The climate crisis we face today wasn't inevitable, and we have the receipts.

Talk about microclimates. There is a 10 to 15F gradient west vs east side of Arlington

Every river in North America, every day for two years. The combined flow to the sea sinks as low as 53,000 m³/s in winter and swells past 290,000 by late June, more than quadrupling each spring. Data: GloFAS, @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social #rivers #dataviz #hydrology

I tried again. Much clearer. First focused on Vega. Hooked a lithium battery to the seestar to power the anti dew heater and ran until midnight. Ps my genatori are from Lucca

Looking at our solar production today I see it was less due to high clouds. All helps moderate the surface energy balance in our favor

I am in the same boat. Learning how to use it. We are along the coast so lots of fog. So dont get as much practice. But clear nights are outstanding bortle 4. Just learned autofocus on a bright star. And check seestar facebook page. Quite good

Wonderful. Thanks for sharing. Nice motivation to aspire for a clearer image with a longer exposure. Seestar is fun eh

We had a really clear night with the autumn heat spell. Ideal night to capture M33 the Triangulum galaxy, 3 million light years away. Stacked 90 min exposure. Will try and add more stacks in the future

Adventures in the East Bay Wildland Urban interface. This morning we found a dead deer in our backyard. Despite the many thousands of dollars we pay for property i learned that we now need to pay $225 for the county to remove it It will be hot and i worry it will attract decomposers

A lot of people have asked! And here is my attempt to deliver. Some numbers and timing on how wet this winter may be with the historically strong El Niño taking shape www.sfchronicle.com/weather/arti...

sfchronicle.com

Here’s when and where California could get the most rain this winter as powerful El Niño builds

California’s winter prospects are unusually wet as the potentially historic El Niño looms, and the latest forecasts are starting to put numbers on what that could mean.

This Chart is striking. Strongest El Nino’s on record VS the forecasts from our best seasonal models. Historically the strongest El Nino’s dating back 170 years peaked with a monthly ocean anomaly in the mid-high 2’s. Now 9 of 10 of our national models have 4°C + for late fall. #elnino 1/

We have a personal connection to the Running Fence. My grandparents operated a dairy near Valley Ford. Their property was the location of the infamous Gaver Gap. Yesterday we were able to get a swath of the fence's fabric. The piece my Mom had was lost, like my baseball cards 😊

Permafrost (frozen ground) is thawing, triggering huge changes across Alaskan landscapes. Find out how and why as I trek across collapsing permafrost bogs. I write more about this and other climate trends like underground zombie fires that outlast winter in Bogland (wwnorton.com/books/bogland).

Now that the summer peak is behind us, we can confidently conclude that 2024 will retain its title for warmest day on record, with 2023 coming in 2nd and 2026 coming in a close 3rd. August was nonetheless the warmest month on record, as a growing El Nino event adds to steady ongoing warming.

'A staggering marine heatwave is ongoing off Baja California, where waters are up to 14°F (8°C) above normal. NOAA is categorizing it as a severe to locally extreme marine heatwave. These very warm waters extending up to SoCal are helping drive the region’s record-humid summer' Colin McCarthy [x]

If it were up to the current administration alone we would have lost this record. “But how it was saved is also a warning about how easily it could have been lost.”

Ah California and its microclimates. We dont have ac as our weather is often moderate by cool winds coming through the Golden Gate. Tonight is an exception. Tmax was 100 F. And now there is a 10 F gradient between the bottom of the Berkeley Hills to the top, over a distance of about a mile!
