One of the leading #climate, weather, and #wildfirescience research institutions, #NCAR, is targeted for elimination in what many see as Trump’s political vendetta against CO Gov. #JaredPolis.

Trump’s beef: the jailing of a former county election official in CO, Tina Peters, convicted of giving Trump allies unauthorized access to a voting machine after the 2020 election. Anon White House: “The Colorado governor obviously isn’t willing to work with the president.”

One of Trump’s grudges now threatens America’s weather forecasts

The lab behind America’s best weather forecasts is on the chopping block

Feel free to follow

@noaa_hrrr_smoke_forecast_bot

for a forecast animation of NOAA's HRRR smoke forecast over the CONUS area, published every three hours.

The bot has been up for a few weeks now and is running pretty stably and I am happy to promote it a bit more:)

Similar bots covering Europe and Canada are in the works.

Alberta wildfire-mapping tool points out where communities are at risk

By tracking pathways of fuel sources, Alberta researchers are helping communities in the likely line of wildfire to better prepare for disaster.

AGU 2022 is just around the corner! I’ll be presenting our work on use of geostationary satellite data to understand high-temporal resolution fire behavior on Tuesday afternoon. Looking forward to seeing many folks there!
