Climate change is adding more bumps to the friendly skies
New research in Weather & Climate Dynamics via @egu.eu: storms are becoming more intense, frequent, & shifting tracks, bringing stronger winds/turbulence, especially during 🛬 &🛫

📝 A variety of precipitation datasets have emerged over the decades. While offering significant opportunities, this abundance of data creates a new challenge: which dataset should we use? 👩🏽💻
