PANGAEA is rescuing numerous datasets scheduled for decommissioning in May. PANGAEA has opened its archive to help safeguard these valuable resources. If you become aware of other endangered datasets, please contact them. Importantly, let others know where to find the data.

Radiosondes on weather balloons are essential for collecting data from the upper atmosphere for accurate forecasting. Due to the mass firing at NOAA, the NWS doesn’t have enough people to launch balloons. 🎈

Accurate weather forecasts save lives.

Your regular reminder that the US air & water pollution laws passed in the 60s & 70s -- and the elaborate federal bureaucracy created to administer them -- constitute one of the most successful gov't interventions in history. WILDLY successful. The envy of the world.

All NWS services: data, forecasts, radar, satellite, IT infrastructure, costs each American taxpayer $4/yr. Less than a latte. And each person gets back 73 x $4 = $292 a year in value for that service.

I think that’s a pretty good deal.

RTD customers ride for free Feb. 4 to mark the work of a civil rights icon
All buses and trains on Regional Transportation District routes will be free to customers on Feb. 4, officially called Transit Equity Day, to mark the contributions of civil rights leader Rosa Parks. Parks refused to give up her seat and move to the back of a segregated bus on Dec. 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Ala., galvanizing the Civil Rights Movement and launching transit equity for all riders.

I hope that in Y2.1K we’ll see the same article about climate change
DAMMIT NPR.

I spent nine months upgrading over TEN THOUSAND desktops at a F500 client. The grand total was over SEVENTY THOUSAND applications upgraded.

Y2K "didn't live up to the hype" because the industry busted ass to duct tape everything first.

People feared the computer glitch would mean "the end of the world as we know it." Thankfully, Y2K didn't live up to the hype after years and billions of dollars were spent on painstaking preparation.

Like oil/water droplets, water/air cloud droplets range in size, 1-100μm. Challenging to measure and model, uncertainty in cloud droplet size distribution cascades to uncertainty in regional and global rainfall and climate change projections.
