Sister, seems like we were all afraid you wouldn’t survive your first winter inside

But you thrived

And now, I hear maybe you are moving to Central Park - pretty swank

See you soon

👋 ❤️ 🌖 🌳

A little, 4’, sweet gum tree in a plastic pot at nasa nyc - nasa Giss - a week before eviction. 
Looks pretty healthy with its star shaped leaves sprouting out healthily.

#gistemp

Your favorite #nasa lab in #nyc #nasagiss came out with its May temperature analysis.

Giss measures its baseline climate to the 1950-1980 average.

This past year, we are 1.3 ℃ (2.34degF) above that.

Finally my paper looking at #AtmosphericRivers is out!

"How River-like ARE Atmospheric Rivers?”

VERY-- they take moisture from 1000's km and 10deg equatorward than your average storm.

#NASA #CYGNSS - GPS array that looks at how choppy the ocean surface is to determine surface wind speed and heat fluxes compares well w simulations from the #NASAGISS climate model w include a tracer suite that identifies where moisture in the atmosphere originally evaporated from.

#ClimateChange this past year did something odd.

2023 wasn’t supposed to be so hot. #enso El Niño didn’t start until mid year. And yet it was a scorcher.

Gavin Schmidt (my boss) explains why we were all caught +0.2degC off guard.

wasnt hunga tonga ‘22 volcano water vapor

mightve been cleaner shipping fuels… but not all

and so we really dont know what DID happen

YIKES

Edit:: launch success!!!!

#nasa #pace #plankton #aerosol #cloud #ocean #ecosystem monitor launches.

#nasagiss and #gsfc #ClimateChange scientists lead this mission.

I am excited and hopeful. There is a #polarimeter aboard which is particularly important for figuring out aerosols impact on our #climate

My grad student #nasa intern at CCRI (#nasagiss #nyc ), Lily Donaldson (PhD student at RPI) has been working as a mentor herself to kids at the Brighton Elementary School in #Tennessee who get to do a #ISS downlink and ask questions of real astronauts Nov 9 on nasa tv (details below).

Super excited for her and her students! #education

Okay... so... I gave my #NASAGISS talk about the #HISTORY of #Climate #ClimateModeling at #NASA GISS for its 60th anniversary.

I am a passable story teller after all.

I’ll give a text-version here... though not all at once… 40-minutes of the first 20 yrs.

____

In the beginning... climate ‘prediction' used Farmer's Almanacs... these were pretty awesome resources in knowing when to plant what crops.

They were pretty awesome, that is, until humans intervened…

Releasing what we all knew :

“July 2023 was 0.43 degrees Fahrenheit (F) (0.24 degrees Celsius (C)) warmer than any other July in NASA’s record, and it was 2.1 F (1.18 C) warmer than the average July between 1951 and 1980… warmest month in our record, which goes back to 1880”

Do you know a teacher or a grad student who’d like to do a PAID 10-month long part-time internship at #NASA #NYC ?

Both get to work with #NASAGISS and #NASAGSFC and #Columbia Univ. scientists on #climate projects as part of our #ClimateChange Research Initiative. (Must be USA based.)

giss.nasa.gov/edu/ccri/

High School teachers get to work with a dynamic group of @edutooters and develop K-12 Curricula.

DEADLINE: August 20, 2023

#FediJobs #Postdoc #ClimateChange

Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity, the amount of warming expected 2xCO2, lends much uncertainty to future #climatechange projections. Models designed with historical climate in mind must predict our future outside that range.

Many scientists believe that #paleoclimate constraints will narrow this uncertainty.

Interested & post-PhD? Come work w Jess Tierney in #Tucson, me in #nyc & others using the #NASA #NASAGISS climate model:

arizona.csod.com/ux/ats/career

Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity: the change in global surface air temperature given a doubling of CO2 is an emergent feature of global climate models that lets us know how much warming to expect in the next century. This value can vary by a factor of 3 according to the latest compilation of climate models (IPCC AR6). The NASA GISS E2.1 H and NASA GISS E2.1 G have ECS values near the mean of this range.

Today starts my 8th summer mentoring for #NASAGISS #CCRI#NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies #ClimateChange Research Initiative program

A high school teacher and grad student have worked with me p/t since Oct plus now f/t the summer program adds a college and high school student.

💪 Awesome 🎓 team 🦉 this year — they’re investigating
Volcanic Impacts on the Carbon Cycle

#internship

PS sci teacher interns are the pinnacle of #scicomm & #education & #stem

MS Teams view of two NASA GISS intern presenters talking with a slide show of a global map of some sort of sea surface temperature anomaly figure labeled “Typical cooling papattern (annual average) after volcanic eruption in GISS model. Is the pattern of volcanic cooling partially explained by a change in Nino state.
Other text 
“Research Questions
* Primary research question: assess the impact of Mt. Pinatubo-like volcanic eruptions on different climate systems
* Utilizing NASA GISS-E2.1 climate model
* Coupled atmosphere-ocean model containing information on atmospheric, ocean, and land surface processes and the cryosphere
* Specific research interests: the influence of volcanic eruptions on
ENSO (and vice versa) and the effects of each on marine life
* Ocean Carbon cycle

Super interesting seminar speaker this week at #NASAGISS #NASA ::

Kelton Minor does #Climate research at the intersection #ClimateChange and #SocialScience

Night time temperatures have been ticking up, and human bodies need that diurnal cycle of cool to rest well—

Particularly for every increase in temperature above ~50F / 10C , folks lose sleep.

Fascinating, check it out for yourself:
