Ottawa Blizzard Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Unless it's a joke, Ryan Maue has announced on his twitter account that he has resigned from Weatherbell after 5.5 years. Interesting news. I wonder if Weatherbell will still be able to use his maps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His name appears here: https://www.cato.org/centers/center-study-science He may be pursuing options that are more consistent with the public policy aspect of meteorology.

I have to think WxBell at least secured rights to continue to use the maps. Maintenance and upgrades, though, could be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbutts Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I replied to a tweet where he posted 10m gusts and called it wind speed or something like that accusing him of hype and he went nuclear on me. I have nothing to say about his meteorological skills, but guy is surely a jerk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Reimer Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Another talented meteorologist wasting their talents by getting involved in the political realm. As others have said Dr. Maue has one heck of a temper but maintained an excellent model suite website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raindancewx Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Part of me thinks he left because he didn't like how Joe Bastardi used one of his temperature maps to call out Al Gore's movie predictions on Twitter. He's been writing for Cato for months though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samdman95 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 It's been sad to see Ryan get all concern-trolly about people pointing out the AGW aspect of storms, screaming that "people need to leave politics out of it!", when he is guilty of the very same thing, but worse.

HarveyLeonardFan Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 He's whip smart and very provocative but there's more money for him to be a tool of the far right while he aligns himself with a right wing think tank. Cato isn't paying him to forecast the weather. They're paying him to minimize the effects of climate change and take cover behind his PhD. I applaud him for distancing himself from bastardi however. Sean Hannity is the least respected broadcaster in the history of cable news and the bastardi Hannity association is an example of two gentlemen who reside at the bottom of their professions.

Possibly leveraging his new status with CATO, Maue has an op-ed for the WSJ dated yesterday afternoon (not sure if it made it into the print edition today): https://www.wsj.com/articles/climate-change-hype-doesnt-help-1505672774 Climate Change Hype Doesn’t Help The bigger issue than global warming is that more people are choosing to live in coastal areas. . . . Although a clear scientific consensus has emerged over the past decade that climate change influences hurricanes in the long run, its effect upon any individual storm is unclear. Anyone trying to score political points after a natural disaster should take a deep breath and review the science first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 On September 17, Dr. Maue had three interesting tweets: Tweet 1: Not at #NWAS17 but on top of Atlanta Metro @StoneMtnPark Planning future w/@WeatherdotUS building Models 3.0 & @500Millibars for everyone Tweet 2: Will have complete freedom to innovate, explore & collaborate on everything weather. Free ECMWF for in depth extreme weather coverage Tweet 3: Honored & privileged to partner w/@Kachelmann as I build new U.S. Atlanta based bureau of @WeatherdotUS & disrupt old way of doing things. It's still not clear whether Dr. Maue suggested that the ECMWF would be free or just free for certain situations. I suspect the latter, but his language about 'disrupting' the "old way of doing things" and "...building Models 3.0... for everyone" leaves open the alternative possibility. Currently, Weather.us offers free ECMWF guidance for a range of parameters (latest run, only). Were Weather.us to expand its free ECMWF maps, that development could present a competitive challenge to the numerous subscription-based vendors. Their ability to maintain current pricing levels would probably depend on their ability to differentiate their map offerings. A lot likely depends on how Weather.us sees its business and the role it envisions weather maps serving in that business (means of publicity/leveraging audiences to serve core business interests, additional revenue stream, free general maps/custom paid maps for certain clientele, etc.). Access to the ECMWF data is costly, so fully-accessible free ECMWF coverage seems somewhat unlikely, especially as such maps can readily be monetized. Whether changes take place in what is currently offered for free is a different matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it's just the latest run, in my opinion the ECMWF maps are already more accessible and easy to use on Weather.us than they have been previously on any free site.
