Temperature anomalies by latitude band in February 2025. Pay close attention to the magnitude of this warmth in the #Arctic (x-axis). This is really jaw-dropping.

[Latitude = y-axis (not scaled by distance). Data from NASA GISS (GISTEMPv4) using a 1951-1980 climate baseline]

🧵 I'd like to share some of the recent and ongoing collaborative projects I’m most proud of from my time at NOAA. Some will continue on in one form or another, but others will not - a direct result of the cuts hitting science across the board.

First off, I acknowledge that I am incredibly lucky to have had such supportive mentors that encouraged me to follow my own scientific and cross-disciplinary interests, as broad as they may sometimes be.

We were developing a prototype for the rapid attribution of extremes in the U.S., with a particular focus on working with communities to understand their needs for this type of information.

This includes a collaboration with civil engineers for infrastructure adaptation: doi.org/10.1016/j.rcns.2024.03…

We were designing new future overshoot climate scenarios using large ensembles with the fully-coupled 25-km version of GFDL SPEAR.

This includes introducing a new cost-benefit framework to understand the importance of the timing of enacting climate mitigation on regional extreme weather events.

We were just starting a collaboration with Princeton Precision Health to explore the intersection between human health and climate through data-driven methods, including AI/ML. A special focus would be to look at both climate prediction and projection timescales using GFDL models and clinical data.

I was excited to mentor a project this summer on evaluating and communicating near-term climate risks for communities across the U.S. for extreme rainfall events, as part of our Cooperative Institute for Modeling the Earth System internship (cimes.princeton.edu/education-…)

We were always thinking about ways to support early careers, provide opportunities for the next generation of scientists, and striving to make science more accessible and equitable for all in our lab.

Looking at temperature anomalies over the last month (left), 3 months (center), and 12 months (right) across the #Arctic... Yikes!

We need to pay for the yearly backups for all of our services and content - gofundme.com/f/paying-for-the-…

This means all of our TROM.tf services (friendica, peertube, nextcloud, etc.), all of our websites like tromsite.com, videoneat.com, tromjaro.com, and so on.

We only need 230 Euros to cover another year of backups. Please if you can help out since we are underfunded and cannot afford to pay for them.

The payment is yearly. We need to pay by the end of this month (March).

Thanks a bunch!

My monthly #Arctic temperature graphics have just been updated through February 2025, which was one of the most anomalous months on record for this region: zacklabe.com/arctic-temperatur…

Temperature anomalies exceeded 10°C above the 1981-2010 climatological average in February 2025 from Svalbard toward the North Pole! 🔥

I just read about more looming cuts coming for certain science agencies right after making this graph. Not good. 🫠

The data for the carbon dioxide (CO₂) growth rate over the last year is now in (gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/gr.ht…).

Submitted the NOAA CCGG pages to the @InternetArchive. They hadn't been archived for a few days.

Just in case ...

Sunday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the lowest on record (JAXA data)

• about 740,000 km² below the 2010s mean
• about 1,340,000 km² below the 2000s mean
• about 1,720,000 km² below the 1990s mean
• about 2,260,000 km² below the 1980s mean

Last Tuesday, I was set to give a talk on 'climate change in the Northeast' at a retirement home but had to cancel due to hourly job threats.

After nearly two weeks of overwhelming uncertainty, today it happened. I was fired from my dream of working at NOAA. I'm so sorry to everyone also affected.

The reasons I was given:
--> I did not demonstrate that my work was in the public interest, and my ability, knowledge and/or skills did not match NOAA's needs.

More soon. It will be okay.

Last month observed widespread warmer than average sea surface temperatures surrounding the #Arctic Ocean ice edge. Some of the largest anomalies were along the coast in the southeastern Barents Sea.

@xtaran asks:

Q5. I recently stumbled upon a library with hammocks on a bicycle and many more "service cycles" at les-zambules.com/ (via mastodon.social/@JasonThorne/1… and mastodon.top/@pierrick_taluy/1…). And today I had raclette from a raclette oven on a cargo bike.

What services on a bicycle have you seen or know of? Post pictures of them if possible.

A mobile bicycle-trailer pop-up library ... with hammocks. Genius.
