It was worth the wait! Anyone close to me knows how much I put into this. Beyond excited for the fascinating results we found! Quantifying Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity to Atmospheric Chemistry and Composition Representations in GFDL-CM4.0 and GFDL-ESM4.1 www.gfdl.noaa.gov/research_hig...

Quantifying Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity to Atmospheric Chemistry and Composition Representations in GFDL-CM4.0 and GFDL-ESM4.1 – Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory
Equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) measures the long-term global surface temperature response to a doubling of preindustrial carbon dioxide. While greenhouse gases are the primary driver of warming...

I’m grateful to be part of this exciting and important collaboration! We linked new isotope data and NOAA GFDL Earth system model simulations to further constrain the timing of the CAS closure. Collaborative integration strengthens our evaluation and understanding of key climate impacts.

5 Reasons NOAA and NASA Cuts Will Be Disastrous for Everyone in the US
The Trump Administration plan to cut research on climate change and extreme weather events, including tornadoes and hurricanes, puts us in peril.

While there’s a long list of things here that don’t sit right with me, the biggest is that I’m supposed to sit back take this and not voice an opinion. That being said, at this point I can only muster WTF? Obviously, this is my personal opinion and by no means reflects NOAA of coarse!

Trump administration officials are recommending the elimination of the scientific research division at the NOAA, according to internal documents and people with knowledge of the situation.

Justification for funding cuts 😳 “Cooperative Institute for Modeling the Earth System I: This cooperative agreement promotes exaggerated and implausible climate threats, contributing to a phenomenon known as “climate anxiety,” which has increased significantly among America’s youth.”

“While GFDL is most famous for its work on climate, the lab has also played a central role in weather forecasting…These models have so-called dynamical cores — the guts that determine how the model’s simulated atmosphere moves from one moment to the next — that were developed at GFDL.”

This is a timely GAO analysis of issues facing the NOAA and AFRC Hurricane Hunters. While the recommendations and summary read bland, the report itself nicely details how we’re barely scraping by with current resources. Forecasts will suffer without new funding, let alone cuts to the program.

Last month observed the 2nd warmest (after 2024) global mean sea surface temperature on record for the month of February. Graphic using @noaa.gov ERSSTv5 data (www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/ext...) 🌊
Green line graph time series of average sea surface temperature anomalies for each February from 1900 through 2025. There is large interannual variability, but an overall long-term increasing trend. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1981-2010 baseline.
