Using AI to understand the Earth System response:
The Forced Component Estimation Statistical Method Intercomparison Project (ForceSMIP) uses statistical and machine learning methods to try to figure out the true forced response, as reflected in the evolving pattern of surface temperature anomalies.

"#Climate models have done well, but they also show some biases. It is essential to improve them in order to understand the impact of #GlobalChange on regional weather", explains @ClimateAnomaly (@usys_ethzh). Statistical and machine learning methods offer one solution 🌎 #SGCD24

Join us next month for a panel discussion on
"Can we rule out internal variability as the main driver of recent tropical SST trends?"

Recording and chat transcript of March's ECS-Cloud Feedback symposium are now available:

After last month's clear-sky session, this month featured great talks by Catherine Stauffer and Brett McKim on cloud feedbacks

New paper in @PNASNews led with @cristiproist shows that a weird spatial pattern of temperature change has slowed global-mean warming since 1980. Because the pattern could evolve in the future, observed warming doesn’t help us constrain long-term warming.

Meet our Speaker Robert Jnglin Wills @ClimateAnomaly @usys_ethzh at the #SGCD24 and discuss what leads some climate change impacts to be robust and others uncertain.

ALT The Swiss Global Change Day is the annual event organised by ProClim where well-known experts present challenges and highlights of climate and global change research covering a broad range of topics. It is also an opportunity to present research results by posters and to discuss them with colleagues. The most attractive and comprehensive posters submitted by students or postdocs will be honoured with a travel award of 1000 francs. Poster can be submitted in the following categories: - Geosphere | Biosphere - Atmosphere | Hydrosphere - Human Dimensions | Sustainability The following experts are going to give a talk: - Valentina Bosetti (Bocconi University) - Sabine Fuss (MCC Berlin) - Robert Jnglin Wills (ETH Zurich) - Géraldine Pflieger (University of Geneva) - Nicolas Senn (University of Lausanne) - Thomas Stocker (University of Bern) - Diana Ürge-Vorsatz (Central European University) (confirmed, subject to change)

Really excited to share our new paper on climate-invariant machine learning science.org/doi/10.1126/scia… to solve extrapolation issues under climate change, led by the great Tom Beucler

Observations from 1980–2020 of near-surface atmospheric water vapor in arid and semi-arid regions don’t match climate models. This gap between expectations and data has major implications for hydroclimate projections, including fire hazards. In PNAS: ow.ly/JFLG50QmrbP

Fascinating (and timely?) new paper on how/why the most extreme #JetStream-level winds will increase substantially in a warming #climate (by 2-3% per °C of warming!). The mechanism? Non-linear changes in meridional *moisture* gradients due to C-C relation. nature.com/articles/s41558-0…

How has internal variability modified decadal trends in the observed Arctic sea-ice cover?
Check out our new paper! 👇 🧵
We disentangle modes of decadal internal variability from the satellite record of sea-ice concentration for both summer and winter. (1/4)

Latest update from @NHC_Pacific on #HurricaneHilary: Tropical Storm Watches in California have been upgraded to Warnings including all coastal areas from LA County southward. Regarding SE CA/SW NV flash flood risk: "...dangerous & locally catastrophic impacts likely." #CAwx
Here are the 8 PM PDT Friday Key Messages for Hurricane #Hilary. Life-threatening and potentially catastrophic flooding likely over much of Baja California and the Southwestern United States this weekend and early next week.

Fantastic paper by @csfan77 and @DDommenget out now in Climate Dynamics!
It really hammers home the idea that tropical circulation weakening results from a rising tropopause, which increases the "energetic efficiency" of convection (i.e., the GMS).

This is so cool - I definitely need to add this to my talks on climate data viz 😄
"With each projection, the distortions of these circles show how shape and area are distorted in different parts of the projection."

The internet has been afire with speculation about a "termination shock" from the recent regulations on sulphur in marine fuel accelerating warming.
In a new @CarbonBrief post @piersforster and turn to climate models to help assess the potential impacts. carbonbrief.org/analysis-how…

Significant flooding now as severe hailstorm continues in Boulder. #cowx
@NWSBoulder Hail now accumulating to depth of 1-2 inches in downtown Boulder. Largest stones estimated sightly greater than 1 inch diameter but very large volume of smaller stones up to half inch. #COwx

I'm at the point where I'm publicly soliciting...creative solutions. Are there institutions out there that actually want to build capacity for scientist-communicators in the many domains that are screaming out for it? This is not a rhetorical question--I am genuinely asking.

The strong cold front ushering in one of the worst December cold outbreaks in modern records finally cleared most of the East Coast, completing a 2-day trek that started with an extreme 40°F drop in 30min in Cheyenne, WY.
Here's the front viewed from hourly temperature change:
