to extreme wind gusts are different to those that link to strong wind gusts. πŸ§ͺ

It's great to be listening to Prof. Koji Dairaku in the regional climate modelling session at the Asia-Oceania Geosciences Society Conference. There is lots of interesting work in this space happening!

New study shows cloud loss contributing to record-breaking temperatures NASA-led study shows Earth’s cloud cover is shrinking, amplifying warming. Fewer clouds mean more heat absorbed and record temperatures worldwide.

Earth is losing clouds β€” fast.
Storm zones have shrunk by up to 3% per decade.
That’s helping drive record-breaking heat.

New NASA-led research featuring @Weather21C shows how less cloud = more warming.

I'll be using precipitation observations with a lot more caution after Lisa's interesting talk.

A really interesting talk from Andy. Lots of benefits come from Climate modelling at Km scales but there is more work to do to realise all the benefits.

I had the pleasure of doing a Q&A session at a @cricketforclimate event. The event was talking with South Asian cricket communities about the impacts of climate change on cricket and what climate solutions can look like for clubs - because we all want to play cricket forever!

The LNP don't like their own words repeated back to them, which is why they're infuriated by this ad.

Which is also why you should share it.

Our new paper shows how much climate can impact the recovery of vegetation after large fires. After the 2019/2020 Australian fires, the unusually high rainfall substantially increased the rate of recovery over what would have happen in normal conditions. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

Is the Climate Changing Faster than Expected? - The ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes The evidence is clear: the impacts of global warming are increasing, and to reduce them, we require a deep and rapid cut in greenhouse gas emissions.

The need for carbon-emissions-driven climate projections in CMIP7 Abstract. Previous phases of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) have primarily focused on simulations driven by atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs), for both idealized ...

New paper on #CMIP7 emissions-driven design out today in GMD.

Earth System Modeling has long relied on simulations driven by GHG concentrations. But this approach is outdated.

ESMs need to resolve human activity and its consquences.
