Do you know about the Argo Array? I had no idea. As a US Taxpayer I pay about 5¢ a year to maintain 4000 ocean robots collecting and sharing data with the world. What a bargain! So much more to learn at the 100 hour Weather & Climate Livestream. wclivestream.com

Question from a livestream viewer: “How many lives are collectively impacted by [NOAA's] monitoring and rapid response work.” John Cortinas: “I don’t have any exact numbers, but I would probably start by saying the entire population of the United States…"

Our schedule is almost full 🎉, but we could still use US-based meteorologists and climate scientists to speak in the overnight period on late Friday/early Saturday and late Saturday/early Sunday. If you're a night owl, or living in Alaska or Hawaii, we'd love to have you! wclivestream.com/speakers/

Before high-tech climate monitoring tools, there were glass flasks! In the 1950s, Charles David Keeling cracked the code to measuring #CO2 in the atmosphere, later becoming known as the @keelingcurve.bsky.social. Read about the history from @smithsonianmag.bsky.social.

Hi everyone, As you know, there are now many initiatives being offered by other countries to support US researchers whose funding has been pulled or threatened. Here is my attempt to gather the relevant information about all of these efforts in one place. Please share. jmlilly.net/blog/2025/05...

Can AI weather models predict out-of-distribution gray swan extremes? We report @pnas.org that the answer is NO for global gray swans, YES for regional ones: AI models can't extrapolate from weaker events but can learn from similar events in other regions during training! doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Of course I worry about speaking up, but I worry more about what will happen if none of us does.

It's remarkable how well these early projections hold up. You might say they got lucky, in that they left out many compensating biases. Or you might say they were geniuses well ahead of their time who included all of the most important processes (Planck, lapse rate, and water vapor feedbacks, etc).

Tied into this history of the AIS is the breakthrough of numerical weather forecasting, led by von Neumann, Rossby, and Charney. It's no coincidence that NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory moved across the river and shortly thereafter created the world's first global climate models.

🚨New Paper! Led by Joey Bisits, with @janzika.bsky.social, we explore the drivers of cabelling instability in the ocean using a first-of-its-kind turbulence-resolving simulation. See here for energy budgets, diffusion calcs and pretty pictures using Oceananigans: doi.org/10.1017/jfm....
