The BAMS State of the Climate report shares the latest, reliable measurements of Earth’s system, with input from 590 scientists across 58 countries. Explore many of the datasets on the CGD Climate Data Guide. 🔗 lnkd.in/gvgP2Ryx

🌊 NSF NCAR hosted the first CROCODILE & MOM6 Workshop at the Mesa Lab in Boulder, bringing together 30 scientists for a week of collaboration and hands-on modeling. 🌎 Teams are developing tools to build regional ocean models in hours, not weeks. Watch recordings: lnkd.in/gmibERzU

🌊 In 2012, CGD’s Aixue Hu showed how closing the Bering Strait in models affects Atlantic currents. Today, Science revisits this idea, asking if a giant dam could help keep Europe warm. Why it matters: ocean gateways, tipping points & bold ideas all collide. 🔗 lnkd.in/gS_sHikw

🌍💧 New models reveal the secret life of water!

SCI-SWIM, led by Rice & NCAR with NSF support, tracks where rain comes from using stable water isotopes — tracing moisture from oceans to clouds to ice sheets.
