I'm excited to announce our new #climate #indicators web series, developed by our awesome @NCState_NCICS intern, Alexis. Check out the first video here:
Check out our new series of YouTube videos exploring the @usgcrp #climate #indicators! First up, a short introduction to Indicators: youtu.be/8TSwDyhaE6w

Wholeheartedly agree!
We enjoyed a trip to the U.S. Climate Reference Network station afterwards too. The beautiful fall color made the perfect backdrop.

Part of my job is working with climate indicators - ways that we track how the climate is changing. Read about one of those here:
Climate and weather events cause billions of dollars of economic damages every year in the United States. The @usgcrp Billion-Dollar Disasters indicator shows that these events are happening more often, and this trend is due in part to #climate change.
ALT The bar graph shows the number of individual climate and weather events that caused more than one billion dollars of direct losses each year. The length of each bar corresponds to the annual number of events. These events are binned into seven hazard types, each represented by its own color.

Climate change is driving increases in heavy precipitation across much of the US, and planners need better information about future precipitation events to develop resilient infrastructure. Researchers from NCICS and @NOAANCEI have developed a new tool to help meet that need.

Hot off the press! NOAA's updated State Climate Summaries have just been released.
I'm proud to have worked on this project for the past year with some very talented colleagues at @NCState_NCICS, @NOAANCEI, and @usgcrp.
Finding concise climate information about your state just got easier with the release of the new State Climate Summaries by @NOAA and partners: bit.ly/StateSummaries2022 @NCState_NCICS @USGCRP @StateClimate #ScienceNews #StateSummaries2022
I recently worked with my friend, colleague, and tropical cyclone expert @carl_schreck to develop a new indicator showing changes in Atlantic tropical cyclone activity—a first for the @usgcrp Indicator Platform. Check it out!
🚨 New #climate #indicator just in! 🚨
Check out the Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Days indicator on our Indicator Platform, contributed by @NOAANCEI and @NCState_NCICS, with data from @NHC_Atlantic:

There are many indicators of our changing climate, including temperature of course. I work with @usgcrp to update these each year - go check out the latest data here (spoiler alert: it's getting warmer).
Let’s talk temperature! ☀ Did you know many decades of data from all around the world support our understanding of Earth’s climate? The @USGCRP streamlined catalog covers the basics: globalchange.gov/browse/indi… @NCState_NCICS #GlobalChange

Climate stripes for each country of the world.
Uses GISTEMP country level temperature data prepared by @anttilip obviously inspired by @ed_hawkins
Shows a rolling 10 year average to smooth annual variability and better show the trend.

A new @usgcrp indicator, developed by @NOAA and @EPA, highlights how select fish and shellfish species in the North Atlantic and Bering Sea are shifting northward and to deeper water.

Check out our latest @usgcrp #ClimateChange indicator, which shows how some marine species are moving to cooler waters due to our warming oceans.
A new Marine Species Distribution Climate Indicator has been added to a list of seventeen factors that relate to climate change: bit.ly/USGCRPClimateIndicato… @NOAAFisheries @NCState_NCICS @NOAAClimate
And I was initially disappointed that I tuned in after the 11 run second inning.
Thanks for an incredible game @Braves!
