August Disco 2021. Do record dews continue?
Typhoon Tip replied to Damage In Tolland's topic in New England
Ah yes ... post August 15. The perennial onset of this species of Global Forecast System's proclivity to rush seasonal change can already be seen, if not so much empirically, by attitude in the way it is handling the polar jet and the features above the latitude of that fluid demarcation between the HC and Ferrel latitudes. That being, too deep with cold layout and individual cyclone mid and U/A nodes that are rotating through the medium to be more precise. But, the irony is there is a tendency for enhancing gradient in transition seasons, during this leg of the climate change curve, due to the polar regions having still substantively lower geopotential mass-field compared to the encroaching HC; that encroachment causes the sloped troposphere ... triggering high velocity and earlier than normal climate R-wave structures result. That's all language to describe that while the latter aspect is causing seasonal variance to kick in sooner than mid last Century climate, the GFS probably coincidentally has an error that maps over top of it ( perhaps even hiding it's flaw from its designers - haha). As an aside: One of the counter-intuitive gems about global warming is that N/A then suffers cold loading earlier than normal, before the gradient really kicks in later on in mid winter season, which f's up all seasonal outlooks because no one is/has been paying attention this change. Here's a seasonal outlook that is probably all we will need, despite the dissertations, ...replete with chin scratching, temple rubbing, graphs and inference from land-sea telecon methods that are no longer valid because of CC: Weird oscillating cool to hot snaps with frost during the cold during Sept(Oct), with almost just as many 80s in Sept(Oct) ... By October, packing pellets and grauple showers when cold. So basically... 10 Indian summers between Sept 15 and November 1. Chances are enhanced some 30 to 40% above the climate derivatives from October 15 to Dec 1, for synoptic snow. And probably we see 70s in November a couple of times regardless of whether that happens. That's the autumn ball game... Basically, the typology of autumn variance on steroids. Winter, doesn't exist. Rather, some weird mangled version of winter that is too oft utterly disrupted, so not really clearly committed. Nope. What we get is snow storms and rain storms, in between +20 events in temperature. Lawns don't really turn that typical mid winter beige, and some commiserate-seeking poster insults that he/she actually saw a mosquito bobby around their forearm keying the car door somewhere out in the burbs in late January, despite that 10F cold snap that did manage to occur before the snow to rain disappointment near the 10th. Farmer's butt-sore Almanac. Big blizzard in February gravity wells Worcester to 12" while Bedford and Scott get 40" and manage seasonal normalcy. All this before it is 82F on February 17 thru the 23; instead of this alarming oddity occurring on just a single day .. three different seasons spanning the last five years, it will be the first time in history we put up +30 dailies for almost a f'n week... Then, dice roll until the concomitant end of spring due to the seasonal repulsion -NAO flex that always happens when the sonically speeding polar jet relaxes just a little and there's like some kind of thermal tidal back draft at hemispheric scales that causes us to retard green up until mid May. At which time is is 110 F in Spokane, and the Glen Canyon finally succumbs to the so-dubbed "Millennial Drought" and exposes its self, leaving the 710 foot arch dam a ghost remnant of some kind of influence ( hmm) - an omen of the future of the Earth, without human presence. The new method for seasonal outlook needs to be based up a hemisphere moving so fast that all other conventions become tertiary as forcing compared to that disruption. Done and done. -

yeah.. uh, big heat's happened as late as the 2nd week of September, but the return rate is rarefying quickly past August 15 - we slope. can we do it, yup! But, this next larger synopsis is a similar trait and behavior this summer, where non-hydrostatic heights balloon to ceiling extents in the models, but the hydrostatic ( 500mb 'thickness' ) seems to be sucking up the heat in order to get the DP up into the mid 70s/+anomaly. What has verified is what it is...but that's what the appearance of the modeling behavior has been to me. I tend to agree with Brian, based on that above propensity .. then adding in the climate slope, probably we do high night minimums, then drowning afternoons in theta-e weighting down the highs into the 80s. Might end up with the biggest 10 -day +anomalies of the summer, ha! j/k Notice the 500 mb non-hydro height anomalies over the TV while the 850 is modestly cool there ... it's a weird repeating theme - -

Occasional Thoughts on Climate Change
Typhoon Tip replied to donsutherland1's topic in Climate Change
Great snark take! however, the issue is really much more a momentum problem? One that seems to always come back to that age old observation: Too much population. It's a threshold exceedance - Suppose 750 million is a hypothetical 10% of a total planetary population of industrial farters, that cannot diverge from the "save the planet" movement or else said planet will not survive. A total population that then swells to 8 billion, now that lower bounded percentage exceeds that 750. At that point, the lower percentage that continues to fart, represent a sufficiently large negative impact on the miasma that is choking the world. Not just for us by the way. As an aside, the Biologists attending the proverbial summit are waving their hands to be heard and no one is picking them for a chance to take the podium. It's like, 'Hello,' she knocks on the mike loudly as it triggers a high pitch whir over the speakers over head. She exclaims, 'WE ARE NUMERICALLY IN A MASS-EXTINCTION EVENT ALREADY..' One that may have begun around the time of the Industrial Revolution, but has insidiously gathered its own momentum while all these other aspects of this 'Anthropocene' epoch are being prioritized and analyzed and popularized ( although too slowly in the latter). But there's also another issue couched in there ... It's elementary to visualize, really. There is more difficulty in getting larger populations to motivate change compared to a smaller. That adds a T variable to an equation that cannot take a big values of T, or else that equation will = 0 ( uh...we need that hypothetical math to = 1 of course ) Like, take 100 people. If you need to motivate 50%.... how hard is it to fill a large conference room for an afternoon with a coffee break and complimentary donuts en route to getting them all on the same page ..etc. How hard would it be to do the same with 8 billion. duh. In other words, it not just a mass of toxicity arithmetic, but a piggy-backed is probably an unattainable sociological one because that lower percent drag-population has too much weight. I think it's too late. Not sure - or doubt really ... - whether that can be pulled back. -

The heat appears over-top in circulation manifold next week.... We seem to have that kind of Kelvin-Hemmy thing going on again, where there is broad anticyclonic curl and the top loaf of circulation lobs over top - particularly seen in the 850 mb thermal layout is where this is forced/ best observed. Interesting.. I've seen this more frequently since the earlier 2000's, probably owing to faster polar jet zipping over southern Canada. This configuration seems to strand/pool the OV-NE regions in a disproportionately cooler 850 mb temperature region ...compared to what is typically seen in non-hydrostatic heights exceeding 588 dm. Not sure we get much higher than the mid to upper 80s despite those geopotential heights. Meanwhile, it's not helping the those same regions are in a modest surplus of rainfall... The hydrostatic heights have a way of holding temp counter-intuitively down once past the solar max/later August. Bottom line, ...lot of 87/74 type miasma -

I'm in Michigan this week... We were 91 here southern lower Michigan yeserday, with 76 dps, and it was brutal until a splash-out linear complex weakened through but ( thankfully ) brought us out of Hades. It was close to 9 pm and 86/77. 72/66 after the trees swayed ahh This is your air mass... coming on a WSW/SW trajectory, and you may or may not benefit from the latter processing. I suspect it ends up being about similar to the June heat wave between the 25th and 30th looking at everything. This one actually has better lower tropospheric parameters by a little even; if up to that alone I'd figure for a 2 click MOS bust and 102. But that one benefitted from being within solar max, which we are passed. That, and hydro integration my keep the temp edged in favor of climo/MOS. If this was June 15 I'd say y'all be 102 tomorrow or Friday at least at one or two sites. Don't know about only 'warm' sun and dice rolling cloud patches in huge theta-e. -

It is interesting that this is occurring despite the flow construct over North America. Personally I am not sure I have ever seen that/this... With a -3 SD, full-on R-wave anomaly rolling through mid latitudes of the Canadian shield, supplanting the flow into a broad trough actually [ not the 'ridged curvature' more typical at these sort of hydrostatic heights and 850s/EML type phenomenon ] between IA-ME. The southern edge of this L/W trough arc is actually expressing the 590 ( 590! ) into cyclonic curvature. That's strange. The EML remnant Sonoran release and the 850 mb kinetic plume are all passing under the trough like a submarine. I suggest this is an expanded HC example with a polar R-wave ( unusually amplified ) gliding over top the 40th latitude. Welcome to Tennessee ... The Euro operational was indicating this potential some 7 or 8 days ago. I thought it was typically attempting to offset a heat wave pattern with it's own modeling bias to amp - the two sort of situated in conflict when at the time/range it was depicting. Technically it may be arguable ... it could be a compressed ridge, but said polar westerlies, in which case it could be considered in both directions to be fair. But it's an unusual look. -

Record PNA of 4.00 on 8/6/21 obliterates old record
Typhoon Tip replied to GaWx's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
I'm suspicious of these CPC derivatives ... It's complex, but I suspect the HC expansion phenomenon is giving them a boost, while this planetary wave # oscillates through. The inundation of higher non-hydrostatic heights are over-lapping/invading the lower domain/latitudes of the PNA domain, out over the areal expanse of the central/E Pacific is evident. Farther east, there is a balancing geostrophic forcing to nadir the flow E of ~ 100 or so W over mid latitudes of N/A; numerically that is a demonstrative +PNA. Things get interesting considering constructive numerical interference. You have probaby a legit modest PNA, but with an expanded HC phenomenon in place the two may be artificially inflating the numbers. Looking at the operational runs/versions recently, it may also help to explain a sub-540 dm massive, albeit transient, SPV anachronistically passing over the Canadian shield, while 594 dm heights astride the Mid Atlantic. That's unusual in August, atoning for the +PNA, but the whole construct is also displaced N ... thing a submarine diving below the depth-charges, the trough is deep in y-coordinate, while gliding over at higher latitudes. Consequently, we are feeding/slipping +20C 850 mb air masses under the southern edge of that trough belly clear to New England late this week. You don't typically see 21C at 850 in a well mixed lower troposphere over Albany during a historically +PNA derivatives. -

mmm... and it'll get even more and more accurate in it's ability to do so if this ( typical CNN-hyperbole +fact) / 2 ...is even half right "That is due in part to the breakneck pace at which the planet has been recently warming, faster than scientists have previously observed. Since 2018, when the panel published a special report on the significance of 1.5-degrees, greenhouse gas emissions have continued mostly unabated and have pushed global temperatures higher." https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/09/world/global-climate-change-report-un-ipcc/index.html -

There needs to be regulation/FCC and crackdown. Journalistic Integrity and practice parted company years ago and it is down right audaciously so now. Corporations/people seem incapable of enforcing ethics upon themselves - particularly in the area of media. Instead, rely upon mangled interpretation of Free Speech to continue operating in bomb of equivocation, masquerading as fact, and with tsunamis there simply is no time to evaluate for by shear volume. The "IMC" ( Industrial Media Complex ...) knows this and leverages it so they can traumatize people even more into clicking mouses, swiping smart phones, or pinging channels on their TVs. So long as they make their bottom lines. In an ideal world - for me - there should be a taxation levied against all media industry for vaccines and healthy care. That's straighten them out in a hurry.

Through both indirect and direct geo-physical various circuitry ...the following article probably is more connected/suitable for this thread. Example, "..Complex interplays between the AMOC and North Atlantic sea-ice cover in conjunction with salinity and circulation changes have been proposed as physical causes underlying the DO cycles..." https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-021-01097-4.epdf?sharing_token=qWMQcnRcVRZQmZ_yahYbd9RgN0jAjWel9jnR3ZoTv0ODQw4Na6S4LwvIIwjZ_S3NdBoG6pi8c5NBfIwoUKp1VK_OHHszXMnB3OMoyz8L8emOhG-hoDsJyn1YMubz_IampYbIRg_8P9vjnfIPPzRQwm6m9BfwEGfoLu0JsB4E2trSfyu4r947mOz1oZQlyxQxZLxaMkEINR4Wt7XEIrPrRkahci-lKgCSTZahFzlH7wM%3D&tracking_referrer=www.washingtonpost.com "...Here, a robust and general early-warning indicator for forthcoming critical transitions is introduced..." c/o above - I'd also point out that we in the field began involved in conjecture as well as reading formulated papers/science on the subect matter all the way back to the early 1990s. Really interesting embedded statements, like: "...Different lines of evidence from palaeoclimate proxy records indicate that Northern Hemisphere temperatures have varied abruptly at millennial time scales during previous glacial episodes, with corresponding changes of the AMOC between its weak and strong modes1,15,16...."

You know... it's another way among many - take a nitpick at which ever doctrine - in which the genius of the Constitution's language engineers, in order to formulate a code more free of ambiguity ... could not have in fact foreseen how technology ( and it really is a technological influence -related matter. Oh yes it is! ) would make so many of those turn of phrases increasingly obsolete. Ha! "Best laid plans" - seems like a whopper example for that aphorism. The 2nd amendment used for guns permeating society, ... the reasoning foundation for that Amendment mmm it doesn't really apply in the same spirit, nor a very realistic risk assessing in society/culture. But, that's a debate for a different internet fight. People can't just say, "I want to shoot shit and feel secure and powerful behind my weapon," can they? 'Cause... that's not the spirit of the amendments cause and writ; yet that's the evading truth of the battle there. Seems like Human's have this weird need to do that in every conflict: evade the truth of their wants and motivations at all times, then...asses if it's safe to admit, ...they reveal later on what it was they REALLY wanted all along. Here, how does the Government as a representation of the society population, impose sticking needles with a foreign substance into the arms of a 1763 philosopher's arm. Now that's an interesting case right there... I don't think there is much language anywhere in the constitution that leverages against unvaxxed, frankly. In fact, constitutional law "could" be interpreted as 2nd Amen invocation against the "Armed Militia" LOL
