Lightning strikes are one of the most common weather occurrences on our planet. While fascinating to observe, lightning can also be extremely dangerous and cause damage to property.

NEWS: In hot water and beyond: Marine extremes escalate. "Because #climatechange has generally been heating the ocean, boosting its acidity, and lowering its oxygen levels, concerns over these regional multi-threat events—known as column-compound extremes—are growing. Now, Joel Wong and colleagues report in AGU Advances that since the early 1960s, column-compound extremes have been intensifying: growing larger in volume, lasting longer, and occurring more often. The team came to these conclusions by using the #CommunityEarthSystemModel to create a computational simulation of the upper 300 meters of the global #ocean from 1961 to 2020. The analysis suggests that triple column-compound extremes—events involving the convergence of extreme temperatures, high acidity, and low oxygen levels—occupied 39 times more ocean volume, lasted three times longer, and were six times more intense by 2020 than in the early 1960s."

Who can quantify the disaster and predict the problem that is coming to avoid the extermination of life on the planet. Let's imagine the big problem that is coming. In 2028 we will reach a temperature of 2°C, which is the optimal temperature to melt the ice of the world's glaciers and will begin to exterminate life on Earth.

Supplies of dissolved oxygen in bodies of water across the globe are dwindling rapidly, and scientists say it's one of the greatest risks to Earth's life support system. Just as atmospheric oxygen is vital for animals like ourselves, dissolved oxygen (DO) in water is essential for healthy aquatic ecosystems, whether freshwater or marine. With billions of people relying on marine and freshwater habitats for food and income, it's concerning these ecosystems' oxygen has been substantially and rapidly declining. https://lnkd.in/dYeYv4wm

Tipping Points haben ganz unangenehme Eigenschaften. Sie sind nicht exakt terminierbar, kommen unvermittelt und sind irreversibel. The most pernicious property of tipping points is that we can’t know for sure where the point is until we have passed it. And once passed, there may be no winding back the clock. That is, if the turning point in atmospheric temperature rise is reached, a high-tech fix – say, one that employs thousands of machines to suck carbon out of the atmosphere in order to get temperatures back into the comfort range – would be too slow to stop the ice sheet from sliding into the ocean.

Our Nordic 12-month #wind index reveals that 2023 was not a windy year. Curious? You can read more about the #weather that caused the low #wind speeds in this post:

The storm raged over #California for more than five days. As the powerful atmospheric river made landfall, furious winds and torrential downpours ripped trees from their roots, turned streets into rivers and sent mud cascading into homes. Along with chaos, the storm brought opportunity. Scientists were ready, on land and in-flight, to deploy instruments that measure atmospheric rivers like this one. They released tools from planes, equipped with small parachutes, or floated them up from the ground attached to balloons, directly into the storm’s path. These small but mighty devices provide key intelligence that will help improve weather forecasts as the #climatecrisis makes already powerful #storms more dangerous. Atmospheric rivers have long been important features of weather systems across the #US west and are vital to replenishing the state’s reservoirs and snowpack. But filled with enough moisture to rival flows at the mouth of the #Mississippi – and often many times more – the strong systems that carry water across the #Pacific also often cause the most destructive #floods. Warming oceans are supercharging the storms, making them deadlier and costlier. This week’s storms killed nine people, caused an estimated $11bn in damage and economic loss, and dumped half of Los Angeles’s annual rainfall on the city in a matter of days. Now, scientists are racing to better understand these systems before they get worse. The work is greatly expanding the accuracy of weather predictions, giving water managers more time to plan and communities earlier warnings to prepare, long before overhead clouds darken, but there’s far more to learn about these systems, especially as the dangers from them grow. Research into these airborne plumes of water vapor pulled from the tropical Pacific has grown dramatically in the three decades since “atmospheric rivers” got their name. But forecasts of where a storm will make landfall can still be off by hundreds of miles, and it’s difficult to predict how particular storms will play out. Scientists are working to make sense of the layered and complicated conversations that happen among the ocean, the atmosphere and the land, and are hoping to gain stronger insights on how, when and where storms will strike. “The more we learn, the more we recognise we need more data about this,” said Maike Sonnewald, the leader of the computational climate and ocean group at UC Davis. Sonnewald, an oceanographer who uses computer science to gain insights about the climate and long-range weather forecasts, added that recent advances in the satellite age helped paint a picture of how the ocean and the atmosphere interact.That picture, metaphorically speaking, still has too few pixels. “We don’t necessarily have a high-enough resolution to be able to model specific things,” she added, explaining that the dynamic nature of the ocean – and how easily small shifts can create big changes in the models – pose predictive challenges.
