Sources say transfers of employees from NOAA research to other line offices are being denied. Does the administration fear the corrupting influence of those engaged in NOAA research? Or maybe it's punitive? Either way, seems like NOAA research personnel are being blacklisted.

The ENSO blogs (along with the Polar Vortex and Beyond the Data blogs) were a popular part of Climate.gov, accounting for over 15% of the site's traffic. They also, largely, had little to do with climate change, which contradicts assessments that Climate.gov was about stoking climate anxiety. [4/4]

What is the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in a nutshell?

Though ENSO is a single climate phenomenon, it has three states, or phases, it can be in. The two opposite phases, “El Niño” and “La Niña,” require certain changes in both the ocean and the atmosphere...

ENSO is a climate pattern whose influence reaches across the globe, affecting weather, ecosystems, and economies. It is one of the most important drivers of year-to-year climate variability. The EDD, aimed at technical experts, assumes familiarity with meteorological terms and climate dynamics.[2/4]

I suppose if you're going to cut all of research at NOAA, there's no need for a program that supports early career scientists. This will likely also have a chilling effect on what students choose to study in grad school.

Someone may be misinterpreting posts that point out that NOAA alerts don’t go directly from NOAA to your cell phone, but instead are routed through FEMA first who sends them to cell providers who send them along to you.

Alt NOAA Climate @altnoaaclimate.bsky.social · 07/07/2025

I see posts saying that NOAA weather radios are the best way to get alerts because alerts go directly from NOAA to your radio. And posts that explain that cell alerts go from NOAA to FEMA to providers to your cell phone and therefore have many more chances for something to go wrong.
