BASC

BASC is the hub for UC Berkeley's research
on the science of the atmosphere,
its interactions with Earth systems,
and the future of Earth's climate.

It’s great to see BEACO2N sensors abroad inspiring change in local communities! Check out this article on how students changed their commute to reduce CO2 and CO emissions:

Using sampling of clouds by aircraft, we show that the supersaturation in convective clouds over the Amazon is too low (~0.2%) to generate substantial warm-phase invigoration of convection by aerosols.

📢 Funded PhD position 📢

I am recruiting a new PhD student to work at the intersection of reduced complexity air quality models (e.g., InMAP) and local/global environmental justice.

Please RT and consider applying to our @BerkeleyCee PhD programs by Dec 15. DM for details.

[Berkeley Environmental Science, Policy & Mngmt @ESPM_Berkeley]

Professor @BanfieldJill and PhD Candidate @Jwestrob, a member of the @BanfieldLab, are out with new research on the linear genetic elements that could play a previously unrecognized role in controlling greenhouse gas emissions.

An unfortunate but spectacular combination of wildfire smoke, a heatwave, and a hurricane. Air quality in the Bay Area is poor today because the cool Pacific air that is coming in from the west has been filled with smoke from the wildfires in northern CA. Further inland, 1/2

[William Boos @BillBoos]

Here’s a job opening for someone with a PhD (or an MA+several years experience) to work on catastrophe modeling focusing on severe convective storms. Yana Bebieva, senior scientist at Verisk, can provide more info -- DM me if you want me to connect you.

Racism from 1930s still influences environmental inequality today. Areas with historical redlining have more air pollution, shows study by @joshapte @haley_m_lane @rmfrosch. https://t.co/qcYLzf4PA7

Reactive organic carbon emissions from cooking and cleaning transform indoor air, and potentially fuel atmospheric oxidation chemistry and secondary pollutant formation @JimmyMattila @chemDelphine #HOMEChem #indoorchem. Read the full ES&T article: https://t.co/mcbZ1PnSWd

[NWS AWC @NWSAWC]

The weather we see each day happens in a layer of the atmosphere called the troposphere. The top of this layer is called the tropopause. Temperatures & winds vary greatly at the tropopause, which creates clear air turbulence. #TurbulenceHazards2021

Need more information about the 2022 NOAA Climate & Global Change Postdoctoral Fellowship Program? UCAR|CPAESS is hosting a NOAA C&GC Application Q&A Session for potential applicants on Oct. 22, 2021 from 10-11AM MDT. https://t.co/zLwPTV3SAR @NOAAClimate #NOAAcgc

[David Romps @romps]

I am resigning as Director of the Berkeley Atmospheric Sciences Center (BASC) @BerkeleyAtmo. To reduce the odds of being mischaracterized, I want to explain my decision here.

[rompsgroup @rompsgroup]

A paper led by Yixiao Zhang and @DorianAbbot, with help from Jonah Bloch-Johnson and @romps, probes the ECS bump in 51 aquaplanet simulations that are equilibrated by fixing the SST and evolving the CO2 concentration. https://t.co/IS2CL61M7R

[William Boos @BillBoos]

Yes, apply to this! Postdoctoral fellowships in all fields at any UC campus ... other schools too, but you really want to come to Berkeley ;)

Just enough time to contact a mentor and write an application before the Nov 1 deadline.

[Andrew Schwartz @snow_d0c]

I'm excited to be giving a seminar tomorrow @BerkeleyAtmo on wildfire and rain-on-snow impacts to #snowpack and water resources!

#Snow is so vital to #California's water and is being largely altered by these events, so we need all the research we can get on them!
