"Imagine the future..."

Ironic and likely iconic photo shared by Tom Hallock, professor at USF. South of downtown St. Petersburg, FL, which was about 115 miles (at the closest) to a Category 2 (at the time) hurricane, August 30, 2023.

Photo looking to the north from the middle of 3rd Street South, South of downtown Saint Petersburg, Florida. Gray turbulent skies frame the image, with a tall condominium in the background and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration building to the left side. The only thing that allows you to discern a street is the lines of small live oaks lining the street with light poles and power cables. The street, curb, and sidewalk are hidden by about 3 feet (1 meter) of water from Hurricane Idalia, which passed about 115 miles to the west as a Category 2 hurricane. On a light pole a sign hangs with the words, "Imagine the Future, St. Pete." Unfortunately, coastal cities like Saint Petersburg will have a future of increased flooding as climate warms and sea level rises.

A thread about the extreme anomaly in Antarctic sea-ice extent this year, the present state of knowledge on the reasons for it and why further research is important.
I find the sharp downward trend in Antarctic sea-ice extent that started 7 years ago deeply unsettling, which is why I toot about it a lot.

@alexwild I *just* visited the National Museum of Anthropology in México City (fresh on my mind — yesterday!) and boy, hands down, my favorite and most impressive museum I’ve ever visited! Why? The collections are MASSIVE and the exhibits are so well curated; indigenous peoples and civilizations of Mesoamerica are represented excellently in space & time. To top it all off, the architecture is stunning!

Palm Springs just recorded its heaviest hourly rainfall on record, and intense tropical downpours could continue for hours in the Coachella Valley. Urban and flash flooding will further escalate in coming hours throughout the SE CA deserts. #CAwx t.co/Im37SgdzNf

Montevideo, the Capitol of Uruguay and home to about 2 million people, is out of water in the midst of a prolonged drought. The government is trying to secure bottled water as an emergency measure.

Interesting to see what the is up to right now: looks like it is about to shed a warm-core — especially considering the prevailing easterlies. Wonder how this might affect the upcoming season...

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

Data (anomalies) and methods from ncei.noaa.gov/access/global-oc

Line graph time series of global ocean heat content for the 0-700 m layer for 3 year averages (red line), yearly averages (black line), and five years averages from the late 1950s to 2023 (blue line). There is a long-term warming trend. Ocean heat content is measured in 10^22 Joules with a y-axis range form -10 to 30.

New article out in & where we (Chris Maupin & myself) briefly recount how scientists have sought to understand past year-to-year () temperature variations in the marine realm: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.co

Mainly focusing on coral-derived records, we also highlight a recent article by Ong et al. (2022; agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.co) who add a new genus to the 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: pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.

Here's the thread I wrote about the preprint last April: fediscience.org/@ct_bergstrom/

great summary of what's driving the extreme heat we're experiencing.

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..
