Introducing the CHAOS group again, this time on the Bluesky!
This is just awful. Heart goes out to the students who just had their jobs/careers/degrees pulled out from under them
They are really planning to go through with these cuts at Nebraska, despite recommendations not to. Unbelievable.
If you want to hire highly qualified, very successful earth and atmospheric sciences faculty in teaching and research, quite a few are probably looking for jobs for next year.

IMO, the proposed bill to end the shutdown to me puts NOAA in a state of limbo til Jan. 30 with little hope for clarity even then. I breakdown my admittedly pessimistic interpretation of the situation and recap the competing admin and Congressional visions for NOAA: https://tinyurl.com/49dhaf56

Record cold continues to invade the East today, but will be a distant memory by the end of the week. Fung-Wong continues the Philippines tropical cyclone woes.

Our new study finds that the upper atmosphere is becoming more sheared and less stratified because of climate change. Both these changes are making the air less stable and more conducive to turbulence.
