My talk at U of Miami/RSMAS is now online: “Climate change, renewables, and the cost of electricity”.

Thanks again to @davenolan305.bsky.social for hosting my visit and to all of the people who spent time talking to me. There’s a lot of great science going on there.

Spring has arrived @miamirosenstiel.bsky.social

Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

Also a record low in my office!

A record low this morning - in our house!

With a minimum temperature of 35 °F, today marks just the 2nd time this century that the temperature in Miami dipped so low. It was also 35° on 10 Jan 2010. This morning's lowest wind chill reading in #Miami was 26°

This morning in Coral Gables, we had some visitors

‘A Towering Intellect’: Michael McElroy, Giant of Harvard Environmental Sciences, Dies at 86 | News | The Harvard Crimson Remembered as a pioneering atmospheric scientist who bridged planetary science, climate policy, and undergraduate education, Michael B. McElroy, 86, died earlier this month from cancer.

I was sorry to hear that Mike McElroy has passed away. He was on my Ph.D. committee and was always very supportive of me and my work.

This really is quite the US weather hazard alert map.

It's actually looking like winter @miamirosenstiel.bsky.social

On the rippin’ back side of an intensifying low.

Your eyes immediately see the colors warm throughout the year as you progress to more recent years. "King Tide season" is also evident in the Fall months. You'll also spot the influence of the lunar phase and a keen observer will spot notable hurricane storm surges.

As an internationally recognized expert in hurricanes and tornadoes, it's no surprise that I'm pretty good at the game called "Cownado"

🚨🔥 Warmest Christmas on record for the Contiguous U.S.! The average high of 57.9F and the average low of 36.6F each broke the Christmas record by a full 3F. 🔥🚨

Now up to three separate spots with 100+ gusts in/near Boulder, two within the past hour.

Again: It's considerably drier than Wednesday, and the wind started earlier (longer lasting wind event). Hence the extra concern today compared to Wednesday.

What's NCAR? and 8 ways it has helped you

Trump team plans to break up ‘global mothership’ of climate science Much of the National Center for Atmospheric Research’s non-climate portfolio will be dispersed, the White House says.

Here's our reporting on the proposed dismantling of the jewel of US atmospheric science, @ncar-ucar.bsky.social.

The plan is to break NCAR apart and disburse some parts to other locations (like the research aircraft fleet) and eliminate others.

Here’s the reference on the impact of the NCAR dropwindsonde on hurricane research and forecasting - a nice literature review by my former colleagues at the NOAA Hurricane Research Division (also under threat of being dismantled).
