#leapday2024 Find out how an extra day every 4 years affects NOAA's U.S. climate normals.

1st day of meteorological #spring 💐

Critical #fireweather research is being funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law #BIL. This StoryMap in partnership with @NOAAGSL takes at look at what is being planned to improve the prediction, detection, and recovery from wildfires. wpo.noaa.gov/building-towar…

The Great Lakes were feeling the heat this winter as ice cover hit record lows for the second year in a row. In this week's #EarthFromOrbit video, learn how NOAA satellites monitor the Great Lakes from space: nesdis.noaa.gov/news/great-lak…

Happy #PiDay! GSL researchers use pi to compute the area of cloud droplets or haze particles - we treat them as spheres. This helps predict their impact on what sunlight gets to the surface, and what heat from the surface goes into the atmosphere. #nwp #piweather

Happy #PiDay!

Registration is open for #UIFCW 2024 on July 22-26 in Boulder, CO. It will cover the state of #EPIC and the #UFS, UFS Governance, Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning in Numerical Weather Prediction, Data Assimilation/JEDI Integration, and more. wpo.noaa.gov/unifying-innov… #AI
