These findings are potentially significant when it comes to climate-change policy, explained co-author Gabriel Vecchi, a Princeton professor of geosciences and the High Meadows Environmental Institute and principal investigator in CMI.
Newer #climate models with a higher sensitivity to atmospheric #carbon may not provide a plausible projection of Earth's future climate, @Princeton & @univmiami researchers report. Higher climate sensitivity could lead to more aggressive mitigation policy. environment.princeton.edu/ne…

#Delta become a hurricane, the 9th one of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season. Visit hurricanes.gov for more information. A Hurricane Warning is in effect for portions of the Yucatan Peninsula and Cuba.

Tropical Storm #Delta has formed over the northwestern Caribbean Sea. Additional strengthening is likely and the system is expected to be at or near hurricane strength when it pass near or over western Cuba late Tuesday or early Wednesday. Latest at hurricanes.gov

There are a LOT of circles on this map and we know you all have a LOT of questions about them! 🌀 Send them our way with #HurricaneQuestions and we'll answer them live on the show tonight from 5-8pm ET!

How to explain the frequency of tropical cyclones in different climates? By analyzing the dynamics of pre-TC vortices, we developed a TC-climate relationship that applies to a range of idealized and realistic climates. Check out our new paper at: link.springer.com/article/10…

While climate may play a role in modulating aspects of the size and timescales of a pandemic outbreak, population immunity is a much more fundamental driver, new modeling study reports. @rebaker64 fcld.ly/1zc9grb

I love Dropbox because It is useful to sync my projects so that I can start them everywhere. db.tt/21kUvxQa
