Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

Under a resilient ridge, prolonged tule fog episode brings cold and damp weather to the Central Valley but anomalously warm/dry weather elsewhere - Weather West
An increasingly resilient ridge keeps California dry, but with markedly different daily weather in dense tule fog vs non-fog zones, following a very wet and relatively warm autumn Well, the final numbers are now in and they reflect what everyone has been talking about in Southern California: it genuinely was historically wet this fall in
