this is unbelievably horrible, so sorry Chris and everyone at University of Arizona!

Santa Barbara has received more than third of our average *annual* rainfall in the last ~20 hours. This is an historic meteorological, geomorphological, and human event. Hoping everyone is safe. #cawx #santabarbara #AtmosphericRiver

Fourteen inches of rain in less than 48 hours in the mountains above Santa Barbara-- this is approaching a "once-in-1000-year" storm event. The runoff and erosion from this event will alter the streams and hills for decades to centuries to come! #CAwx

Another way of looking at it: not a *single* member of the full ECMWF ensemble indicates the current very wet and active pattern will continue past Jan 20-21. A sustained break is coming, but we still have a solid 7-10 days to go first. #CAwx #CAwater

For folks asking how this compares to our hypothetical "ARkStorm 2.0" scenarios published, a very approximate estimate: we've so far experienced about 1/3 to 1/2 the precipitation we'd expect from such a scenario on a statewide basis. #CAwx #CAwater [1/2] science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Confirmed human toll from wildland-urban interface #MauiFires is terrible (already second deadliest wildfire in modern American history), but grim reports from residents on the ground suggest actual toll is even greater & that there is still minimal outside assistance. #MauiFire

New paper out in @nature today!! Led by the amazing Dr Georgy Falster, with Dr. Bronwen Konecky and Sloan Coats: anthropogenic impacts on the Pacific Walker Circulation insignificant, but volcanoes cause an El Nino-like response nature.com/articles/s4158…

Hello science friends! I'm trying to compile a list of places to access #climate model output for a website I'm developing (coming soon!) and am pretty sure I missed a bunch: who has favorite websites they like to use??

Update: we're hiring! (again) Postdoc position on climate variability's impact on the NOAA Channel Islands NMS, with Cheryl Harrison and @ryanfreedman collaborating! Link at: recruit.ap.ucsb.edu/JPF02659 (apply by Feb 15 for first consideration)
