I absolutely love this-potentially a great teaching tool.

I still love climate models. Sorry dad.

From this we conclude that global warming likely contributed to drying in Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean, and Arctic Russia and to wetting in Northern Europe, East-central Asia, and Tibet.

We find that spatiotemporal drought variability over Eurasia is NOT consistent with estimates of variability from the pre-industrial period (800-1849), and is better explained by when including a forced response that scales with global temperature

I like AGU but the new open science requirements for publication are, frankly, incredibly ONEROUS
comment in response to post
Yeah, I noticed that!

Thank you!

Thanks, but I'm actually well versed in the history of fire and climate in Western North America.

I record in addition to the simulcast, though I'm debating about dropping the live zoom and just doing what you do

I do the exact same thing and I'm surprised more professors don't. To me it's win-win: students don't feel like they have to come to class or miss the material, I don't have to deal with a classroom turning into the final scene from Masque of the Red Death

At AGU there was a talk that was like, "and with this approach, we can use a ML emulator to generate 10,000 ensemble members! Also, everything follows a gaussian distribution" Christina Karamperidou's paper was cool though. I'm gonna email you about it soon once i'm done debasing myself with ERA5

I think a lot of it is the Venturi effect. One thing to be cold out, but another to also be walking down a long avenue with the wind howling in your face, LOL

Indeed, commercial air traffic is only about ~2% of global GHG emissions. www.wri.org/insights/4-c...
