Check out this time-lapse video of waves eroding an ice front from an experiment conducted in our cryogenic wave tank at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The tank is housed in a walk-in freezer, and the waves are precisely controlled. This video captures about an hour of wave erosion.

It's even worse than removing the grant funding for university research (in groups like mine at UC Irvine). NOAA labs and cooperative institutes collect the climate data we use, develop the predictive weather and climate models, and train the students we hire.
This demolishes U.S. climate research.
This demolishes U.S. climate research.
The proposed budget would “eliminate all funding for climate, weather, and ocean Laboratories and Cooperative Institutes.”
Much of the current federal research funding goes to grants for university funding at cooperative institutions, including nine campuses in California, including many UCs.

Any time a fluid under gravity has areas of differing density, it convects. We're used to thinking of this in terms of temperature -- "hot air rises" -- but temperature isn't the only source of convection.

Critical yet often overlooked is that NOAA's Oceanic and Atmospheric Research maintains vital long-term monitoring programs like the CO₂ Keeling Curve that, while essential, often struggle for funding from agencies like NSF that prioritize hypothesis-driven research over sustained observation.
