Paul Beckwith, a climate science educator, goes through James Hansen's recent warnings about a coming "Super El Niño".
This video (24:48) assumes a small amount of background in math and science, enough to read time/temperature graphs, but is generally quite accessible in its explanations. He walks through a lot of good stuff like how the El Niño / La Niña cycle works, what some of the "forcings" are that are driving some of these things, why things like aerosols matter, what different models show, what the consensus predictions have been and why Hansen's predicting something substantively stronger.
It's a pretty worrisome set of things, but Hansen has been an important voice in the climate conversation, and I think Beckwith's presentation is pretty level—trying to just walk through the information dispassionately in a way that can help you understand the science part.

Transmission spectroscopy of sub-Neptunes was expected to reveal their compositions and hence origins, yet many show flat near- to mid-infrared #spectra.
Such spectra can be explained either by metal dominated #atmospheres or by high-altitude, grey #aerosols.
Observations of escaping hydrogen and helium from several of these #planets rule out metal dominated atmospheres, while homogeneous distributions of small aerosols cannot produce flat spectra and large particles require unphysically high production rates.
Alternatively, modestly optically thick clumps at high altitudes can produce flat spectra even with small particles and physically realistic production rates.
Clumping increases the effective photon mean-free path while reducing wavelength dependence, allowing the #aerosol distribution to behave as an effective grey absorber.
Clumpy aerosol distributions naturally resolve the tension between flat spectra and low-metallicity atmospheres and may be a common feature of sub-Neptune #exoplanets.

Penguin Poo Seeds Antarctic Clouds
Forming clouds requires more than just water vapor; every droplet in a cloud forms around a tiny aerosol particle that serves as a seed that vapor can condense onto. Without these aerosols, there are no clouds. In most regions of the world, aerosols are plentiful — produced by vegetation, dust, sea salt, and other sources. But in the Antarctic, aerosol sources are few. But a new study shows that penguins help create aerosols with their feces.
Penguin feces is ammonia-rich, and that ammonia, when combined with sulfur compounds from marine phytoplankton, triggers chemistry that releases new aerosol particles. The researchers measured ammonia carried on the wind from nearby penguin colonies and found that the birds are a large ammonia source, producing 100 to 1000 times the region’s baseline ammonia levels. In combination with another ingredient in penguin guano, the researchers found the penguins boosted aerosol production 10,000-fold. That means penguins can actually influence their environment, helping to create clouds that keep Antarctica cooler. (Image credit: H. Neufeld; research credit: M. Boyer et al.; via Eos)

Simulating a Sneeze
Sneezing and coughing can spread pathogens both through large droplets and through tiny, airborne aerosols. Understanding how the nasal cavity shapes the aerosol cloud a sneeze produces is critical to understanding and predicting how viruses could spread. Toward that end, researchers built a “sneeze simulator” based on the upper respiratory system’s geometry. With their simulator, the team mimicked violent exhalations both with the nostrils open and closed — to see how that changed the shape of the aerosol cloud produced.
The researchers found that closed nostrils produced a cloud that moved away along a 18 degree downward tilt, whereas an open-nostril cloud followed a 30-degree downward slope. That means having the nostrils open reduces the horizontal spread of a cloud while increasing its vertical spread. Depending on the background flow that will affect which parts of a cloud get spread to people nearby. (Image and research credit: N. Catalán et al.; via Physics World)

💡Curious about aerosols?
📽️ In this video, Philip Stier and Philipp Weiss from #OxfordUniversity describe them.
#Aerosols are tiny particles suspended in the atmosphere, originated from natural sources, like desert dust or volcanic eruptions, or from human-made activities, such as the burning of #fossil fuels. 🏭

#Stability of #influenza A virus in #droplets and #aerosols is heightened by the presence of commensal respiratory #bacteria, J Virol.: https://journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.1128/jvi.00409-24?af=R
#Staphylococcus aureus and #Streptococcus pneumoniae were the most stabilizing compared to other commensals at equivalent density, indicating the composition of an individual’s respiratory #microbiota is a previously unconsidered factor influencing expelled virus persistence.

Lots of folk riled up about something.
If you're in America - this could effect masking in hospitals.
Contacting the offices of your federal Rep & Senator about this committee's behaviour might help.And if the physics of air filtering are acknowledged here then just mayhap you'll get #CleanAir at work and in shops.

As far as the whole segment is concerned, I would have like to have seen much more focus on #AirFiltration.
Remiss to not mention the impact a #CorsiRosenthalBox or 2 could have in classrooms.
Worthy of a full hour.
Oh, and a better explanation as to why governments ignored the warnings about #aerosols.

Slide 7, Quest of the Virosols
Virosols are influenced by airflow and ventilation.
Unlike gravity-driven droplets which are not affected by ventilation, virus-laden aerosols are largely influenced by the airflow and ventilation pattern.

Q. What was the origin of the #pandemic?
A. The origin of the pandemic was:
- governments and medical professionals lying to the public about how Covid spread (#CovidIsAirborne by #aerosols) and refusing to tell anyone how to protect themselves (#N95 #N99 #FFP3 #P100 #P3 #elastomeric #respirator #masks, #HEPA filters, #CleanTheAir)
- and talking nonsense about handwashing insteadThe origin of the virus is irrelevant.
HEPA filters and P100 respirator masks would have prevented the PANDEMIC.

#Aerosols in indoor air can vary in #acidity & the #acidity determines how long viruses remain infectious in the air. New research study from ETH Zurich, EPFL and University of Zurich shows how the pH of #aerosol particles changes in the seconds and hours after #exhalation under different #environmental #conditions. It also shows how this affects the #viruses contained in the #particles. The study appears in the journal Environmental Science & Technology. #Flu #Covid https://www.futurity.org/aerosols-acidity-viruses-2848802-2/

Hello guys! A short intro of me:
I'm an #atmosphericscientist interested in #aerosols in complex systems, especially #bioaerosols (e.g., #microbes, spores, biomolecules, etc.) in the earth system and human society. 🦠 🌧️ 🌊 🤧
----------------
- Currently, I'm a postdoc at #MPIC (Mainz, Germany), supervised by Dr. Yafang Cheng and Dr. Hang Su. 🇩🇪- I study the roles of #bioaerosols in the #atmosphere and the #Earth system.
- I've been developing and/or applying techniques to measure (bio)aerosols, including fluorescence spectroscopy (e.g., #WIBS 🌈 ) and mass spectrometry (#MS, e.g., FT-ICR MS, GC-MS, and AMS 📏 ).
I've also been applying data-mining tools (e.g., machine learning (#ML); #PMF, #PARAFAC, etc.) to reveal those unseen. 💻
Besides, from a wider perspective, I’m also interested in the #chemistry of brown carbon (#BrC), and their impact on the #climate (e.g., the #Arctic #warming). ♨️
And finally, here is my page: https://sites.google.com/view/yuesiyao (still building it 🛠️ 👷♂️ )
