A great video at the end about the etymology of cloud names: cirrus, "curl", stratus, "layer" and cumulus, "pile".
Cumulonimbus!
Luke Howard, who named the various cloud types, was born 250 years ago today.

Such a fantastic week at #imc2022 and the @MtnResearchMRI workshop on elevation dependant climate change. Loads of ideas for new research and collaborations, but first time for a nap!
What a brilliant, inspirational and hopeful list. The Montreal protocol is an obvious one, leading to the recovery of the ozone hole and the only UN treaty to be ratified by every country. There are many more here I didn't know about.

An excellent thread on the ozone hole and Montreal treaty here nitter.gq/JacquelynGill/status/1…

Exciting to see the launch of the new Nightjet as I wait for the classic version to take me back to Innsbruck. I'm very fond of the traditional couchette, but these do look a bit more comfy, and speedy!
The Nightjet reveal event begins at 10, and I’m here. Must be Europe’s first 230km/h sleeper train? #excited? Nope, make that #hoppingupanddownexcited.

A fantastic and beautifully-illustrated explanation of the importance of glacier meltwater in the Peruvian Andes and the impacts globally
Check out our new narrated animation on the socio-environmental impacts of glacial melt in Peru! It's #waterqualitymonth and the @sigmaperu project has been researching water security in terms of both the quantity and quality of glacier-fed rivers ❄️💧🌽 youtu.be/DaztJp5BADk

Had a fantastic time at #EGU22! Great to catch up with so many folk, especially those I'd only met on zoom! From an in-person perspective, the hybrid seemed to work really well, with brilliant talks both in person and remote. Hoping to catch some of the rest online!

Aún quedan plazas en este curso 'ecosistemas andinos y Cambio climático'. También abierto a estudiantes de maestría/doctorado de fuera de Sudamérica, creo, ¡pero la fluidez en español es esencial!

What sort of engineering do we need to help the climate crisis? Sometimes, it's marvels of software engineering like @splitmyfare, which reduced our train tickets to Glasgow to only a bit more than the cost of driving, instead of twice as much. 1/2

Some pretty great speakers at this later today!

It was great to be part of this, surveying scientists & other experts to determine the top social and natural science questions relating to water in the Upper Indus. It was collaborative, interdisciplinary and very interesting! Many thanks to Andrew Orr (@BAS_News ) & @b_zareen

The @imountainconf 2022 deadline is in just two days! Any atmospheric modellers out there, please consider the modelling atmospheric processes session tinyurl.com/IMC-mountain-mod…
So disappointed in my old university @ucl @uclnews for cutting ties with Stonewall's diversity programmes, against the advice of their EDI committee. Stonewall is not a threat to academic free speech, but choosing to reject equality and diversity is.

@oesterreichgvat Hello! I am trying to fill in the pre-travel clearance form to fly from the UK to Austria, but the 'send' button does not work! Can you help me?!
A huge thanks to @Shtacy_Phillips for her amazing Lego art! To find out the science behind the art, come to the CR1.5 session at #vEGU21 at 15:30 CEST today, glaciation and climate change in the Andean Cordillera.
@Shtacy_Phillips has done a brilliant job at representing this glacier from the Cordillera Blanca, and has kindly agreed that we can use her images, so if anyone might need a Lego glacier for outreach, let me know @CatFyf @DuncanQuincey @Caroline_Clason @SRangecroft

@AlokSharma_RDG I hope we can count on you to argue against the government cuts to ODA funding. The "technologies and systems that protect people and nature" aren't always about brand new technology, they're about building a reservoir, or a dam, or a hazard warning system in 1/3

I can't put it better than @Caroline_Clason, but want to add my plea to sign this letter urging a rethink on the cuts to ODA funding.
A heartfelt plea to the global research community to please read and sign this letter. We desperately need the UK government to rethink the ODA funding cuts that are threatening research, collaboration capacity-building, and careers. Please share!

Oh no, it caused enough trouble in climate models at only 8,848.0 m!

Predicting the effects of near-future climate change is tricky due to internal variability of the climate, but this great new paper has managed to show that we would notice the benefits of rapid mitigation in the near-future. well done, @mckennach et al!
Can we even notice the benefits of rapid #GHG #mitigation in the coming decades?
Our new paper @NatureClimate says YES.
Rapid reductions in #GHG #emissions will greatly reduce the risk of extreme rates of #GlobalWarming in the next 20 years

Thanks for sharing @RMetS, great to see this work from my PhD in print!

New Paper with @IanWillis16 and others! While we're all missing #FieldworkFriday, we turned our attention to the fact that debris-covered glaciers are rarely represented in atmospheric models, despite having very different properties to clean ice glaciers
