ARL is also planned to get chopped. They develop the module used for nuclear dispersion, volcanoes, chemical spills and the like.

Is this the IMPROVE network? I really hope not

It’s critical imo that we reach people as quickly and effectively as possible, especially in hazardous conditions.

BTW by improve I mean drive better interfaces and service mainly driven FROM the private sector. Still I believe it’s NOAAs mission to provide its services where the public can get it to protect life and property. In this day and age the average citizen looks at their phone.

I’ve asked this same question to the WPO and basically was fed something like “We don’t do this so that private companies can do it.” Counter intuitive imho. Would be good to provide it officially and it doesn’t by any means prevent the private sector from doing so. In fact it would probably improve

A few colleagues wrote that one. Way overlooked on the amount of damage these events can bring.

The story by Virginia Gewin @virginiagewin.bsky.social for EOS @eos.org about our study showing the eye-popping cost of over $150 billion per year for the effects of wind erosion and windborne dust is now online.

Currently there are three different models, UFS AQM (regional full air quality model), GEFS-Aerosol (global aerosol model), and HYSPLIT are all operational. UFS AQM and GEFS both use the FENGSHA dust model developed by yours truly. RRFS-SD, soon to be implemented, will also include FENGSHA at 3km!!

Me too!

I have a poster on Tuesday and Wednesday and a talk at the NOAA booth on Wednesday afternoon.

Still further than me
