Northeast Canada in Feb, perfect spot for the NASA NURTURE field campaign. We’re flying NASA’s GIII plane to observe features in the atmosphere (synoptic scale tropopause polar vortices) that act as precursor to extreme weather, like cold air outbreaks & high impact storms. 📷 from Research Flight 8

It’s always great to chat about the stratosphere. The last major sudden stratospheric warming event to occur in November was in 1968! We might do it again this year. We’ve had a few minor events in since then (e.g., 1996, 2000, 2009, 2016) and they hint at an active wintery December!

If you’re at #AMS2025 consider this town hall! The requirements for a federal government “meteorologist” (the 1340 series) are from the 1990s. Many undergraduate programs use these guidelines in curriculum planning. Modernizing the requirements would close the gap with a modernize curriculum.
