@earthscista.bsky.socialAtmospheric circulation over land in a changing climate 💨🌎🌡️ PhD @uniofstandrews.bsky.social w/ Chris Taylor and @simonleewx.com suitable for quant students (physics, math, meteorology). Pls share! iapetus.ac.uk/studentships... @earthscista.bsky.social @iapetusdtp.bsky.social @ukceh.bsky.social
Show PostThe mixing of dry air into rising plumes of warm, moist air helps explain why extremely hot and humid days are increasing in higher-latitude regions. eos.org/research-spo...
Show PostNew research from @roshanjha.bsky.social and @drmichaelbyrne.bsky.social of @earthscista.bsky.social @uniofstandrews.bsky.social
Show PostCounterintuitively, mixing of dry air into convecting plumes amplifies moist heat extremes. This "entrainment" effect strengthens as climate warms and dries, increasing human heat stress. Details in our new paper, led by @roshanjha.bsky.social: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
Show PostWarming temperatures + decreasing relative humidity = more water being sucked from soil / reservoirs = DROUGHT. Simple physics. Europe + UK are on the frontline because they are warming so rapidly – it will get worse until 'net zero' is reached. That's my TED talk 🌍 www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...
