The shutdown has left NOAA's network of cooperative research institutes locked out of federal labs and cut off from federal collaborators. In some cases, it's affecting research aimed at public safety—like toxic algae monitoring in the Great Lakes. My story 🔏 & quick 🧵 www.eenews.net/articles/shu...

Here is a 54h WV loop of #Melissa as it underwent rapid intensification from a 60 kt TS ➡️ 150 kt cat 5 #Hurricane.
Pay attention to how "warm" eye becomes at the end of the loop which ends at 18 UTC 27 Oct.
Color scale ends at -5C & eye temp on the last few frames was warmer than that 🤯
When Eric Schwartz was 15, his mother died. The first day back at school after the loss was difficult, but one teacher's kindness changed his experience of the day and the rest of his life.
This is still up? I thought we trusted experts in various fields and multiple atmospheric science specialists have corrected your post….
If you want to stand up for science, not hurting the already complex world of forecast communications with wildly off base information would be a stellar start.

The Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) is at 92% of average for the date this Atlantic hurricane season. Rather than counting storms, this metric accounts for the combined duration and intensity of whatever storms there were.
Climatologically, 15% of the season's ACE is still ahead.
You could doomscroll, or you could literally go take a shower and then go to bed earlier than usual. One of those options will make you feel better than the other. You still deserve time to rest and recover.
They’ve survived dinosaurs, ice ages, and asteroid impacts
But they might not survive us. 🐢🌍
Sea turtles have been around for 100 million years.
Now, plastic and rising seas threaten what asteroids couldn’t destroy.

☀️ A pioneering new space weather forecasting modelling suite will enable operational modelling of the upper atmosphere at the Met Office for the first time in a major breakthrough for UK atmospheric science.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

As a theoretical cosmologist, I'm frequently asked "what is the benefit of the work you're doing for people's lives?" Nothing I work on makes money or cures disease.
There are a few different answers one can give, at various levels of "convincing" / "actually relevant to why the work is done."

Feeling exhausted this fall but still want to celebrate all the good things the season brings? We've got a list of simple ideas to make your lead-up to Halloween feel warm, restful and a little eerie.
Oh hey, that's our paper!
Got a phone call late afternoon on Tuesday during my visit to our Wallops Island, VA, ozonesonde site that NWS was immediately halting the 2x daily soundings there (WAL). Indeed they have disappeared from the map starting 1 October: www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/soundi...
Just a reminder that NWS is considered essential during a government shutdown. Meteorologists will still go to work, forecasts will still be made, watches and warnings will be issued, data will flow. We won’t be paid until the shutdown ends, but we’ll still protect life and property as always.
Today marks the first day in public media’s history without federal funding. And we’re not going anywhere.
Listeners like you keep our mission alive. Protect one of the last places where America comes together to hear itself.

The photo features Jane Goodall and infant chimpanzee Flint reach out to touch each other's hands. Flint was the first infant born at Gombe (Tanzania) after Jane arrived. With him, she had a great opportunity to study chimp development. Photo source: https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/jane-goodall/

Question: "If chimps are so much like us, why are they endangered while humans dominate the globe?"
Goodall: "Well, in some ways we're not successful at all. We're destroying our home. That's not a bit successful."

The more a sizable portion of society support degradation of science and the attack on NOAA, the more horrific stories like the ones surfacing from Texas will savage innocent lives when research support and continued atmospheric science advancement could save them.
Eating too much cake is the sin of gluttony. However, eating too much pie is okay because the sin of pi is always zero.
