The T-REX project, featured in #BulletinAMS, helps farmers monitor and sustainably reduce water use in California, with lessons for drier climates around the world. On the blog, we speak with project lead Nico Bambach about how T-REX works: bit.ly/4jIcIjy

Are Boulder’s extreme downslope winds changing? A #BulletinAMS study by Gerald Meehl et al. validates observations of a striking reduction in 100+ mph wind gusts measured in Boulder after 1995; this may be due to temperature changes. Read the study here: bit.ly/3S4XwAM

European lightning deaths skew toward males (77.8%), teens, and SE Europe (especially Bulgaria), finds a #WeaClimateSoc study by researchers at ESSL. Of 1,282 recorded lightning fatalities over 2001-2020, many were farm workers or hikers. Read more: bit.ly/4lJ2LUr

Chang has served as an editor of the AMS Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences and helped organize an Atmospheric and Oceanic Fluid Dynamics conference. He received the AMS Editors' Award and was elected a Fellow.

Social unrest is strongly correlated with climate extremes in India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, finds an #WeaClimateSoc study by Regina Werum Nebraska Sociology et al. Heavy rains, droughts, and high temps were strongly associated with protest activity. Read more: bit.ly/4jQs1GO

A new indicator can aid early detection of agriculturally impactful flash droughts, notes a new study in #BulletinAMS by Koushan Mohammadi & Guiling Wang. Based on soil water deficit (plant-available water), it could make warnings more relevant. More: bit.ly/4jEVjI6

Get to know your colleagues and their research in #BulletinAMS! In the new BAMS Digital Edition: what a modern #AtmosphericScience course looks like, using #CloudSeeding for cloud formation research, the gold standard for #HurricanePrediction, and more: bit.ly/3H3GgtK

A study published in #WeaClimateSoc by Sean Ernst et al found that survey respondents who described their feelings about extreme weather in positive terms (a positive "extreme weather affect") rated significantly higher on tornado preparedness. Read more: bit.ly/442d1Rp

Finally, the research of my student Reading Meteorology linkedin.com/in/jasmine-geo… is published in JPO American Meteorological Society, a collaboration with Ivana Stiperski. RDT inspires a physical parametrization of mixing due to ocean waves and stratification in the ocean mixed layer. journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/…

The AMS Journal "Earth Interactions" focuses on interdisciplinary science about interactions between different Earth systems, including human impacts. Hear from Chief Editor Sonali McDermid about new developments at EI and in the field: bit.ly/3FmsLVi #EarthInteract

🌡️ DROUGHT + HEAT = A dangerous feedback loop! NOAA research shows drought extends #heat waves by 13-48hrs. Dry soils store more heat & reduce cooling evaporation, creating longer exposure to extreme temps. Learn more: bit.ly/45coVZo (via American Meteorological Society) #ExtremeHeat

At solar eclipse totality, flying insects descend. The University of Alabama’s FARM/Doppler on Wheels (DOW) observed “profound and rapid” changes in the atmosphere and insect behavior during the 2017 U.S. total eclipse, according to a new #BulletinAMS paper. More: bit.ly/3HhrdN1

Research published recently in the Journal of Climate revealed that the Pacific Meridional Mode, a climate pattern that operates in the eastern Pacific Ocean, plays a major role in the variability of rainfall in Hawai‘i. More about this study: bit.ly/437NBRr #JClimate

Children and pets are more exposed to urban heat stress. Due to heat radiating from paved surfaces, wet bulb globe temp. is greater at 0.5m above ground vs 1.5m, finds a new #JApplMeteorClimatol study by The Citadel & S.C. Sea Grant Consortium researchers. Read more: bit.ly/43BXnua

Climate “warming stripes” extended into the oceans and the stratosphere: Illustrating temperature changes across the world, the stripes now also show how surface temps interact with those in the upper atmosphere and oceans. Read more in #BulletinAMS: bit.ly/4jtctbk

Indian forecasting improvements are saving lives, according to a #WeaForecasting study. Tropical Cyclone Biparjoy’s 2023 strike on the Gujarati coast was very similar to a 1998 storm that caused 1,000+ deaths. Yet Biparjoy saw no deaths in Gujarat. More: bit.ly/43EUb0N
