🚨 New paper alert! 🚨
The correlation between ENSO and Tropical Cyclone activity in the Pacific has strengthened in the recent decades.
Meanwhile, there is a multidecadal oscillation in the ENSO-Atlantic TCs teleconnection strength.

Hi - I'd like to share this story of what is happening at NOAA GFDL, where some of my colleagues and I worked until the mass firings at NOAA last week.

I miss this! All memes aside, “I’m still here” is a great movie. Watch it if you have a chance.
This is Brazil celebrating the Oscar for Best International Feature Film for I’m Still Here 🎉 #Oscars

The casing (white stroke) on the ’2023 and ’24 lines in this chart of Amazon River levels by @prinzmagtulis.bsky.social really help the recent record low measurements stand out from the historical data.

Excited to share our new paper! We find that future changes in GhGs & aerosols drive opposing regional changes in TC frequency. Both increase TC intensity & rainfall, with GhGs boosting inner-core rain and future aerosols shifting rain to outer bands #ClimateScience

How do modes of climate variability affect the length of Atlantic Hurricane Season?
- ENSO and Atlantic SST anomalies can affect the date of the first and last TC in the season.
- TC season length may be extended in the future climate under La Nina and positive AMM
