NASA’s Terra and Aqua satellites helped meteorologists determine that marine stratocumulus clouds are relatively common.
On average, they cover ~15% of Earth’s total surface.
#NASAEarth
Organized marine stratocumulus clouds, found in the subtropics and midlatitudes, take two forms; open-celled and closed-cell.
Recent studies have found that smoke, dust, and aerosols can affect the formation of open- and closed-cell clouds.

Wont to thank the people who support these instances and the #OMN project. Though we currently only cover half the running costs and both of our mastodon instances are overloaded so might sometimes slow down campaign.openworlds.info

So we need a few more people to make regular monthly donations to keep the instances running opencollective.com/open-media-…
We are an unfunded grassroots group, so it is obviously much harder for use to fund the instances you use than more #mainstreaming instances to receive much more user support.
We need to cover basic running cost, then we need to upgrade all instances to cover new users opencollective.com/open-media-…

I liked this Media Indigena episode that focuses on how tourism is pushing out Indigenous people and forcing assimilation, including Hawai'i and Oaxaca. I think about a lot, as someone who grew up in a tourism town and who likes to travel. If you don't like listening to podcasts, this has a link to an article along this same theme.

Born in 1883, Elmer Samuel Imes was the 2nd Black American to receive a physics PhD in the U.S.
His pioneering experimental work measured of the rotational–vibrational spectra of diatomic molecules.
Imes faced many obstacles bc of his race & blazed trails in science for many who followed. He was also interested in how science & culture intersect & married Nella Larsen, a great writer of the Harlem Renaissance. He passed away in 1941. physicstoday.scitation.org/doi… #history #science #HistoryRemix
