We developed a Potential Climate Damage Index - the number of metrics that show trends that could adversely impact the yield, sweetness, color, cosmetic damage, storability or other characteristics that affect marketability. The top apple producing US county has experienced up to 5 harmful trends.

🍎New paper on compounding climate risks to high-value tree fruit production in the U.S, led by graduate student Shawn Preston. We examine climate metrics specific to the phenology of apples 🍎 but findings are relevant for similar tree fruit.

⚡New paper on predicting #lightning 🌩️ in the western US using CNNs with @dmitri-climate.bsky.social @zacklabe.com @climate-guy.bsky.social and others.

Key finding: CNN are quite skillful at predicting lightning here.

We are using these to develop projections of lightning-ignited #wildfires🔥.
