Using sampling of clouds by aircraft, we show that the supersaturation in convective clouds over the Amazon is too low (~0.2%) to generate substantial warm-phase invigoration of convection by aerosols. romps.berkeley.edu/papers/pu…

Professor @BanfieldJill and PhD Candidate @Jwestrob, a member of the @BanfieldLab, are out with new research on the linear genetic elements that could play a previously unrecognized role in controlling greenhouse gas emissions.

An unfortunate but spectacular combination of wildfire smoke, a heatwave, and a hurricane. Air quality in the Bay Area is poor today because the cool Pacific air that is coming in from the west has been filled with smoke from the wildfires in northern CA. Further inland, 1/2

Here’s a job opening for someone with a PhD (or an MA+several years experience) to work on catastrophe modeling focusing on severe convective storms. Yana Bebieva, senior scientist at Verisk, can provide more info -- DM me if you want me to connect you. jobs.smartrecruiters.com/Ver…

Reactive organic carbon emissions from cooking and cleaning transform indoor air, and potentially fuel atmospheric oxidation chemistry and secondary pollutant formation @JimmyMattila @chemDelphine #HOMEChem #indoorchem. Read the full ES&T article: go.acs.org/3W

The weather we see each day happens in a layer of the atmosphere called the troposphere. The top of this layer is called the tropopause. Temperatures & winds vary greatly at the tropopause, which creates clear air turbulence. #TurbulenceHazards2021

Yes, apply to this! Postdoctoral fellowships in all fields at any UC campus ... other schools too, but you really want to come to Berkeley ;) Just enough time to contact a mentor and write an application before the Nov 1 deadline.

I'm excited to be giving a seminar tomorrow @BerkeleyAtmo on wildfire and rain-on-snow impacts to #snowpack and water resources! #Snow is so vital to #California's water and is being largely altered by these events, so we need all the research we can get on them! @UCBerkeley
