My time here in Germany is coming to an end. Even though, there are no volcanoes here, I advanced so much in my research towards real-time volcanic monitoring.

Tapping the XKCD sign again to explain that no, I won't be seeing an aurora tonight. Or at least I really hope not. That would be bad. :)
XKCD meaning of auroras cartoon, showing "normal" at poles, "cool and exciting" in temperate zone, "someone should go check on our satellites" in subtropics, and "A bunch of open questions in Solar-Terrestrial physics are about to be answered" at the tropics

The #aurora reached at least as far south as here in El Centro, California, a few miles north of the Mexican border! So cool!
Pink sky with a little bit of yellowish green as seen from the desert.

Okay, time for a much-requested thing: a THREAD OF THREADS. I've now written dozens of these sciencey threads now, and it's increasingly easy to lose them in the scrum of new stuff on here, so - here's a roundup.

First: the mystery of the BONG BONG BONG: bsky.app/profile/mike...

OK, this is wild.

In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.

It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.

What the HELL?

Have you noticed plane turbulence is getting worse?

It’s not your imagination. It’s climate change.
profpaul.bsky.social Prof Paul Williams @profpaul.bsky.social · Oct 14
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.
