@e_tott_2400 Hi, I’m an old friend of Zdenek. I haven’t been able to get in contact with him. Do you keep in contact with him?

[NOAA Satellites @NOAASatellites]

While millions of people watched Saturday's annular solar eclipse from the ground, @NOAA satellites observed it from space!

Check out what the satellites saw and learn more about #SolarEclipse2023 in this week's #EarthFromOrbit!

Here are all of the rivers and waterways in the USA, coloured according to the major hydrological basins they are part of and scaled by their size. #Matplotlib #Python #DataScience #Data #DataVisualization #USA

[verygoodmaps @verygoodmaps]

Here's a fun little afternoon project. The Americas. I don't see a lot of these going around. First I used GMTED files but it didn't cover Greenland so I grabbed GTOPO30 and used that. With a funky colour scheme. Text from ChatGPT. #geography #americas #maps

This crack gonna be SPICY

[Save the Redwoods League @savetheredwoods]

Fish are returning to streams in Nor Cal redwood forests damaged by decades of logging. Redwoods Rising is not only restoring these forests, but removing logging roads and reviving these lost waterways. Big thanks to our partners @californiastateparks & @NatlParkService

[NOAA Climate.gov @NOAAClimate]

The ocean in May 2023 was record-warm helping surface temperatures in May become the third-warmest May in the 174-yr NOAA record. It is virtually certain that 2023 will rank in the 10-warmest years on record and an 89% chance it will rank among the top 5.

POV: You're flying under San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, the water's gone, and the seafloor is revealed.

The California Seafloor Mapping Program aims to create a comprehensive coastal and marine geologic and habitat base map series for all CA waters: https://t.co/oCChQmMlMS

I just moved to El Cerrito, which is just north of Berkeley, between Motorcycle Hill and the Hillside Natural Area. What is Motorcycle Hill? Other than a great place to hike, it used to be the cite of the National Motorcycle Hill Climb

[John Fisher @JohnAFisher]

People have been asking why CA doesn't have more water storage. Might I suggest the naturally occurring Tulare Lake.

Oh, it's been converted to farmland? Huh...

[Craig Kohlruss @CraigKohlruss]

Drone shots of the formerly dry #TulareLake in Kings County as it fills with floodwater, creating a huge headache for farmers. @FresnoBee story by @fb_LewGriswold: https://t.co/mpCQzZxDGZ

[Lauren Steely @MadreDeZanjas]

Couldn't find a map that adequately showed the hydrology and drainage of Tulare Lake well enough to understand @SJVWater 's fantastic reporting... so I made one. Anyone can use.

California's Ghostly Tulare Lake Will Likely Reappear After All This Year's Rain. A home movie from 1942 captured the return of Tulare Lake when it was revived by heavy runoff from the Sierra.

[Tim Sarquis @TimSarquis]

Tulare Lake is making a comeback.

Once the largest fresh water lake west of the Mississippi, it was dried in 1899 by diverting waters for ag irrigation.

With historic rain and snow, it’s re-emerging. Here’s a few shots from today’s filming in Corcoran, CA.

[Colin McCarthy @US_Stormwatch]

Tulare Lake, once the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River is re-emerging in California's San Joaquin Valley due to huge runoff generated by heavy precipitation in California this winter.

As California's snowpack melts, the lake is expected to grow even bigger.

[NWS Bay Area 🌉 @NWSBayArea]

As we get closer to the most intense part of this system, you may be wondering, "What's the difference between hail and graupel?"

Our colleagues at @NWSSacramento prepared this graphic to show the difference. If it's soft and wet, it's graupel; if it's hard and solid, it's hail.

[Colin McCarthy @US_Stormwatch]

The last widespread snowfall event at sea level in the Bay Area was in 1976.
