From mid-December 2024 at the LilGayPub on P and 11th. And then I walked to and rode the Metro at night! And I survived!

Today at SciPy 2025 we released Icechunk 1.0, an open source package and specification that enables database-style transactions against petabyte-scale array datasets using only cloud object storage as infrastructure. Read about it on our blog earthmover.io/blog/icechun..., or visit earthmover.io

A year ago, we made an important internal decision which set Earthmover on a new course—we decided to refactor and open source our core technology for storing array-based data in the cloud. This took ...

Precipitable water ranking for the June 2025. Wet, from the standpoint of water (vapor). Record values in parts of the Northeast. [Note: precipitable water is the total column water vapor if it were squeezed into a liquid state.]

Powerful graphic. In a single day on April 25, a DOGE-fueled NSF canceled 340,226 future days of research. Or 932 years. [And that’s just one of three rounds of terminations so far.]

If you benefited from the severe thunderstorm & tornado watches & warnings yesterday, call your Congressional reps and tell them to keep the NWS funded & staffed. Last week, NWS were informed that up to 25% of their staff may be let go - this after they were already chronically 10% *under*staffed.

Two front pages of the Economist. The first is dated October 25, 2024 and says “The Envy of the Workd” and has dollars bill rocketing into the sky in celebration of the US economy.
The second front page is dated this week April 5th. It’s headline is “Ruination Day” and pictures Trump sawing a hole in the group the shape of the US.

An open letter to our fellow meteorologists and climate scientists from our Department Head, Steve Nesbitt

An Open Letter to Our Fellow Meteorologists and Climate Scientists
28 February 2025

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
The news of layoffs at NOAA and other federal agencies has been tough to hear, and I know many of us here in CliMAS are feeling the weight of it. NOAA’s work is at the heart of what we do as meteorologists and climate scientists, and it’s hard to see talented, dedicated people facing uncertainty. Earth scientists are some of the most dedicated people to their profession you’ll find.  Many have dreamed of their careers since they were young, like me, and now those dreams and aspirations have been jarred.
I know this is a difficult time, but the weather and climate enterprise is close-knit, strong and supportive. Whether in government, private industry, or academia, we are all connected, and we stand with you. If you need advice, networking opportunities, or just someone to talk to, please don’t hesitate to reach out us. 
For those in a position to help, let’s do what we can to support our colleagues, whether it be sharing job leads, offering recommendations, or simply reminding them that their work matters. 
To everyone at NOAA, past and present, thank you for everything you’ve done. Your work has made a real difference—saving lives, advancing science, and helping people understand the world around them. You should be proud of your accomplishments and we recognize all of the hard work you do to make our nation and our world a safer place. We value your work, and we in CliMAS are here with you as you take the next steps forward.

With respect and support, 
 
Stephen W. Nesbitt
Professor and Head

Difficult to stress how much it's complete psycho shit to indiscriminately fire hundreds of thousands of young poorly paid federal employees who probably uprooted their entire lives and moved to take jobs in service of their country for absolutely no reason.

NSF's budget is about 10 billion but only has about 1500 employees. Cutting employees will save very little money. The goal is to cripple the US system of generating scientific research, including higher education.

UCAR and NSF NCAR join the ranks of other government-funded entities in closing their DEI offices. An expected but still awful event that will only hurt the atmospheric sciences and future innovation that widely benefits society. news.ucar.edu/133008/ucar-...
A press release that reads: "The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) and the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR) have closed their offices that engaged in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) work, effective today, January 24, 2025, at 8:40 a.m. Mountain Time. The staff in those offices have been placed on paid administrative leave, and all of the organization’s DEI-related work has been ended.

This action ensures the organization, as a federal contractor and an NSF federally funded research and development center (FFRDC), is in compliance with President Trump’s executive orders.

As always, UCAR and NSF NCAR will continue the research needed to improve the understanding and prediction of the Earth system and related natural hazards in a way that protects lives and property and supports economic growth and national security. "

I'm sure climate change denialists are having a rage given the very cold air mass over parts of North America (blue-purple colors). But reality from a global perspective shows this is more than countered by anomalous warmth (yellow-red colors) occurring over Europe, Asia and Alaska.
