Schreiber drive side dismount has been paying off there tho

Gets at an interesting issue. In trad ESMs, large scale interactions & processes are explicitly modeled via cloud parameterizations, but these large scale features are emergent properties of microphysics in km-scale models, which that may be more strongly nonlinear & harder to investigate via PPEs

but if it's warm rain processes (rather than cold/mixed phase), then rain drops will tend to be smaller. However, in that case, rain water content will be systematically underestimated by reflectivity alone.... so the rain will seem wetter than radar would indicate!

MacKay's book on Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms is one of my all-time favorites! RIP indeed.

The criticism here also applies to the performative aspects of DEIA that I find annoying insomuch as they fail to address any of the structural issues that imperil the most vulnerable people (e.g. early career scientists who lack stability, money, and privilege) in our field

I remember being fascinated (in high school!) by JET and the promise of ITER. Would sincerely love to see this tech succeed and prove wrong my worries that this buzz is an oversell.

progress! 60 years ago we were 30 years away.
