Please join us in Boulder, CO this fall to plan the evolution of coastal ocean observing systems. Observers, modelers, users, and any other interested parties are encouraged to attend. Abstracts and requests for travel support due 31 May.

Off on the morning commute through Oregon Inlet.

@united: The experience for incoming international arrivals to Newark that must transfer from Terminal C to Terminal A is terrible. Why is there no direct transfer available? Please do better.

Here's the replay of #Eclipse2024 from North Falmouth, MA, maxing out at 90%.

Today, the earth shook. On Monday, the sun will vanish. Fun times in the Northeast.

How do scientists 'predict' the complex natural climate phenomenon that is #ElNiño? ⛈️ Dan Rudnick—the director of the Instrument Development Group and a Scripps oceanographer—shares more about the Spray2 glider and how these gliders support ocean observations. ⬇️

[Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) @WHOI]

Recent studies about the potential collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Ocean Conveyer– or #AMOC–have led to misleading news stories about the #GulfStream shutting down.

Plane is overweight for takeoff, so we’re parked on the taxiway with throttles forward to burn off excess fuel. Really @united? Not exactly doing any favors for the planet.

[Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) @WHOI]

Over the past two decades, the #GulfStream has warmed by 2℉ and shifted significantly toward the coast. So what does that mean for New Englanders? #WHOI's @RTodd_Ocean shares his insights with @PNS_News : https://t.co/jEZksQtmLY

[The girl named nat👽 @c0quinator]

How can we improve Coastal Observing Systems to better prepare for climate change at the coasts?

Come join the @USCLIVAR community, @RTodd_Ocean, and me next April, 2024 and help us design climate solutions 🌊💡

Had a chance to comment on the oceanography involved in this fun story of a message in a bottle:

'A treasure.' Message in a bottle from a Cape Cod boy gets a response ... 26 years later. https://t.co/SBNfhagxCd via @capecodtimes

[Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) @WHOI]

Shutdown or slowdown? No, not the federal government - the #GulfStream!

News headlines suggest this crucial ocean current could shut down in a few years—but #WHOI oceanographer @RTodd_Ocean says it's more complicated than the headlines.

Get the facts: https://t.co/cNGdBswb0a

[Robert Todd @RTodd_Ocean]

The #GulfStream will not ‘shut down’. Period.

It can and is changing as the climate warms, but it will always be a warm, fast, poleward flowing current along the East Coast of the US.

Thrilled to report that, as of today, our household has won the two-player edition of 'Academia--The Game'!

Two **tenured** positions in the **same department**!

Thanks to the many letter writers and ad hoc committee members for signing off on us over the last 10+ years!
