Roxy Koll (https://twitter.com/rocksea) now focuses on how ongoing Indo-Pacific warming is “warping” the Madden-Julien Oscillation (#MJO) & modifying global rainfall patterns.
Koll ends his talk with the quote: “We don’t inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.” #climatechange
Koll (now focusing on marine heatwaves): We are now observing unprecedented open ocean temperatures in the Bay of Bengal of 32-34°C! Wow 🥵! These warm temperatures fuel cyclones - which in turn can cause sustained (both cool & extreme warm) temperature anomalies over land, associated with stronger updraft.
