Interesting piece on the #Arctic #SeaIce and it's (improving) representation in global climate models by Gavin Schmidt over on @realclimate, I'm not entirely sure all of the improvement is for the right reasons, there are probably compensating biases, it would be interesting to see if the models get the regional signal correct in different parts of the Arctic, but overall I agree with this piece, there have been some big steps forward in global models, the regional level is often not very well represented though.

TIL: On Taiwan TV, the BBC series “Doctor Who” is translated as “⁠何博士”.
博士 is simply the word for doctor (the academic degree, not a medical practitioner). But 何 is both a Chinese surname (transcribed as Ho or Hé) and an interrogative pronoun for “what” or “how”. Clever translation.
BBC and Disney use 超時空奇俠 as the Chinese title which translates as "across-time-space strange hero" and Netflix uses ⁠神秘博士 "Mysterious Doctor". 🤷
