Congrats to new ASGG student Lucas Hornung!

Interesting question posed by a recent collaborator. Can Second‐Order Numerical Accuracy Be Achieved for Moist Atmospheric Dynamics With Non‐Smoothness at Cloud Edge? - Marsico - 2025 - Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems - Wiley Online Library agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

Yep. Latent Heating Is Proportional to Droplet Radius and Not Droplet Surface Area doi.org/10.1175/JAS-D-…

Amazing precipitation gradient after 3 days of sustained rain in the Bay and Sacramento areas. @CoCoRaHS #CAwx

Thanks to all the @ucdavis students I've had the pleasure to teach who have made the choice to serve as a forecaster in the @NavyOceans and @557thWW.

Great news! All the clocks on campus that were never changed to daylight savings time are now correct.

I don't often say this, but...wow. A simple model linking radiative–convective instability, convective aggregation and large-scale dynamics wcd.copernicus.org/articles/5/115…

Did @Office change the shortcut key combination for 'subscript', or am I crazy?

Now fully published. Processes Controlling the Entrainment and Liquid Water Response to Aerosol Perturbations in Nonprecipitating Stratocumulus Clouds doi.org/10.1175/JAS-D-…

It's officially road tomato season in Davis.

@ameyanaik123 Best fire weather discussion I've seen on here so far.

Altocumulus in the vicinity of a raging #ParkFire highlights the synoptic ascent and mid level instability perhaps bolstering plume development past daytime heating #CAwx

Who wants to join the wolfpack?

Record high heat today in Downtown Sacramento with a high of 113 degrees. Previous record high for the date was 110 in 1961. Modesto tied the record high temperature for today with a high of 110 degrees. Previous was set back in 1961. #cawx

Here's another. Figure 1 is fantastic. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

It's important to remember that "moments" need not be physically meaningful to be useful numerically. Schemes should include conservation laws which may necessitate the use of certain moments, but beyond that, it's all just a game.

Artificially separated "cloud" and "rain" w/ 2 moments each OR "liquid" w/ 4 moments? agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

@gusalaka Nope. Not yet tested in any deep convective environment.

@gusalaka I'll ask Adele how far they've taken things (or have proposed to take things...), but I doubt it. I guess hurricanes are a case where the separation between cloud and rain probably becomes especially arbitrary.
