Heat Wave Trends in Canadian Regions Despite their widespread impacts, there has been limited work to quantify how heat waves have changed in Canada. With no standard definition of a heat wave, we consider two different types of heat ...

That would be interesting to find out. Not directly related but the Berkley dataset was used recently in a trend comparison analysis but for heat waves in Canada using the 3rd Gen Temp dataset up to 2020. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

CanCPLD: Convective Parameters and Lightning Data to Support Future Thunderstorm Projections in North America Scientific Data - CanCPLD: Convective Parameters and Lightning Data to Support Future Thunderstorm Projections in North America

Happy to have contributed to this recently published work, compiling a multi-decade dataset with lightning flash totals and 201 convective parameters for North America, with my colleagues at ECCC to support research on thunderstorms and their future changes.

Canada’s Fourth Generation of Homogenized Surface Air Temperature and its Trends for 1948–2023 This study presents a newly developed homogenized temperature dataset aimed at enhancing the reliability of the observed temperature records for computing long-term trends. The dataset includes two...

I’m pleased to share our recently published paper on the development of Canada’s fourth-generation homogenized surface air temperature dataset, led by my colleague H. Wan #ClimateChange #HomogeneityTesting #Climate #Trends #SurfaceAirTemperature #OpenAccess

BLUESKY MEGA-THREAD

Altmetric is thrilled and also LITERALLY RELIEVED to officially announce:

We are now tracking research attention as it happens on Bluesky!

We have been picking up posts on the site since late Oct.

Our team is on Bluesky all day answering questions.

Let's get into it!

An Australian convective wind gust climatology using Bayesian hierarchical modelling - Natural Hazards To quantify the hazard or risks associated with severe convective wind gusts, it is necessary to have a reliable and spatially complete climatology of these events. The coupling of observational and g...

My 2nd PhD paper expanded the severe convective #wind gust climatology created using #SOMs by utilizing #Bayesian hierarchical modelling and @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social's ERA-Interim #reanalysis to create a spatially complete #climatology for #Australia: 1979–2015. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Application of Self-organizing Maps to classify the meteorological origin of wind gusts in Australia Across much of the world, wind gust data are continuously measured by Automatic Weather Stations (AWS). However, the meteorological origin of individu…

During my PhD at #UQ I used the machine learning technique of Self-Organizing Maps to automatically classify wind gusts from 1-min observational data across #Australia. This was used to create an Australian climatology of severe convective wind gusts. #SOM #ML

Hello Bluesky, I'm a Climate Data Analyst at #ECCC. I hope to use this account to share #research past, present, and future. I currently work on #data #homogenization in #Canada with interests in #weather extremes, specifically #wind. 🌬️👨‍💻☀️
