USGS Volcanoes🌋 @USGSVolcanoes

We know you've heard of a volcano...but how about a volnado? This afternoon, during episode 32 fountaining at Kīlauea the V3 live camera (ow.ly/tSiq50WPZKv) caught this whirlwind kicking up loose ash deposits along the active fountain and flow within Halemaʻumaʻu crater.

Let's hope this is just an outlier, but I suspect it's just the start.

This is neat. Reminds me of the (non-VR) hack where someone put NFC tags in their CD jewel cases to play that CD on Spotify when it was placed on an NFC reader.

Provisional ERA5 global temperature for 17th November from @CopernicusECMWF was 1.17°C above 1991-2020 - the warmest on record. Our best estimate is that this was the first day when global temperature was more than 2°C above 1850-1900 (or pre-industrial) levels, at 2.06°C.

If you want cool early September high temps, I can't do better than what's being forecast. Well below normal temps expected Saturday afternoon. Did I mention how hot early September was last year?

After the Titan accident, curiosity got me learning about the underwater SOSUS listening network and then picking up this book about some of the history of submarine tech. Pretty fascinating stories, and I'm not finished yet. Would recommend.

I am curious why they flew over the VOR at Pt. Reyes and down the coast rather than a more direct route. I can't imagine you'd actually "see" any damage out the window from those altitudes. Maybe this avoids commercial flight interruptions?
