Good morning from #Pasadena. 🌤️ & 21ºc (70ºF) forecast again today, so pretty good for February if you ask me :)

A couple days ago, I finally installed the #HummingbirdFeeder and OMG it is literally like a #Hummingbird magnet.

It has attracted this #AllensHummingbird which seems to have made our front garden his home and sits in the #PencilCactus guarding the feeder, though he does wander around and many are still able to come without being chased away.

A little hard to get a clear picture with the #SLR #Zoom I have though. It's truly a beautiful bird and I'd actually never seen one until I installed the feeder!!

Happy #HumpDay

“It allows you to:
👉 Understand sea level change scenarios and visualize potential impacts on a map
👉 Explore water level and flood frequency trends
👉 See the top 10 flood events for your location
👉 Determine what time of the year your community is most likely to experience a flood..”

a Time series of near-global (60° S–70° N) mean SST anomalies, Niño 3.4 (black), the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) index with 1-year smoothing (blue), and a North Atlantic tripole index (brown). Negative PDO corresponds to anomalous positive SSTs in the central N. Pacific. b Near-global ERA5 SST trend, 1980–2022, °C/yr. c Correlation between the Niño 3.4 index and GRACE/FO d(TWS)/dt, the latter lagged 2 months with 4-month smoothing applied. d Correlation between the PDO index and GRACE/FO TWS, 3-month smoothing applied
Map of mascons in which the GRACE/FO era minimum terrestrial water storage occurred after the start of 2015, color coded for the year of that minimum. The time series plotted in Fig. 2 is averaged over the South American region delineated in red
Comparison of ERA5-Land, GRACE/FO, and complementary observations: a deseasonalized time series of global land average (60S-70N) TWS anomalies (mm) from GRACE/FO, ERA5-Land, and ERA5 vertically integrated moisture flux convergence, b ERA5-Land precipitation (P), evapotranspiration (ET), and runoff (RO), c same as b but for GPCP P, GLEAM ET and G-RUN RO. Units in b and c are mm d−1, d 2003–2022 trend in ERA5-Land P-ET, e Same as d but for GPCP v3.2 P—GLEAM 3.6a ET. Units in d and e are mm d−1/yr. All anomalies are relative to the 2003–2022 monthly resolved climatological mean
TWS trends (mm/yr) over the period 2003–2022 in a GRACE/FO and b ERA5-Land; and c correlations of monthly TWS anomalies between GRACE/FO and ERA5-Land. Ice sheets and areas of significant glacial extent have been masked

Acceleration itself may not be constant but here's the best we know now.

"Looking further into the future, the current trajectory suggests rates of 5.0 + /− 1.4 mm/year by 2030, 5.8 + /− 2.0 mm/year by 2040 and 6.5 + /− 2.6 mm/year by 2050. Such rates would represent an evolving challenge for adaptation efforts, and a shift in this trajectory could indicate the need to accelerate or adjust plans that are being put into place."

NatureThe rate of global sea level rise doubled during the past three decades - Communications Earth & EnvironmentGlobal mean sea level rise amounted to 4.5 mm per year as a result of warming oceans and melting land ice, more than twice the rate of 2.1 mm/year observed at the start of satellite data in 1993, based on a sea-level trajectory from altimeter data.
