Very sad news. Warren was a wonderfully kind, warm-hearted man and an absolute pioneer in global climate modeling. I’m grateful to have known him for many years during my time at UCAR/NCAR.

@shanpalus Fun fact: I applied for this job 5 years ago because of a forwarded tweet from Shannon! Listen to her and apply!
