SCOOP from me: the mass exodus of employees from NOAA is decimating a tiny office that literally keeps our measurements of latitude and longitude accurate — and, former employees tell me, endangers the science of how the US understands global measurements:
Trump Cuts Are Killing a Tiny Office That Keeps Measurements of the World Accurate
A tiny but crucial agency that maintains physical coordinates like latitude and longitude in the US is struggling as the Trump administration forces out federal employees.

From knowledgeable scientists we’ve talked to, RAOBs have the second largest increase in error for upper air metrics when removed, behind aircraft data.
On average, losing RAOBs will decrease mesoscale NWP forecast skill.

Dry cap vs. wet cap
Just because there's CIN does not mean storms will be elevated. In fact, the left profile supports only surface-based storms (given enough dynamic forcing). The right profile supports elevated storms, given buoyant parcels above the boundary layer.

The NWS mission:
“Provide weather, water and climate data, forecasts, warnings, and impact-based decision support services for the protection of life and property and enhancement of the national economy.”
Again: “…for the protection of life and property and enhancement of the national economy.”

Here's a small list of the ways you directly benefit from the National Weather Service on a daily basis.
The agency is a public good that issues critical, lifesaving forecasts and alerts. We must save it from indiscriminate and irreparable damage.

The amount of talent and knowledge that is going to be let go for no good reason whatsoever is maddening. We, as a country, are far worse off without their expertise.
I have now received notification of an HR ticket being opened requesting information about my onboard date, that myself nor my immediate supervisors know anything about.
This is it.
This is it.

"NOAA is taxpayer-funded, so it is a public good – its services provide safety and security for everyone, not just those who can pay for it." CIRES' @cwiedinm.bsky.social and Kari Bowen explain @noaa.gov's role in U.S. weather forecasts. @us.theconversation.com @colorado.edu
NOAA’s vast public weather data powers the local forecasts on your phone and TV – a private company alone couldn’t match it
NOAA operates fleets of satellites, sensors on airplanes and ocean-going buoys, as well as radar, providing the data used by weather forecasters nationwide – and freely available to anyone.
