It’s been an unusually quiet Atlantic hurricane season so far. @FSU_EOAS atmospheric scientist Allison Wing explains how El Niño is helping suppress hurricane development and why Floridians should still stay prepared.

Got a question about astrophysics, neuroscience and GLP-1s, the weather, or coral reef ecology? 🤔
@FSUartssciences experts on these topics will be available for questions during the next Ask a Scientist event this Friday, Oct. 2!
As part of @RailroadSquare's monthly First Friday festivities, Ask a Scientist brings research to the public, and you can find our experts near the Breezeway Plaza from 6-9 p.m.
▶️ David Collins (top left), a professor in @FSUPhysics, researches the formation of stars by simulating magnetized turbulence in space.
▶️ Linda Rinaman (top right), a distinguished research professor in @FSUNeuroscience and @PsychologyFSU, studies the neurological mechanisms behind food intake, specifically the GLP-1 system.
▶️ Robert Hart (middle left), a professor of meteorology in @FSU_EOAS, conducts research on tropical cyclones, synoptic-dynamic meteorology and more.
▶️ Ryan Truchelut (middle right) earned his doctorate in meteorology from @FloridaState in 2015. Shortly after, he co-founded WeatherTiger, a Tallahassee-based company that provides customized seasonal weather forecasts and full-spectrum decision support for a wide range of markets.
▶️ Amy Baco-Taylor (bottom right), a professor of oceanography and environmental science in @FSU_EOAS, studies deep-sea coral ecology, marine molecular ecology and more.

Congrats to @FSU_EOAS' own @alli_wing, who has won the Atmospheric Sciences Ascent Award from @theAGU! 👏
The award is presented annually, recognizing research and leadership excellence in mid-career atmospheric and climate scientists.
"I'm incredibly honored to receive the award, because it's earned based on the perception of my research by my colleagues in the field," Wing said.
Wing is an associate professor of meteorology and environmental science at @FloridaState, and her work centers on tropical cyclones and tropical convection. ⛈️🌀
"The overarching theme of my research is the clustering of tropical clouds and thunderstorms — its different forms, driving mechanisms, influence on broader climate, and role in tropical cyclone development. For example, recent research from my lab found that interactions between clouds and thermal radiation accelerate tropical cyclone genesis and intensification."

Hot now, cold later? 🌡️
The present El Niño event is predicted to be the strongest on record, and many areas across the U.S. have been feeling the heat. However, it foreshadows an unusually cold and rainy holiday season in the South as El Niño reaches its full strength during the wintertime.

Season five of our Nole Edge podcast is here! 🤩
We sat down with Allison Wing, an associate professor in @FSU_EOAS, to discuss the present El Niño event, which is projected to be the strongest on record, as well the unusually quiet Atlantic hurricane season and other weather phenomena.
To tune in, visit: bit.ly/4xSiUMV. 🎧

What's that over there? Oh, that's just a rapid-scan X-band polarimetric mobile radar, or RaXPol.
Students in this fall's Radar Meteorology course, taught by @FSU_EOAS' Chelsea Nam (pictured in photo one), got to officially deploy @UofOklahoma's RaXPol at @FSUMarineLab!
The mobile, truck-mounted radar is on a two-week journey in the field, where it will track weather data from the ground. The opportunity for students to assist in deployment planning as well as data collection and analysis is part of a newly awarded @NSF grant supporting atmospheric science research.
To learn more about the @FloridaState Department of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Science — including Nam's Tropical Cyclone and Radar Research Lab — visit eoas.fsu.edu.

Back in 2014, @NOAA scientists set out to map previously undocumented areas of the Gulf and found what are now known as tar lilies — rare, flower-shaped sculptures made by natural asphalt seeping up through cracks in the seafloor.
To learn more about how @FSU_EOAS Professor Emeritus Ian MacDonald's research helped identify and inform our understanding of these structures, check out the recent article from @dailygalaxy: bit.ly/4r8Sap6.

Emily Powell, a state climatologist in @FSUCOAPS, was recently interviewed by @TIME!
Spurred by warm temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, El Niño events typically bring colder, rainier conditions and fewer Atlantic hurricanes in the southern U.S.
The current El Niño event is projected to be the strongest on record, reaching peak strength this November and December.
To hear how Powell recommends preparing for a "Super El Niño," visit: bit.ly/4gL9vQb.

You’re probably familiar with how growth rings in trees capture the passage of time on land, but what catalogs the history of our oceans? 🌊
Marine scientists like Neda Mobasher, a doctoral student in @FSU_EOAS, examine the growth bands within coral skeletons to reconstruct thousands of years of climate history.
To learn more about how Mobasher's work supports accurate natural disaster forecasting and climate projections, especially in relation to the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, visit: fla.st/O61PNVUC.

.@nytimes recently featured @FSU_EOAS' Alyssa Atwood and the fieldwork her lab is presently conducting in Kiribati, an island nation about 1,000 miles south of Hawaii!
The @FloridaState researchers are deploying sensors to monitor ocean heat and salinity, as well as track the area’s coral reef bleaching amid the current El Niño event, which is expected to be one of the strongest on record.

While female sea turtles leave the water to lay eggs on sandy beaches, what are the boys up to? 🐢
@FSU_EOAS researchers — including Armando Barsante Santos (slide three) and Mariana Fuentes (slide four) — completed more than 230 free dives off the coast of Brazil to answer that question.
The team discovered two distinct migration strategies among adult male green sea turtles, with some traveling up to 1,000 kilometers after breeding while others remain in the same area year-round.
To check out the full story, visit: fla.st/MIQ0XJ5T.
