You can load the IBTrACS global tropical cyclone tracks with one line from our @CloudDrift2 python library:
```from clouddrift.datasets import ibtracs
ds = ibtracs()
```
Check out the demo notebook 👇

🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️Happy Pride Month! At AGU, we celebrate the LGBTQIA+ scientists, students, educators, and allies who enrich the Earth and space sciences with their brilliance, curiosity, and courage.

Science thrives when everyone can bring their full selves to the work of discovery.

🌍✨This month and every month, we stand with our LGBTQIA+ community—because inclusion drives innovation, and representation matters.

1/2 Since the #AMOC is in news, It is a good time to reflect on the hard work that many groups conduct in order to obtain observational estimates of the strength of the #AMOC. The @RAPID_AMOC and @osnap_updates teams organized a workshop in 2025 to review technical approaches

[Shane Elipot @ShaneKahn]

@USATODAY also reports on our recently published research on the weakening of the #AMOC 👇

I am on a USA Today podcast today, talking about the weakening of the #AMOC and the importance of continuing observations https://t.co/dxVaRQoD3j

[Phys.org @physorg_com]

Two decades of deep-ocean measurements at four western Atlantic sites show a consistent decline in deep overturning transport from near the Caribbean to Canada, matching a weakening AMOC. @ScienceAdvances https://t.co/F7xaQB3qdG https://t.co/NQzITPgVGa

[Shane Elipot @ShaneKahn]

Thank you for reporting on our research about the #AMOC at @MiamiRosenstiel

[New Scientist @newscientist]

Measurements by buoys at four latitudes in the western Atlantic provide the strongest evidence yet that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is weakening https://t.co/NwaNl6Zcoj

A nice coverage by @CNN of our article published in Science Advances last week: https://t.co/ZQOxmpXBeM

[Shane Elipot @ShaneKahn]

In conclusion, the #AMOC strength estimated at 26°N is declining, and this appears to be representative of what is happening throughout the subtropical to mid-latitude North Atlantic.

[Shane Elipot @ShaneKahn]

Is the #AMOC currently weakening? A thread. Yes, if you fit a straight line through the time series of AMOC strength derived from the #RAPID array at 26°N, it does, at a rate approaching 1 Sv per decade over the last 20 years.

[Shane Elipot @ShaneKahn]

Such pressure signals from deep western overturning transport may arguably serve as an effective indicator of potential #AMOC changes, even if they are partially offset by signals at the eastern boundary.
