Can renewable energy survive climate change?
As #droughts reduce #hydropower and #clouds dim #solar output around the world, experts say #meteorology and #ClimateScience must be at the heart of the #energy transition.
Yet, even as the push for renewables gains momentum – driven by cheaper technology and an urgent need to slash carbon emissions – experts are waving cautionary flags: Because renewable energy sources depend on weather conditions, climate change is increasingly dictating, and jeopardizing, renewable energy production.
UN News · Is climate science the next power source for renewable energy?As solar, wind, and hydropower expand, scientists say integrating climate data and forecasting is key to making renewable systems stronger.

Radiative-convective equilibrium (Meteorology 
The radiative-convective equilibrium is a concept for the radiative balance of the atmosphere. It describes the balance between the net radiative longwave cooling and the heating due to convection and surface fluxes. The main difference to the pure radiative equilibrium is that the lapse rate in the troposphere is adjusted to a more r...

From 3rd to 9th February 1972, a devastating blizzard dumped up to 7.9 metres of snow on Iran, burying 200 villages and resulting in the deaths of approximately 4,000 people. The blizzard occurred lasting for a week, and it came after four years of drought. #Meteorology
