Looking for a postdoc position, or know someone who is? Interested in cloud feedbacks? @mzelinka and I are recruiting for a project focused on high cloud feedbacks funded through the DOE RGMA program. Feel free to contact us for more information. Please share! https://t.co/IlCVEtd7xO
Today we welcomed Dr. Mark Zelinka from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (@Livermore_Lab) as the 2024-2025 Distinguished Richard and Linda Turco Lecturer
@rupephoto@coxypm@AnuRuhanen This doesn't fully answer the question posed by @coxypm since some of the cloud changes are feedback, some are due to aerosol-cloud interactions, and some are not forced at all. So it is definitely a worthwhile open research question.
Shout out to my co-authors Tim Myers, @D_McCoy_Atmos, @pochedley, Peter Caldwell, @PauloCeppi, Steve Klein, and Karl Taylor, without whom this would not have been possible. And of course to the RGMA program at @doescience for funding this work thru PCMDI at @LLNL
@Tim_AndrewsUK @D_McCoy_Atmos @pochedley @PauloCeppi @doescience@LLnL That is certainly true. @Tim_AndrewsUK stopped us from presenting the original Figure 3 that was "impenetrable" in his words and would have doomed the paper to obscurity.
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Geophysical Research Letters, we highlight the paper by @mzelinka and co-authors published in GRL in 2020.

@cristiproist @hausfath@benmsanderson Agreed, though my recollection was that it didn't make much difference in practice when we Haus-filtered by ECS rather than TCR
@cristiproist @hausfath@benmsanderson One would think the link between ECS and warming around the time of doubling in a 1%/yr compounding CO2 run would be tighter than between ECS and transient warming during the recent historical period, no?
@cristiproist @hausfath@benmsanderson I'm confused. Sherwood, Webb, et al (2020) also derived a posterior TCR range that is essentially identical to IPCC's [1.5 to 2.2K, see Table 11] but which did not rely on observed warming rates to arrive at that constraint.
