MAJOR UPDATE: All planetary boundaries are assessed, and six are crossed. For the first time ever, scientists have quantified all nine planetary boundaries. Six of them are already transgressed and we are increasing pressure on the others. Read more: buff.ly/45Ps1QG

Here's the landmark 1975 paper in Science by the late Wallace (Wally) Broecker in Science—the first paper to use the phrase "global warming" in its title. science.sciencemag.org/content/189/42…

Big news for NCL users: NCAR is moving to Python as their language of choice now. NCL will now be in maintenance mode as the transition occurs. ncl.ucar.edu/open_letter_to…

What is the roundest country? (From this month’s issue of Math Horizons)

An amazing resource if you want a fast way to look at different observational/reanalysis/modelling datasets! Thanks @gjvoldenborgh

I really enjoyed doing this blog by @myfavethm blogs.scientificamerican.com/roots-of-unity… Talking about #Lorenz equation, #BigMathOff, maths attack room and #Jamaican food! @IMAmaths @evelynjlamb @niveknosdunk @FraserProf @aperiodical. Best comment - "Here comes the Applied mathematician! BOO!! ;-)

Every time it snows on the US east coast, there’s at least one politician or pundit who trots out the old chestnut: “Global warming?! Global cooling, more like!” This episode tackles that myth + explains how climate change affects the polar vortex, too: m.youtube.com/watch?v=nnMJed…

I created a video that tries to explain the connection between #Arctic change, the #PolarVortex and severe #winter weather including #snow and #cold. The occasion of #PolarVortex2019 seems like a good time to release: youtube.com/watch?v=EMeI4N…

This freely downloadable book by Jack Oliver, "The Incomplete Guide to the Art of Discovery", is an unknown gem. It's full of savvy, non-trivial advice about strategies and tactics for scientific discovery, and personal traits and attitudes of discoverers ecommons.cornell.edu/handle/1813/83

Meanwhile, weather prediction, our society's best algorithmic decision support tool, and one of the great success stories of science, continues to improve. science.sciencemag.org/content/363/64…

Please see our study on the circulation response to volcanoes, just out today! There's a clear role of the #stratosphere and eddy dynamics! doi.org/10.1175/JCLI-D…
