Climate Change and the Equatorial Cold Tongue
A cold region of Pacific waters stretches westward along the equator from the coast of Ecuador. Known as the equatorial cold tongue, this region exists because trade winds push surface waters away from the equator and allow colder, deeper waters to surface. Previous climate models have predicted warming for this region, but instead we’ve observed cooling — or at least a resistance to warming. Now researchers using decades of data and new simulations report that the observed cooling trend is, in fact, a result of human-caused climate changes. Like the cold tongue itself, this new cooling comes from wind patterns that change ocean mixing.
As pleasant as a cooling streak sounds, this trend has unfortunate consequences elsewhere. Scientists have found that this cooling has a direct effect on drought in East Africa and southwestern North America. (Image credit: J. Shoer; via APS News)

Lovely cloudspotting on Mars yesterday, by the Curiosity rover
See these clouds drifting in the following three videos!

Wave Clouds in the Atacama
Striped clouds appear to converge over a mountaintop in this photo, but that’s an illusion. In reality, these clouds are parallel and periodic; it’s only the camera’s wide-angle lens that makes them appear to converge.
Wave clouds like these form when air gets pushed up and over topography, triggering an up-and-down oscillation (known as an internal wave) in the atmosphere. At the peak of the wave, cool moist air condenses water vapor into droplets that form clouds. As the air bobs back down and warms, the clouds evaporate, leaving behind a series of stripes. You can learn more about the physics behind these clouds here and here. (Image credit: Y. Beletsky; via APOD)

Yes I’m currently actively looking for a job. I have a background in mechanical and environmental engineering with an emphasis on atmospheric science. I’ve done data analysis and source identifications for VOCs in urban environments. I also have teaching and mentoring experience for undergraduate level courses. If anyone is looking for support in air quality studies/work, please drop me a line. Not a citizen, but I’m eligible to work in USA (green card). #GetFediHired #engineering #jobSearch #AtmosphericScience

#CitizenScience opportunity: photos of unusual, brightly colored sunsets in the wake of major volcanic eruptions in the recent past can be used to extract color ratios that indicate #aerosol loading of the #stratosphere. In turn, that can help researchers constrain the ash "yield" of eruptions and improve atmospheric models.
If you're interested in contributing, DM me and I will put you in touch with the research team.

Atmospheric Revelations: New Research Reveals Earth’s Ancient “Breath”
Researchers have identified a link between ancient atmospheric shifts and Earth’s mantle chemistry, shedding light on the planet’s evolution.
An international team of scientists has uncovered an important link between Earth’s early atmosphere and the chemistry of its deep mantle.
