Felt great to present this work at AMOS, thanks again for the award AMOS #AMOS2024

🚨New paper in Nature Communications 🚨 We show that relative temperature extremes (TX90p) as used in many studies can be biased by as much as 50%! The bias arises from the use of too long seasonal windows and can easily be corrected. Details below 1/🧵 doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

Without NOAA we would be badly unprepared for extreme weather and climate events, sailing blind into a dangerous storm. Funding cuts make absolutely zero economic sense. theconversation.com/noaas-vast-pub…

Interesting study on the recent increase in surface melting off West Antarctica. God I miss the fun Antarctic research.

I had an amazing discussion with climate scientist Prof. Matt England today about extreme N. Atlantic warming in 2023, AMOC collapse, & S. Ocean overturning circulation slowdown (which is slowing down faster than the AMOC!). #Oceans #AMOC youtube.com/live/39T7bW7KA… Leon Simons (looking up)

Our piece in The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand today: As US climate data-gathering is gutted, Australian forecasting is now at real risk theconversation.com/as-us-climate-… And it's not just Australia that will lose out. Forecasting all around the world will be set back decades if these cuts go through.
