At a tipping point due to #drought? Water from Colorado’s West Slope river basins plays a vital role in supporting the economy and natural environment across seven western U.S. states. @theAGU@EarthsFutureEiC@CornellEng@CEECornell https://t.co/UYZPjUyx1H
Nice feature for our recently published paper:

The Colorado River provides water for drinking and irrigation to seven states. But how will climate change affect it? A new tool from researchers @penn_state, @PNNLab and partners uses modeling to help decision-makers plan for the future: https://t.co/nVSmeELVHi
What's going on out west is absolutely bonkers
10 record highs in a row...and every one of these next 6 days in the forecast is another record high. More than 2 straight weeks with record highs every day
The final data has confirmed that #Helene's moisture plume was the most intense on record for parts of six states: Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.
The integrated vapor transport (IVT) associated with Helene was up to around 1.5 times higher than any previous system in this region since at least 1940.
IVT measures atmospheric moisture transport, such as with hurricanes and atmospheric rivers.
The map below highlights the record-breaking swath and quantifies how much more intense Helene's plume was than the previous record.
1-in-1000 year floods are usually confined to a small area, maybe the size of a city.
The size of the 1-500 & 1-1000+ year flood (recurrence interval) is colassal with #Helene#HeleneFlooding . I can say with great certainty that I have never seen a scope like this in the US!
One of the ways states like Colorado are preparing for the future is by making plans for how things might evolve based on the available science and inputs from various stakeholders,” said Antonia Hadjimichael, Penn State.

@NSIDC 🌀 See a summary of global climate conditions and events in August 2024.
Fifteen named storms occurred across the globe in August, which was near the 1991–2020 average. https://t.co/DkUHoHNcll #StateOfClimate
