The first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize, the first individual to be awarded two Nobel Prizes and still today the only individual with two Nobel Prizes in two different scientific categories: Marie Skłodowska Curie. Skłodowska Curie developed the term radioactivity, discovered the chemical elements polonium and radium and contributed to develop new cancer treatments. For her scientific dedication and remarkable breakthroughs, she was awarded the 1903 physics prize and the 1911 chemistry prize. Learn more: bit.ly/4qGyRS1 #InternationalWomensDay

@NWSBayArea @CA_DWR @NWSReno @NWSSacramento @NWSHanford Better metrics are the Sierra Nevada Precip Indices which capture both rainfall and the Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) of snow events. This plus the reservoirs all being at or above normal give a more complete picture.

How's the state snowpack look? Well🫣 Dig into for yourself @CA_DWR : cdec.water.ca.gov/snowapp/sweq.a… Our colleagues @NWSReno, @NWSSacramento, and @NWSHanford watch this information closely, since the Sierra is in their forecast area. Be sure to follow them as well.

❄️ In the N Hemisphere, reduced winter sunlight at high latitudes leads to colder temps & the formation of ice along the E coast of 🇬🇱 Greenland. 🛰 #CopernicusEU Sentinel-2 #ImageOfTheDay shows the region illuminated by the low sun, which creates typical elongated shadows.

As @chrisd_jones says, cooling from aerosols acted to increase the effective carbon budget per degree of global warming in the 20th century, but is expected to be less important in the future (in all SSP scenarios) - see panel (b) below. doi.org/10.1038/s41467…
