Thoughts and notes on science from another blogging Grumbine.
Welcome
I'll be trying what seems to be an unusual approach in blogs -- writing to be inclusive of students in middle school and jr. high*, as well as teachers and parents (whether for their own information or to help their children). To that end, comments will have to pass a stricter standard than I'd apply for an all-comers site. It shouldn't be onerous, just keep to the topic and use clean language.
I expect it to be fun for all, however, as you really can get quite far in understanding the world, even climate, by understanding this sort of fundamental. If I get too much less fundamental, let me know where I went astray.
* Ok, I concede that not many middle school students will get everything. Even a fair number of adults will find some parts hard to follow. Still, some middle school kids will have fun. And almost everyone will follow a number of posts just fine.
Please see the comment policy for details. And the link policy for details about that. The latter is more open than you might expect.

About Me
- Robert Grumbine
- In my day job I work on the oceanography, meteorology, climatology, glaciology end of my science interests, but I'm interested in everything, science or not. So I've also been on stage in a production of Comedy of Errors, run an ultramarathon, and been to Epidaurus, Greece, to see a production of Euripides' Iphigenia among the Taurians Prior to starting the current job, I was a post-doc in oceanography in the UCAR ocean modelling program, and earned my doctorate from the Department of the Geophysical Sciences at the University of Chicago (1989). My undergraduate degree involved Applied Math, Engineering, Astrophysics, and Glaciology. Of course I don't speak for my employer, whoever that may be.

I'd definitely include what I believe to be the best climate-science blog on the net: Realclimate
http://www.realclimate.org/
Yeah, I'm swedish. And I'm a big fan.
Thanks Anders. Suggestions on how to make the blog friendlier to non-native English speakers are welcome, either here or at plutarchspam at aim dot com.
I don't think you need to do extra efforts to make the blog friendlier to non-native English speakers. I have no problems at all understanding what you're writing.
If i would have one comment on your blog, it would be a lay-out thing : i think the column width of your text is rather small. It would be easier to read (at least for me) if you put it a bit wider. Due to poor eyesight, i have to enlarge the letters, and there's not much words left on one line if you do ...
But, this of course is just a detail (i can copy the text to word and read it there ...)
Jules, I've tried widening it. How is it now? I'm trying to keep the window under 768, as it seems that a fair number of folks are using that size. But we're a lot closer than before.
I'm honored to be mentioned here among those great names and blogs, in this great blog! Will try to be more active in the future. And you guessed correctly - it's in Norwegian.
You're doing just fine language-wise. Just keep being science-minded and inclusive of non-professionals, and I'll keep reading and sharing (Google Reader) your stuff.
