What are folks go to sources for historic and forecast North American weather data these days? 5 min/hourly by station/location.
My colleague @signeaaboe.bsky.social coordinates a new #ClimateData project for the #EuropeanSpaceAgency : #CCI SAGE !
Her team will build an improved #climate data record of #SeaIce Age (yes, there is new and old sea ice). And yes, older ice is reducing in the #Arctic.

Scientists just found a way to break through #ClimateApathy
In a field of muddy results, it's among the clearest findings that one cognitive scientist has seen in his career.

Excerpt: "Liu worked with professors at Princeton to test how people responded to two different graphs. One showed winter temperatures of a fictional town gradually rising over time, while the other presented the same warming trend in a black-or-white manner: The lake either froze in any given year, or it didn’t. People who saw the second chart perceived #ClimateChange as causing more abrupt changes.
"Both charts represent the same amount of winter warming, just presented differently. 'We are not hoodwinking people,' said Rachit Dubey, a co-author of the study who’s now a professor of communications at the University of California, Los Angeles. 'We are literally showing them the same trend, just in different formats.' "

Truly truly heartbreaking.
Wanton destruction of invaluable climate data work, by the truly evil people running the US government.
The times we live in.

Predicting the extent of invasive Buffelgrass is important for its management. Travis Matlock, a runner-up in the @uazlibraries 2024 #DataVisualization Challenge, in collaboration with the USA NPN, created an informative map that tracks rainfall "events" over a 30-day period to forecast buffelgrass green-up 1–2 weeks in advance. Check out the map here: https://doi.org/10.25422/azu.data.25705419

„Der Ausfall zentraler US-Infrastrukturen stellt Europas #Forschung vor eine strategische Grundsatzfrage: Wie groß darf die Abhängigkeit von internationalen Partnern sein, wenn deren Verlässlichkeit schwindet? Und wie souverän muss #Europa werden, um seine wissenschaftliche Handlungsfähigkeit zu sichern?“ #Forschung #research #climatedata #US https://www.tagesschau.de/investigativ/mdr/usa-forschung-datensicherung-100.html
The #ESOTC2024 press conference offered exclusive insights from #C3S and WMO about Europe's climate trends in 2024. Dive into the full discussion now on YouTube for detailed findings.

We are delighted to announce the selected organisations for a new pilot programme of the #OpenDataEditor. We look forward to seeing ODE in action to ensure the quality of #genomic, #infrastructure and #climatedata in such diverse parts of the world.
