SNODAS certainly had it's issues, but it remains one of the only only operational snow water equivalent products across CONUS. Not good.

Horrible interview with a horrible racist and sexist. Douthat + @nytimes.com may as well interview David Duke or the guy who founded the stormfront forums.

At this point, it's going to be difficult to keep track of what radiosonde sites are launching consistently or not. You can always check the SDM Administrative Messages to see which radiosondes made it into the models or not: www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/status/messa...

NOAA’s office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research’s main contract for its websites was not approved for renewal, so I’m told we should expect some of them to start to go down. “Lutnick's position on every contract is ‘no’ and agency reps have roughly a minute and a half to convince him otherwise.”

AGU has joined a lawsuit challenging the firing of probationary employees at federal agencies. These actions weaken science, harm public health & the environment, and threaten national security. 🧵 #StandWithScience

The google/apple maps 'Gulf of America' thing is so disappointing. I really hope that publishers do not cave — continue to let researchers use the correct name for the Gulf of Mexico. @elsevierconnect.bsky.social @natureportfolio.nature.com @agu.org

Trump administration orders NOAA scientists to halt all international work. Staff were told to stop meetings, discussions, emails with foreign colleagues. Freeze affects travel, virtual meetings, and collaborations until political appointees review them. 🐢🌍🧪🦑 www.opb.org/article/2025...

One more example: About 6-7 (?) years ago, google earth got rid if it's integration with 'Picasa' photos — there was a time when you could zoom into a random river canyon in the Altai and find photos that were geotagged at that location. It was really useful geographical information, now gone

Webcam view from Crested Butte, Colorado. In the distance are radiometers measuring shortwave radiation (solar radiation) and longwave (terrestrial radiation) near the surface. You can watch the effects of overhead clouds on the radiation flux. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkHk...

I recently needed to download some data from the NOAA GML laboratory's sondes in Boulder, CO . The data go all of the way back to the 1960s, so I went ahead and plotted the warming trend. What we see is very clear: warming in the lower atmosphere (1.5C) and cooling in the upper atmosphere.
