These are what are called undular bores! They're sort of like the ripples you see in a pond when you drop a stone in it, except in this case the surface of the pond is a stable atmosphere and the stone is usually a thunderstorm. Hopefully this answer isn't too bore-ing.

Today the Islamic Republic killed another young protester. Let’s say his nam: #JavadRohi. His only ‘crime’ was dancing and leading a peaceful, protest against Islamic Republic after the brutal murder of #MahsaAmini. The authorities sentence him to three times executions and now

Today, two 6.3 magnitude earthquakes destroyed over 40 villages in the western part of Afghanistan. The death toll is rising quickly. It’s a heartbreaking day for Afghans and many countries across the world.

Another month, another unprecedented climate record. The consequences are all too clear: floods, heatwaves, droughts & storms, all made worse our reliance on burning fossil fuels. Delaying actions to reduce emissions now will commit us all to experience worse future consequences.

The collapse of the great "ocean conveyor" is one of the more likely climate tipping points in the absence of concerted climate action: 🧵

This is me and and my guest on my show both feeling suffocated for covering our hair and face only for a short time. WHY? Try it yourself to understand how it feels to be FORCED to wear hijab and burqa for decades. Recently, Taliban arrested Women of Afghanistan for the crime of

Three #ERA5-based charts you shouldn't miss this month: 📈 Main contributions to 2023 record surface air temperatures - #C3S 📈 Record days over 1.5ºC above pre-industrial in 2023 @LMClimatica 📈 More days at the highest temperatures in 2023 BBC News (UK) via Ed Hawkins

We use 30 year averages to show climatology (average weather conditions). During the 20th century the UK climatology followed a path around a confined box. With #globalwarming and #climatechange they have escaped out the box. This #dataviz shows UK rainfall and temperature.

January 2024 was the warmest January on record. New data from Copernicus ECMWF shows that we've now had: - the eighth record breaking month in a row and - twelve months (Feb 23-Jan 24) with global temperatures more than 1.5ºC above the pre-industrial reference baseline.

January #Temperature highlights from the #CopernicusClimate Change Service (#C3S). Last month: 🌡 was the warmest January on record globally; 🌡 was 0.12°C above the previous warmest January in 2020. For more information 👉bit.ly/3UA6Nna

ECMWF has released a much larger dataset to the public than before. It represents #WeatherForecasts at a higher resolution and includes a reduction in some release times. Find out more ➡️ ecmwf.int/en/about/media…

Extreme contrast. April 2024 will go down as one of the most incredible flips on record in Europe. Summer to winter for some. The warmth broke an enormous number of April records and the cold is now beating some late April records.

Today's ocean heat content in the Atlantic Main Development Region for #hurricanes is typically reached on August 1st. We're currently running about 2.5 months ahead of schedule.

Breaking News!!! Code UFB!!! Yesterday, North Atlantic sea surface temperatures reached 4.43 standard deviations above the 1991-2020 mean, the second highest daily temperature anomaly ever recorded. The peak anomaly happened on February 21, 2024, at 4.47 standard deviations.

Billions of people are currently surviving in temperatures between 45 and 50C. This is "only" at a 1.5C global increase. At 2C, these regions will become unbearable for long periods of the year. The lack of a coherent plan for this is shocking. #Mitigation is urgent.
