Hurricane Helene was a 1-in-1000-year event, and the deadliest tropical system to strike the mainland United States since Katrina in 2005. Read more in our new story map: bit.ly/HeleneStoryMap

The published form of our new attribution study is now out (#OpenAccess): doi.org/10.1088/2752-5… This work looks into the long-lasting heat wave across Texas and Louisiana last summer. This is a part of a broader NOAA effort on attribution. Graphic by cpo.noaa.gov/divisions-prog…

NCICS’s @carl_schreck and colleagues are developing a process for @NOAA to rapidly assess the effects of climate change on specific extreme events. They’ve published results for a 2023 test case in Environmental Research: Climate. Learn more buff.ly/4e8NiYG @IOPPublishing

Research from NCICS and partners shows #climate change made the 2023 drought and heatwave in Texas and Louisiana hotter than similar past events. The team is developing rapid attribution tools to help communities plan for changing climate risks. @NOAANCEI buff.ly/4e8NiYG

.@NCSCO climatologist Kathie Dello says Hurricane Helene was supercharged by climate change and we should expect more storms like this going forward. Learn why. ➡️: ncst.at/fLUW50TRVEH

ICYMI: NCICS is looking for a climate data analyst to join our team in Asheville, North Carolina. This is a chance to use innovative approaches, including AI/ML frameworks, to develop and improve #climate data products. Details: buff.ly/4ae2yTa @NCState @NOAANCEI

We have two remote internship opportunities available: One will support climate assessment efforts, working on #data, #metadata, and communication. The other position will support data-driven research into climate impacts on population health. Details at buff.ly/3XBwnYD

Congratulations to @MagSugg, NCICS's Jennifer Runkle and @douglas_rao, and other researchers on receiving funding for important research on the effects of #climate change on the mental health of young people. A key goal is to inform improved response strategies.

NCICS is working closely with @NOAANCEI on the Industry Proving Grounds initiative, which deploys climate data to help businesses. Jenny Dissen leads retail-sector efforts, working closely with @RILAtweets. noaa.gov/climate-indust…

▶️ RELEASED: State of the Climate in 2023. International report confirms record-high greenhouse gases, global sea level, and ocean heat in 2023. Follow this thread for details. bit.ly/2023BAMSSotC #StateOfClimate2023 @ametsoc @NOAA @NOAAClimate @metoffice @metoffice_sci

@ametsoc @carl_schreck @JohnUehling @climatelaura @GarrettGraham .@NOAANCEI produced the report, which shows that in 2023 greenhouse gas concentrations reached a record high, and the global surface temperature also set a new record—about 1°F above the 1991–2020 average. Read NCEI’s report summary: buff.ly/4dyPo4T

@ametsoc .@carl_schreck co-led the “Tropics” chapter, on which @JohnUehling was an author. @climatelaura edited the North America section of “Regional Climates,” @GarrettGraham was an author on “Global Oceans,” and Jessicca Allen provided graphic design support.

NCICS staffers made crucial contributions to “State of the Climate in 2023,” a major annual report released today by @ametsoc. Read our story: buff.ly/4dKKWji #StateofClimate2023 #BulletinAMS #ScienceNews #climate

Research from @carl_schreck and @JohnUehling on increases in precipitation from tropical cyclones is highlighted in this story on Hurricane #Debby, from @SavannahNow savannahnow.com/story/weather/…

NCICS's @GarrettGraham was one of the contributors to this research on the record-breaking global sea surface temperatures observed in 2023, which included some extraordinary marine heatwave conditions across the globe.

@insideclimate @JohnUehling @carl_schreck @ametsoc NC State Climatologist @KathieDello describes the #climate change influence: "We’re pulling more of that moisture into the air and essentially supercharging the atmosphere. Or, as I like to say, get a cup of coffee and pour in a few shots of espresso.” bit.ly/3LZ5h8t

@insideclimate @JohnUehling @carl_schreck @ametsoc Uehling tells Inside Climate that #Debby is “a classic case of what we’ve seen a lot in recent years…a stalling storm near the coastline that basically dumps rain over the same areas for an extended and prolonged period of time.”

As detailed in this @insideclimate story, the widespread heavy rainfall from Hurricane #Debby is consistent with a trend documented in a new paper by NCICS’ @JohnUehling and @carl_schreck. bit.ly/3LZ5h8t
