Surprise atmospheric rivers, toxic seafood: How NOAA cuts could impact California – San Francisco Chronicle

April 25, 2025 satellite image of the Western United States and Pacific Ocean (NOAA/NESDIS/STAR GOES-West composite image, public domain, via noaa.gov).

Several scientific programs in California are slated for significant reductions or elimination if the budget proposal is pushed through Congress. Scientists say the cuts would hamper weather forecasting, disrupt critical ocean data collection and decimate climate research…

Atmospheric river storms are getting stronger, and deadlier. The race to understand them is on – the Guardian

Earth from Orbit: From late Dec. 2022 into Jan. 2023, a series of nine “atmospheric rivers” dumped a record amount of rain and mountain snow across the western U.S. and Canada, hitting California particularly hard. More than 32 trillion gallons of water rained down across the state, and the moisture also pushed into much of the Intermountain West.

As the climate crisis supercharges storms over the Pacific, scientists are creating tools that can measure them from the inside..
