This story originally appeared on Inside Climate News and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. When staffing shortages caused the National Weather Service (NWS) to suspend weather balloon launches at its Kotzebue, Alaska, station earlier this year, a startup deploying next-generation weather balloons, WindBorne Systems, stepped up to fill the void. The company began selling its western Alaskan atmospheric data to the NWS in February, plugging what could have been a critical data gap in w

Renuka Veerasingam believes Elon Musk is humanity’s last hope. “I want to go to Mars, and he is going to take us,” she says. “Space is the final frontier. It’s in our DNA to find the final frontier—to keep going until we get to the edge.” Though Veerasingam is 140 million miles from Mars, she is currently on the edge of Santa Monica Boulevard and North Orange Drive, in the heart of Hollywood, for the opening of the new Tesla Diner, modeled in the likeness of the same kind of retro-futuristic sp

Forecasters to Lose Hurricane Satellite Data at the Worst Possible Time

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-11-02 21:25:10

In one month, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and its National Hurricane Center (NHC) will lose access to critical satellite data that lets meteorologists see inside the eye of a storm. This marks the latest blow to the agency’s forecasting abilities as hurricane season gets underway. In an abrupt move that blindsided meteorologists and public officials on Wednesday, June 25, the Navy’s Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC) announced it was shutt

news.ycombinator.com Eric Holthaus 2025-11-04 03:39:08

A critical US atmospheric data collection program will be halted by Monday, giving weather forecasters just days to prepare, according to a public notice sent this week. Scientists that the Guardian spoke with say the change could set hurricane forecasting back “decades”, just as this year’s season ramps up. In a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) message sent on Wednesday to its scientists, the agency said that “due to recent service changes” the Defense Meteorological Sate

This stuff is way better than super glue (and it's less messy)

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Whether due to being dropped, misused, or aged, broken plastics are a fact of life these days. My weapon of choice in the war against waste and sending things to the landfill has been cyanoacrylate adhesive -- this stuff goes by many names, such as Krazy Glue, instant glue, power glue, or superglue -- and on the whole, it's very good stuff. But it's far from perfect. Also: The $8 accessory you're not using enough for screen repairs and fi

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-11-08 11:35:49

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has spent the last six months in turmoil, with the Trump administration drastically reducing the agency’s nationwide workforce. To make matters worse, the federal government is now demanding money from some former employees. Three ex-NOAA staffers who were fired, rehired, then fired again this spring received notices from the federal government stating they owed a debt for healthcare coverage.

Federal Forecasters Lose Access to Critical Tool as Hurricane Season Begins

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-11-29 21:20:15

As Atlantic hurricane season surges to life, federal forecasters must say goodbye to one of their most valuable tools—Saildrones. These uncrewed ships sail into the hearts of tropical storms to collect real-time data that scientists use to predict their strength and path. For the past four years, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has deployed Saildrones to improve the accuracy of its hurricane forecasts and warnings. The small drone ships have played an especially impor
