Hi - I'd like to share this story of what is happening at NOAA GFDL, where some of my colleagues and I worked until the mass firings at NOAA last week.

"...the birthplace of weather and climate forecasting"

This could be devastating to U.S. weather forecasting. #SaveNOAA

The Trump admin has informed #NOAA that two buildings that are critical for weather forecasting will have their leases canceled.

Dismantling the NOAA isn't just a travesty for the fired WRKs, it endangers ppl around the world.

The Trump admin has informed NOAA that 2 pivotal centers for weather forecasting will soon have their leases canceled.

One of the bldgs is the nerve center for generating nat. weather forecasts.

The #NOAA employee said the cancellations -along with recent layoffs, early retirements, & travel & hiring limitations- point to an effort to🚨dismantle the agency.

Hmm, wonder how much of the US radar network will go down this week for lack of ability for buying replacement parts. 🤔 #wx #noaa

Some NWS offices are already suspending their twice-daily weather balloon / radiosonde launches because they won't have the personnel. What difference does that make? If we don't get data from the various levels of the atmosphere, then the numerical weather prediction models won't have as much information, which means the computer guidance will be less accurate, which will then lead to less accurate human forecasts. These incompetent, unqualified people who are firing hard-working scientists indiscriminately don't have the first clue what these cuts will do. I used to launch these radiosondes myself in college while I worked for the NWS. STOP THIS NONSENSE!

@Doll How much worse do you think #NOAA's work will get after these forecasters have been fired?

"The Trump administration has its government-shrinking sights set on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, where around 800 employees have been tapped for termination, according to two sources close to the agency."

Alt National Park Service
NOAA is an absolute mess, and it’ll be worse tomorrow. Please help us. There have already been over 1,000 terminations. It’s not just layoffs—Elon Musk and his staffers are trying to completely dismantle us. Today, there were tons of firings, and more are coming tomorrow.
Union and lawyers are helping. America, please spread the word and call Congress.

As I kid I dreamed of working as a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Alaska. Thanks to the timing of my birth, through good times and bad, I spent more than more than 30 years doing just that. Today, hundreds of similar dreams were shattered. To all of you, I am so sorry. #NOAA #Alaska

The mass firing of both new hires and recently promoted senior staff within #NOAA, including mission-critical and life-saving roles at the National Weather Service (#NWS), is profoundly alarming.

The #NOAA and the #NWS are sadly headed for death's door now... :(

I've been a meteorologist for over 30 years, I worked for the National Weather Service my 4 undergraduate years, and I loved it.

There are NO good reasons for firing hardworking, already understaffed NWS/NOAA personnel, and it WILL cost lives!

The potential "savings" are so small compared to the benefit we get from the NWS saving lives and property daily.

STOP this madness, trump and musk! You have no idea how far-reaching the ramifications of this are.

This hurricane season might be kinder than the last. But DOGE cuts at NOAA could still impact the ability to save lives
