Efforts to meet the Paris climate goals are falling short. This letter proposes seven ways to boost public engagement and better decisions: clearer scientific reports, hopeful messages, countering false information, climate education, local action in workplaces, open and fair leadership, and focusing on adapting to climate change to also encourage cutting emissions. These strategies blend communication, policy, and community action for a stronger global climate response.

Measurements are crucial for understanding atmospheric processes, water cycles, and climate. This paper focuses on optical disdrometer measurements to study precipitation complexity at the surface, analyzing precipitation episodes in the Basque Country. Using 1-minute disdrometer data, key characteristics like duration, intensity, particle count, and rain amount are examined for episodes previously established through aggregation of minute data.
