New machine learning paper on the use of crowdsourced observations and high-resolution land cover to downscale and bias correct kilometre-scale operational air temperature forecasts to hectometre scale in urban areas. doi.org/10.1002/met.2200

As #MachineLearning continues to progress, will it remain a complement of Numerical Weather Prediction, or eventually a replacement? 🤖⛅️🌧️

A first-hand account of the @MetOffice_Sci Academic Partnership #CMIP6Hackathon from @ChloBrim and me🧑💻 If you are up for a rewarding experience exploring climate data and learning lots from it in a short time, I definitely recommend going to similar hackathons in the future!💡
@brianlo747 & @ChloBrim share their experiences of taking part in the 3-day virtual #CMIP6Hackathon alongside more than a hundred early career climate scientists and enthusiasts 🖥️🧑🏫🌅

Another Social Metwork blog post on #coding and #python! Wish I had some of these tips when I started my research work 😅
Coding lessons for the newly initiated - Daniel Ayers shares better coding skills and tools to enable faster, more useful results. Even #python code 'veterans' may find this useful! 🐍🧑💻🖥️
socialmetwork.blog/2021/04/3…
A post by me, presented in the form of a "dialogue", on some oddities in #Python that may interest the scientific programmer. e.g. How the default behaviours of the standard deviation function are different in numpy and pandas? 🐍🐼 Read on for more puzzles and tips! 🖥️👨💻🧩
Programming jokes are fun...
... but only when executed properly 😅
@brianlo747 writes about the potential problems arising for researchers using #Python, in the style of a 17th century play 😄

Happy that @phenoture has won the #YES20 social media prize! Definitely found it interesting working on a plant idea 🍓as someone with a physics background for the past 9 months with @ChloBrim @_Maureen_AW @sophia_moreton and mentoring from @sywerts @SimonBCutler @UniRdg_KTC 😁 – at Reading, England
My Japanese farm visits tasting pure white corn from Hokkaido, Pione grapes from Nagano and several strawberry varieties from around the country. Glad to bring these fruitful experiences in setting up @phenoture at #YES20 with @ChloBrim @sophia_moreton @_Maureen_AW! @UoNYES
Here at Phenoture Research and Development is very important to us.
@brianlo747 was inspired from a young age visiting many farms, including strawberries.
