Costa's Hummingbird — one of my favorite #hummingbird species!
Interesting to see what the #LoopCurrent is up to right now: looks like it is about to shed a warm-core #eddy — especially considering the prevailing easterlies. Wonder how this might affect the upcoming #Atlantic #storm season...

And here is the corresponding global upper ocean heat content (0 to 700 m depth) now updated through June 2023...

New article out in #Paleoceanography & #Paleoclimatology where we (Chris Maupin & myself) briefly recount how scientists have sought to understand past year-to-year (#interannual) temperature variations in the marine realm: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1029/2023PA004723
Mainly focusing on coral-derived records, we also highlight a recent article by Ong et al. (2022; https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2022PA004483) who add a new #coral genus to the #paleoclimate toolkit.

My favorite paper that I've read this year — a look at how confusion between inferential uncertainty and outcome variability creates all sorts of problems — is now out in PNAS.
Here's the paper: https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.2302491120
Here's the thread I wrote about the preprint last April: https://fediscience.org/@ct_bergstrom/110267907188002904
great summary of what's driving the extreme heat we're experiencing.

@micefearboggis @Ruth_Mottram They are amazing! 🤩
Some people* really have toomuch time on their hands. Bit the end result is this really rather marvellous tour of different #dataviz that will alternately have you laughing crying and quite possibly feeling a little nauseous. You've been warned. Now off you go to take a look..
* @micefearboggis mostly.

This morning's listen: Dark Hall's demo EP - such a fun, unique mixture of #progrock, #funk, #jazz, and bits of #metal. Great to see this demo reissued by #SubcontinentalRecords:

A nice commentary in #NatureMagazine by @loopdlupien about a newly published article on eastern African paleoclimate change by Baxter & colleagues (link: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06272-5) - can simulations of future climatic trends in eastern Africa be reconciled with modern trends?

@markmcelroy Nice idea!
The extent of global sea ice has been consistently setting new daily records for at least the last two months...
