#pmel — Public Fediverse posts

In the Air Force in the early ‘80s I worked on a few items that needed assembly code to be entered using a keypad that had 0-9 and A-F… and a one line display.

(I can’t quite remember what other buttons were available but I think there was up / down to review the entered code and return / commit to add a new code and delete to remove a code)

We would write up the assembly op codes to be entered before we started.

All for the chop. #PMEL is already sliced to rags.

We have to be dangerously ignorant, to satisfy certain peoples' needs.

"Reports from western U.S. firefighters that nighttime fire activity has been increasing during the spans of many of their careers have recently been confirmed by satellite measurements over the 2003–20 period. The hypothesis that increasing nighttime fire activity has been caused by increased nighttime vapor pressure deficit (VPD) is consistent with recent documentation of positive, 40-yr trends in nighttime VPD over the western United States...

This study investigates the extent to which each of these factors has been changing over recent decades and, thereby, may have contributed to the perceived changes in nighttime fire activity. Results quantify the extent to which the summer nighttime distributions of equilibrium dead woody fuel moisture content, planetary boundary layer height, and near-surface wind speed have changed over the western United States based on hourly ERA5 data, considering changes between the most recent decade and the 1980s and 1990s, when many present firefighters began their careers...

Our friend Greg co-leader of #NOAA's #PMEL Global Observations of Biogeochemistry and Ocean Physics program (think #Argo) is having his last day there.

Our friend Dan head of [USGS] Global Systems Lab is gone.

#GSL's web page is gone, or unresponsive at this time. Looks as though the whole thing has been vanished.

Changes inflicted for only ~$75M paid as a bribe to the current administration by the #FossilFuel industry.

It would be a good idea to strongly express ourselves at this time.
