Understanding the difference between Standard Deviation (SD) and Standard Error (SE) is crucial for accurate data interpretation. SD measures the variability within your data, indicating how spread out the individual data points are from the mean. In contrast, SE measures the uncertainty around the sample mean as an estimate of the population mean. It reflects the precision of the mean, with SE decreasing as the sample size increases, making your estimate more reliable. The relationship between SD and SE is given by the formula: SE = SD / √(sample size). While SD remains relatively constant with larger samples, SE diminishes, highlighting the reduced uncertainty in the mean estimate. A common mistake in research is using the “±” notation without specifying whether it refers to SD or SE, leading to potential misinterpretation of the data. Clear distinction is essential for transparency and accuracy in reporting. Key Takeaways: • Use SD to describe data variability. • Use SE to indicate the precision of the mean. • Always specify which measure you are reporting.

Building on decades of progress in El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) modeling, researchers have developed a new model that provides accurate ENSO forecasts as much as 16–18 months in advance. climate.gov/news-features/…

Thanks for heads up.

Only horizontally divergent eddy heat fluxes are associated with horizontal heat advection

Pivoting to not answer any difficult questions is the act of a coward.

Remember and ensure this never happens ever again.

@thirstygecko @OceansClimateCU Twitter / X is such a cesspool. The only time I see your @OceansClimateCU science Twitter posts now is when Russian bots and far right do a pile on of disinformation.

A cautionary tale

@JuliusBusecke Stoked to see it selected.

#airseaobs need to resolve fronts and mesoscale gustiness to get correct airsea fluxes. The small stuff matters.

Whoa. I never knew Kermit was such an icon. So much theory of dress.
