The attached picture is a snapshot of the current SoCal radar. The concentric circles at Hanford and Santa Maria are clearly artifacts. Does NCEP correct for this?24 Dec 2025 17:58 +0000at://did:plc:awviwrysi2zrc2q2loo53ck4/app.bsky.feed.post/3maqto6m67s27https://bsky.app/profile/michaelfwehner.bsky.social/post/3m3shwan7tk2vNew paper: Assessing the performance of solar radiation management geoengineering simulations at https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11707-025-1180-z22 Oct 2025 18:27 +0000at://did:plc:awviwrysi2zrc2q2loo53ck4/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3shwan7tk2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/michaelfwehner.bsky.social/post/3luvgzmb6zc26Thank you for posting.

I would estimate that there was 7-20% more rainfall than w/o the human interference in the climate. But w/o detailed attribution studies on the storm and associated runoff, we can't know for certain.05 Jul 2025 15:21 +0000at://did:plc:awviwrysi2zrc2q2loo53ck4/app.bsky.feed.post/3lta2pgptwk2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/michaelfwehner.bsky.social/post/3lspwkxpjq22zIt's an older clip (11/01/23) but I think worth posting.
