I spoke with a hurricane modeler who was just fired from the branch of NOAA that keeps weather models running. He got a form letter like hundreds of others telling him he was losing his job in an hour. This bodes very poorly for American forecasting. Gift link: www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

A statement I must make:

Something that deserves recognition: At federal labs such as NOAA’s NSSL, ESRL, or EMC, most employees are first hired on as contractors through a company or cooperative institute. After several years, many get “promoted” by being hired as Feds. These are the “probationary employees” getting fired

NOAA Cuts Leave Wind Chimes As Sole Predictor Of Approaching Hurricanes

Needing more attention (IMO) is the impact to NWS and NOS systems maintenance. Radars, ASOS, upper air, ocean buoys, tide gauges and a myriad of other data collection efforts require frequent work just to stay functional. Outages and extended downtime will accumulate with cascading impacts. #NOAA

A weather post: The SPC has identified the severe weather potential for Tuesday in the lower MS Valley. A very diffluent flow out of the jet streak rounding the negatively tilted, but cut off, trough. A strong low-level jet even in mid-afternoon. Moisture suggests a very mature cyclone look.

My friends Mallory and Larissa were shining examples of hard working, focused, and talented scientists and developers that worked to make our numerical modeling capabilities better. Those efforts have direct impact on the forecasters that use those models. Today is a tragedy.

What do better hurricane track forecasts mean? In 1999, Major Hurricane Floyd threatened Florida. The forecast showed the storm remaining east of Florida, but given the large track forecast errors in 1999, a major hurricane landfall on the east coast of Florida was still possible

🚨 #NOAA is essential for weather forecasting, climate research, and public safety. AGU stands with the scientific community in urging Congress to protect and strengthen NOAA, not dismantle it. Our economy, environment, and safety depend on it.

Every local meteorologist should be telling their viewers why it’s a terrible idea to fire a bunch of the people who provide the data so they can tell you if it’s going to snow or have a tornado tomorrow.

I'm a pilot with engineering Ph.D., worked in both airline and tech industries. I can say there is absolutely zero chance, given the timing of the switch, that FAA had done any review to make the decision based on merits. I hope Verizon sue the hell out of it.
