New paper in @SpringerNature Climate Dynamics ➡️ Soil-moisture–atmosphere coupling hotspots & seasonal forecast skill. It shows the potential to improve skill in summer by improving land-atmosphere feedbacks. 🔗 link.springer.com/article/10.100… #ClimateScience #wxtwitter

🌍 Excited to share our preprint on soil-moisture-atmosphere coupling hotspots & their impact on seasonal forecasts! Key: Strong coupling aids prediction, but uncertainties in soil-moisture estimates remain. Read more: doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.… #ClimateScience #WeatherForecasts

It's part of a special collection between @EGU_GMD @ESSD_journal gmd.copernicus.org/articles/speci… focussing on evaluating and improving models in polar regions. Part of @polarprediction project.

🚨New paper evaluating forecast models in the Arctic using research station data is out today. It uses observatory and model output produced as part of the Year of Polar Prediction to understand investigate forecast performance at a number of research stations.

@ClimateDann @OceanFMonteiro @EuniceLoClimate @ClimateSamwell @flimsin @EmilyRBall @PeterAGWatson @_RachelJames @rpancost @AilishCraig @NatalieSLord @olivertrophic Really enjoyable event Dan! Thanks to all the organisers.

20yrs ago Valdes moved to Bristol and our climate/biochemistry group (BRIDGE) was born. We celebrated our anniversary by bringing back many of our alumni. I love co-leading the group with @OceanFMonteiro - life is a lot of fun when you have such friendly and exciting colleagues❤️

Thanks to @UniofReading space weather expert @mathewjowens for tweeting last night. Here's two 360° photos of the aurora (ft. me hanging out the roof of my house in Caversham). From NE-facing window: s.insta360.com/p/59b3ad4e0bbe… And SW-facing window: s.insta360.com/p/64ccefb352e7…

Really good to see @EuropeanMetSoc promoting low-carbon options to attend the annual meeting in Barcelona this year: ems2024.eu/venue_and_atte…

Interesting US perspective on snow sports and shrinking snow cover. Food for thought on a morning looking out in some bare slopes in #Morzine #France

📢Call for abstracts now open for our Workshop on Diagnostics for Global Weather Prediction being held in Reading on 9-12 September. ⏰ Deadline for submissions: 24 March More information about the workshop themes & to submit an abstract ➡️ events.ecmwf.int/e/Diagnosticsf… #diagnosticsWS

Join us at #AGU23 to hear about developments in modelling for numerical weather prediction and fire risk, the Copernicus Climate and Atmosphere Data Store, YOPP data, and work towards the European Green Deal Data Space. For details of #ECMWF presentations➡️ecmwf.int/en/about/media…

Thanks to everyone that rode today #kidicalmass #rdguk #streetsforkidsnotcars So proud to be one of 400+ groups riding this weekend. We’re not (just) cute, we’re a mobility revolution.

@RdgToday @rdgchronicle @AlokSharma_RDG @mayorofreading be great to talk to you about why #rdguk is letting it’s children down. A new school has a 3% target for kids coming by bike 🤯

@Dr_Gilbz HadCM chic!

@jonny_day she's a beauty.

When #climate models do art:

Few more days to apply for this exciting science job position on wave modelling jobs.ecmwf.int/Job/JobDetail?…

With the Tories' climate credentials in disarray, it seems like a good moment to recall this iconic frontpage of the Times from 33 years ago... "Margaret Thatcher called yesterday for a 'giant international effort' to save the Earth from the consequences of global warming"

@essl_ecss @Pre_Temp @arpaveneto @CopernicusEMS Petrifying! How many fatalities from hail strikes in Europe each year?

Last week Thursday's European hail size record was broken again 😲:

Loving this practical guide to cost-effective international low carbon travel!

@ECMWF is looking for a new scientific #leader for its #ECMWF Ocean Wave Model #ecWAM (now available #opensource at github.com/ecmwf-ifs/ecwam) 👉jobs.ecmwf.int/displayjob.asp… Thanks #WISE2023 @FabriceArdhuin & All willing to share this #job announce & help us to reach great candidates!
