U.S. space force may have accidentally punched a hole in the upper #atmosphere 👇️🙄️
#WashingtonPost 📆 February 12, 2022 A #SolarStorm caused #Earth’s #atmosphere to inflate, or puff out.
Think of Earth’s atmosphere like a bicycle tire. When the first solar storm hit, its #magnetic 🧲 field drove currents that caused Earth’s upper atmosphere and particles to move in one direction. When the second surprise solar storm hit, it was oriented in such a way as to cause the motion of Earth’s upper atmosphere to reverse direction. The friction and energy of the two opposing forces released heat in quantities more than models had anticipated https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2022/02/12/spacex-starlink-explainer-storm-sun/

Stratospheric Aerosol Injection: Earth’s Last Chance Dance?

TIL about Eunice Foote. A US scientist and women’s rights campaigner born in 1819.
She was one of the first scientists to say that CO2 played a part in atmospheric warming. Several others independently reached the same conclusion, but Foote has been largely written out of history. For reasons we can probably guess.
#Webb Discovers #Methane, Carbon Dioxide in Atmosphere of K2-18 b
"The abundance of methane and #carbon dioxide, and shortage of ammonia, support the hypothesis that there may be a water #ocean underneath a hydrogen-rich #atmosphere in K2-18 b. These ... observations also provided a possible detection of a molecule called ... DMS. On #Earth, this is only produced by #life. The bulk of the DMS in Earth’s atmosphere is emitted from phytoplankton in marine environments."

When lush deciduous #forests covered the #Arctic

"The forests existed due to the conditions in the #Eocene—a combination of a greenhouse #climate and almost twice the level of #CarbonDioxide in the #atmosphere as there is today. However, the same extreme light conditions prevailed in these regions of high latitude—permanent darkness for months on end in winter and a sun that never set in summer"
A #fireball streaking across the #sky isn't a #UFO. It's a completely normal and natural phenomenon known as a #bolide—a mass (typically a rock) that burns up and disintegrates as it traverses #Earth's #atmosphere. Trying to associate these events with UFOs is misguided, and ultimately damaging to the legitimate study of unidentified arial phenomena.

Can you help point me to useful, ideally accessibly written / presented, material that looks at the limitations of carbon offsetting and the problem of leaving too much carbon in active systems?
(You can see why I may be struggling to find this stuff! Let me try to rephrase)
My limited understanding is that one of the challenges of #carbonSequestration is that it takes a loooooong time for carbon to be passed out of ecological systems and into geological ones. We’ve dug up and burned huge quantities of previously fossilized carbon in an extremely short period of time. If we really want to get atmospheric and oceanic carbon levels below safe thresholds, we need to re-fossilize carbon, not just store it temporarily.
Is that accurate? Where can I learn more? And what can I share with others to help explain it really simply?
Main motivation: help people understand that as important as carbon farming and forests etc are, we need an urgent and extreme reduction in new emissions, so we need both behaviour change (less demand) and electrification (cleaner supply) now.

Hello climate/weather/physics people - can you recommend a book on atmospheric spectroscopy that works for you? Doesn't need to be recent, but does need to cover the zoo of units used. Separate your absorbance from your absorptivity, like. #climatechange #physics #atmosphere
In cased you missed this chart, it shows the predicted increase of #CO2 and #temperature in the #atmosphere (black lines) compared to current observations (red & blue lines).
The prediction was made back in 1982 by ExxonMobil in private documents.
They knew since 1970s that #FossilFuels would lead to #ClimateChange with "dramatic environmental effects before the year 2050.”
Did they care ? Obviously no !
Rotor #clouds over the Swiss #Alps, as seen from Ausserbinn, Canton of #Valais. These are caused by lee #waves (a kind of gravity wave) over #mountains. Extremely dangerous for aircraft, can exist even in clear air. We can see them in this #timelapse thanks to the condensed moisture entrained by wave.
My @GFZ colleague @ingewiekenkamp is now on Mastodon 🎉
She uses #RemoteSensing to study the exchange of #carbon, #methane, and #water between Earth's surface and the #atmosphere.
From her preface: "It is my genuine belief that the only way we will be able to avoid the worst consequences of this emerging existential crisis is if we create a critical mass of people who demand the changes required. For that to happen, we need to rapidly spread awareness, because the general public still lacks much of the basic knowledge that is necessary to understand the dire situation we are in. My wish is to be part of the effort to change that."

A dense rainforest may be what first comes to mind at the mention of #photosynthesis.
Yet the clouds of #phytoplankton that fill the oceans are the major drivers of that process in nature.
The plantlike single-celled aquatic microbes generate more than 50% of the #oxygen in the #atmosphere, and they absorb nearly half of the carbon dioxide, converting it into the glucose, fats, proteins and other organic molecules that nourish the food web of the #oceans.
Some photons a caught on my deck a while ago.

More often this is photographed with the sun as “sun dogs”.
"What makes these most recent temperature spikes so alarming is that they’ve occurred before a forecast #ElNiño event in the Pacific, rather than during one."
"Since 1971, about 89 % of the excess heat in Earth’s climate system has been stored in the ocean (with 6 % on land, 1 % in the atmosphere, and about 4 % going towards melting ice on land and sea)."
When the #oceans give up a little heat the #atmosphere heats up a lot.

This is worth repeating: nearly all the heat from #GlobalWarming goes into the oceans, so water temperatures have been rising steadily.
On top of that there is an #ElNiño developing. This is where the Pacific Ocean burps up heat.
But oceans and the #atmosphere are all connected, so what happens in the Pacific doesn't stay in the Pacific. Weather patterns, winds, pressure systems are affected all over the planet.

With the dense #smoke from #Canadian #wildfires blanketing #NYC today, I've seen a bunch of comments from #Americans along the lines of "Wow, how bad must in be in Canada?"
This is counter-intuitive, but I'm in the Canadian #prairies. There are wildfires across northern #Saskatchewan, #Alberta, and #BC. And we haven't had any smoke here for weeks.
The smoke can go up into the #atmosphere, drift a long way, and then be pressed down to the ground again by a high-pressure system.
I no longer think #hurricanes are the most terrifying of #storms; not even close.
Because we #humans have pumped so much #CO2 (and #Methane) into the #atmosphere, we'll be seeing more storms like this, in more places.
"This is not planet #Earth as we found it. This is a new place—a #fire planet we have made, with an atmosphere more conducive to #combustion than at any time in the past 3 million years."

The Upper Atmosphere Is Cooling, Prompting New #Climate Concerns
A new study reaffirming that #ClimateChange is human-made also found the upper #atmosphere is cooling dramatically because of rising #CO2 levels.
...But the new discoveries about the scale of cooling aloft are leaving atmospheric physicists with new worries — about the safety of orbiting #satellites, the fate of the #OzoneLayer, the unanticipated turmoil on our #weather below.

BOTH of those are 'buried' under a layer of AIR.
The 'atmosphere' is invisible, so it's easy to ignore, but we are all SUBSURFACE dwellers...
Remember when #SavingTheRainforests was seen as unrealistical + idealistic?
"A freshly cleared hectare of the #Amazon fetches an avg price of only around $1,200... Some 500 tonnes of carbon dioxide are pumped into the #atmosphere. By a conservative estimate, that does $25,000 of harm by accelerating #climateChange...
$20bn a year would slow #deforestation significantly. To preserve such a huge #carbon sink—never mind the #biodiversity—this would be a bargain"
