For context: the global top 10% is anyone with an income of over about 19,500 USD per year in the US (or, adjusted for purchasing power, over about 23'000 CHF in Switzerland or 14,500 € in Germany). The global rich, that likely includes you, dear reader: howrichami.givingwhatwecan.org/how-rich-am-i?…

To successfully plan for the future one must remember the past. In today's edition of Fantastic Friday, we revisit a classic paper by Dr. Gerald Mills of University College Dublin, detailing cities as agents of global change: rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.100…

Is the urban heat island effect always able to induce a distinct local circulation? And if so, how does that interact with topographical and background flows? In this study we use a set of 1km WRF simulations to investigate the physical processes at play: rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/qj…

Predicting El Niño and La Niña is tough, but new research analyzing 20+ years of forecasts finds dynamical models outperform statistical ones, especially for El Niño. La Niña onset? That's been much harder. Read more in our new ENSO blog post! climate.gov/news-features/…

Can we harvest wind energy in cities? URBES_EPFL we used a suite of year-long, high-resolution WRF simulations to explicitly calculate wind energy microgeneration potentials in Lausanne and Geneva, Switzerland. Read more here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/we… #VAWT #windenergy #URBAN
