Rapid Reaction: Historic Flooding Follows Helene in Western NC - North Carolina State Climate Office
Torrential rainfall from the remnants of Hurricane Helene capped off three days of extreme, unrelenting precipitation, which left catastrophic flooding and unimaginable damage in our Mountains and southern Foothills. It was close to a worst-case scenario for western North Carolina as seemingly limitless tropical moisture, enhanced by interactions with the high terrain, yielded some of
The article below discusses carbon-14 evidence of the strongest solar flare in recorded history (1859 Carrington Event) from high-latitude tree rings. A link to the paper is in the first paragraph of the article. Paper is open access. #dendrochronology #trees #solarstorm

Cool blog post by Bill Line from NOAA/National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service that shows weather satellite imagery during Monday's total solar eclipse. #solareclipse #weather

Dr. Robin TanamachiOn this 50th anniversary of #SuperOutbreak1974, here’s a reflectivity loop from the Covington, KY WSR-57 radar, showing tornadic supercells impacting Cincinnati and Xenia, OH. Though blurry, these images were used to save lives. 16 mm digital transfer from Dr. Ernie Agee’s archives.
Hadley Wickhamggplot2 3.5.0 is out now! https://www.tidyverse.org/blog/2024/02/ggplot2-3-5-0/. There are too many great features (e.g. gradients + patterns, better axes & legends, new coord_radial) to fit in one blog post so keep your eyes open for more posts in the next few days!
Like all recent releases I am now just the messenger and have done nothing meaningful to make this release happen 😀 I'm so thankful for all the hard work by Teun Van den Brand and the other ggplot2 maintainers!
Have an interest in tree rings and the broad applications across multiple disciplines? Check out this excellent talk by Dr. Charlotte Pearson entitled "Put A Ring On It: Dating Trees, Volcanoes, and the Sun." Talk starts at about the 6.5 minute mark. #climate #climatechange #dendrochronology #trees

Renaud ChaputI said it several times, but with Ivory's latest announcement, let me repeat it: we (the Mastodon team) are working on implementing Quote Posts. This is a much more complex feature than showing a preview for a link to a post, which is done at the moment by multiple clients.
It is a complex task and we have been working on defining the feature and the protocol-level details for some time. We are moving forward, and there are fewer hard questions to answers, but progress is there.
New paper from Barnes et al. suggests the eastern U.S. would have warmed more over the last century if reforestation had not occurred. Paper is open access. #climate #climatechange #forests

sam henri goldNew change landing in Mastodon for Android soon! In user testing, people have expressed confusion over “why are all the handles so long?”
We're presenting handles on profile pages in a new style, with the username and server separated. Tapping the server will show you more details, along with a neat easter egg animation when you tap the rows.
@grishka did a phenomenal job on this animation 🙏
