#Meteorologist

I don't suppose a few of you scientists here on Mastodon, could get together and organise a massive weather event over Mar-a-Lago by any chance? Just something that totally wipes out a few acres?

It would be ideal if witnesses could watch a blobby fat chap, with fake hair, being swept up and disappearing off into the stratosphere.

I have become a "very angry taxpaper" in the United States as I watch how the federal government is trying to become more...efficient?

What happen today with #NOAA is not right at any level. As a TV #meteorologist, I see them as colleagues in this crazy #weather world, all trying our best to try to understand it.

What was the highest ever computed forecast in an #WeatherForecast ensemble member – eg for #Lytton in Canada?
You recall: they had over 49°C on June 29 2021.
Did a forecast ensemble member foresee that "perfect storm" in Lytton? Did a member go even higher?

Ideally, I'd like to see the all-time forecast maxima °C in ensemble members of the past 4 years. As a global map with a good colour scale that is easily translatable to °C on the map. As a bonus: max 6h cumulative precipitation.
Or a clickable map maybe: click a location to see all-time max computed °C and date.

From such a map, we can feel ourselves into the worst-case scenario for the next 4 years or so: how impacts on anthroposphere and biosphere might spread across regions, and how that might play out in society, geo-politics, climate policy.

I don't have a clue wrt where to even start such a project. Is a data digger or #meteorologist among you who would do it?

I'm so glad I dove headfirst into meteorology without knowing just how complex the math involved was. My high school didn't offer calculus, and freshman year was an entire year of calculus, followed by a year of differential equations sophomore year, and then you finally started real meteorology classes junior year. We were 4 classes from a math minor without trying to be, and the complex math lasted all the way through grad school. If I had known I'd be doing math that involved more Greek letters than Arabic numerals, I bet I would have chosen a different path... I was too focused to do anything else... 😄

Driving home earlier this evening and caught this absolutely WILD #rainbow that formed on the west face of the #Sacramento #Mountains in #NewMexico over Alamogordo underneath a thunderstorm on the mountain.

I believe that white dust is from White Sands National Park, which is to my left in this photograph. It seems to be reflected off of that. Wind was high.

Gorgeous.

Any #meteorologist here have a name for it?
