I mean how freaking cool is that. Sheesh.

This is something I have never seen before on satellite. Clouds perfectly outlining roads. Just incredibly neat imagery of Houston, Texas this morning. Massive shoutout to @Emokwx who discovered it.

Spiralling global temperatures (1850-2026) It is exactly 10 years since I first put this animated graphic of changes in global temperature online. #ClimateSpiral It instantly went viral. People watched it over and over again. It still offers the power to shock a decade on.

This is incredible. The new @NASA image release from #Artemis includes a sequence of 'Hello World' still photographs. I've been processing / animating them and here's what the original didn't show us: Satellites, including their solar arrays, lightning storms and dancing aurora!

Hurricane Melissa was about 40 mph stronger because of a warmer Caribbean!? That’s what a new study in pre-print claims (peer-review not completed yet). At the time, Caribbean temperatures were around 1.5°C above average and the study says, without the extra ocean heat, Melissa may have been a Cat 4 instead of a Cat 5. In the study, it’s argued that subsurface ocean water is a better gauge than surface water for intensity. The authors estimate ~30mph more peak wind per 1°C of ocean warming. But an important caveat: their warmer-water experiments kept the surrounding atmosphere basically the same, so this does not mean warmer water automatically translates to that full wind increase in the real world, where factors like wind shear also matter. I interviewed Dr Samantha Hallam at @AMSTropical Paper link in thread…

The most crisp and clear satellite imagery of Super Typhoon Sinlaku’s atmosphere-rattling peak intensity on Sunday. 185 MPH, 890 MBAR, and over ~30 consecutive hours at Category 5 status. One of the most impressive peak strength phases you’ll see.

AMOC is weakening. New Potsdam Institute study: once it collapses, it stays collapsed. The point of no return was 350ppm CO₂. We crossed that in 1988. We're at 430 today. Without the Gulf Stream: US East Coast winters get extreme. Europe loses 7°C. Southern Ocean releases 83 gigatonnes of CO₂. The fossil fuel industry knew about AMOC in the 1980s. Same decade we crossed 350. The EPA just stopped regulating the emissions driving it. #AMOC #ClimateChange #GulfStream #Science #Meteorologist

A dominant, persistent, and record-breaking heat dome. This satellite animation shows the evolution of the ridge over the last 6 days.

What does a #HeatDome look like on satellite? This water vapor imagery from @NOAA's #GOESWest (#GOES18) 🛰️ shows you! Learn more about the historic March heatwave baking the western U.S. in our #SatelliteSnapshot: bit.ly/4rCpraF

108°F in North Shore, CA this week. That tied the all-time US March temperature record. It's March 19th. The equinox is tomorrow. Temperatures across Southern California are running 20 to 35 degrees above normal. Palm Springs is forecast to hit 110°F this week. 110°F is a number that normally doesn't show up until June. California's snowpack is already at ~38% of normal — one of the worst snow droughts in decades. This heat drains what's left in March instead of July. Wildfire season starts 4 to 6 weeks early. The science is unambiguous. Fossil fuels warmed the planet. That warming makes heat waves more frequent, more intense, and longer-lasting. Every degree we've added shifts the baseline higher. #HeatWave #SoCal #ExtremeHeat #ClimateChange #California

The analyzed central pressure at 7 am EST was 966 mb. This is an estimated 41 mb drop in 24 hours compared to yesterday's analysis at the same of 1007 mb.

Many locations in the Northeast US have received over a foot of snowfall since yesterday morning due to a relentless winter storm and blizzard from a powerful nor'easter.

Asteroid 2025 MH348 discovered last year is possibly a trojan of Neptune. #astro 🔭

ON THIS DATE IN 1884: The 1884 Enigma outbreak is thought to be among the largest and most widespread tornado outbreaks in American history, striking on February 19–20, 1884. As the precise number of tornadoes as well as fatalities incurred during the outbreak are unknown, the nickname “Enigma outbreak” has come to be associated with the storm. Nonetheless, an inspection of newspaper reports and governmental studies published in the aftermath reveals tornadoes (or more likely — long-track tornado families) striking Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia, with an estimation of at least 50 tornadoes. In Alabama these tornadoes affected at least eight separate counties across the state from around midday until late evening, resulting in at least 39 fatalities and 116 injuries.

That flow tho.

Sublimation of snow in southeast PA has generated about 30 W/m^2 of surface cooling, which along with snow's radiative properties exacerbates frigid temperatures

The 1991-2020 climate doesn't exist anymore 😟

4 years ago today, the eruption of #HungaTonga was captured by imagery from @NOAASatellites #GOES17/#GOESWest and JMA Himawari-8 -- details on the CIMSS Satellite Blog: cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellit…
