    'Los veranos en #España tampoco son como antes 🥵

    El verano medio de 2021-2025 ya es 2,1°C más cálido que el de 1961-1965 (ref. 1961-1990). Y no solo sube la media: toda la distribución de días de verano se desplaza hacia la derecha, con más extremos y menos días fríos.

  3. Urban climatology (Climatology 🌍)

    Urban climatology is the scientific study of the interactions between urban environments and the atmosphere. It examines how cities modify local and regional climate through processes such as the urban heat island effect, altered wind flows, and changes in energy and moisture exchanges. The field is strongly linked to rese...

    “Rivers impact the well-being of humans and the environment. As they increasingly face planetary-scale stressors, it is critically important to monitor and understand rivers at the global scale. As the only synoptic resource for global primary data on rivers, satellite remote sensing has recently begun to provide unprecedented opportunities for the monitoring, understanding, and prediction of global river behaviour. Despite these advances, the role of satellite remote sensing in global river science has still not been fully explored. New satellite systems and algorithms will enable substantial improvements in river measurements, provide new answers to long-standing or newly emerging scientific questions, and eventually update basic knowledge of rivers to advance global river science. In this [paper they] explore how remote sensing has been used to study the world’s rivers, examine challenges and opportunities for further advancing our understanding of rivers using existing and upcoming sensors, and identify possible solutions and future research directions…”

  10. Coriolis Effect ✍️

    It explains why objects moving across a rotating world seem to curve from their straight path, even when no visible force pushes them sideways. Imagine throwing a ball straight across a spinning merry-go-round. To someone standing still outside, the ball travels in a straight line. But to someone riding the spinning platform, the ball appears to bend away from its path.

    The same thing happens on Earth because our planet is constantly rotating beneath everything that moves. Air currents, ocean flows, and even long-range projectiles travel over a surface that is turning while they move. This creates the illusion of a sideways force, known as the Coriolis effect.

    In the Northern Hemisphere, moving objects appear to bend to the right, while in the Southern Hemisphere they bend to the left. The effect grows stronger over larger distances and faster motions, but becomes almost unnoticeable in small, everyday movements.

    Scientists use this effect to understand the spinning of hurricanes, the paths of trade winds, and the circulation of oceans. It reveals that motion is not always as simple as it seems when the ground beneath us is constantly in motion itself.
