In today's edition of Fantastic Friday, we readily acknowledge the critical importance of atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) measurements. We look to @simoneKotthaus and colleague's recent overview on the retrieval methods developed for ABL detection. amt.copernicus.org/articles/…

Atmospheric boundary layer height from ground-based remote sensing: a review of capabilities and...

Abstract. The atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) defines the volume of air adjacent to the Earth's surface for the dilution of heat, moisture, and trace substances. Quantitative knowledge on the...

It seems a lot of people thought that the longest day was always the 21st but it can vary from 20th to 22nd. This year it is 20th at 9:50pm. Next year it is 21st at 3:41am. The solstice today is the earliest summer solstice since 1796. Sunrise this morning in video.

How does air quality and temperature vary across your neighborhood? Using a fleet of mobile sensors, @BrookhavenLab 's Center for Multiscale Applied Sensing (#cmas) is collecting data to quantify air quality and temperature equity as part of @doescience-funded @SW_IFL project.

A #HeatDome is not a scientific term. The term is meant for the everyday public to illustrate: "jet stream behavior that produces ... stagnant high pressure systems" (as communicated by @MichaelEMann in @latimes), resulting in extreme heat: latimes.com/environment/stor…

Heat wave or heat dome? Yes, there's a difference

The term 'heat dome' has gained prominence recently as climate change, El Niño and other variables have warmed global temperatures and shifted weather patterns.

In May of 1974 @NOAA recorded their first atmospheric measurements of #CO2 at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii (red contour below). This complemented independent observations taken by @Scripps_Ocean, which initiated sampling at Mauna Loa in 1958 (blue contour below).
