The difference between a low emission scenario (SSP126, left) and a high emission scenario (SSP585, right) for the Arctic is immense.
This shows the percentage of CMIP6 models that have sea ice at a given location (>15% concentration), and how it changes over time.
🌞 What makes a good summer?
I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately — and decided to quantify it.
Meet the Good Summer Index (GSI): a data-driven but human-centric score of summer quality, based on things people say they actually enjoy.

Rome on the other hand: Starting from a very good baseline of exceptional summers, but a clear negative trend with hotter and more intense heatwaves detracting from the overall experience.

So how does that line up with your expectations of what makes for a good summer? Can we meaningfully quantify this?

Looking like a quite high risk of a marine heatwave in the northern aquaculture production zones this summer:

Just magical to see the wild Exmoor Ponies gallop through the beaverwoods at Bamff.

The Arctic is rapidly losing sea ice. More open water results in more waves, more wave-ice interaction, and more breaking-up of sea ice. The ForWArd project at the @Nansensenteret aims to quantify and predict this effect. @guiboutin @RDavy84

Catching up on some boundary layer meteorology papers and doesn't this just some up the field:
Most current climate and weather models assume that roughness for momentum and heat are linearly proportional. This is not supported by observations (study 1 (1984) 2 (1987),3(1993),...

It is too simplistic to think that introducing single species (eg, beaver, bison, pine marten) can fundamentally repair degraded ecosystems
Even if we call them keystones
Rewilding is about rebuilding complexity, which includes complex trophic structures

Declining planetary albedo is contributing hugely to the acceleration of global warming, but why is the planet getting darker? This new PhD studentship, with Mark Williamson and me, sets out to answer that vital question. Please retweet.

Been making the case that inter-disciplinary research is not only about physical scientists working with social scientists, artists, etc
But also we need to be better at working across disciplines even within the environmental sciences - ecology, pollution, climate, hydrology...

Yongqi Gao was a good friend and an excellent scientist. His strong passion for collaboration – to promote research and bring together people from different nations and cultures - has left a big mark on the Norwegian-Chinese research collaboration
Honoring Prof. Yongqi Gao’s impactful contributions to climate research across Eurasia, especially on the ocean and cryosphere link.springer.com/journal/37…… We miss you, Yongqi
