Wetterphänomene beobachten, den #Wind studieren - immer wieder spannend.
Wie der #Jetstream um die #Erde weht, einfach ein unglaubliches (alltägliches) Ereignis.
#NovaScotia digging out after historic snowfall drops 150 cm in some areas
"Typically, low-pressure systems follow the #JetStream and move through region from west to east," explained Snoddon.
"This storm was a cut-off low, which is disconnected from the jet stream, and as a result it stalled east of the region, causing the prolonged snowfall."
"Dangerous freezing air from the Arctic continued sweeping across the #US on Monday, prolonging a bitter cold blast that has set record-low temperatures and disrupted daily life across a broad swathe of America, including an NFL playoff game and the presidential nominating contest in Iowa.
Sub-zero wind chills grip swathe of country as Arctic storms leave at least four dead and knock out electricity in parts of north-west."
"As the Arctic warms, the difference between the cold temperatures in the north and warm temperatures in the south is leading to a weaker, wavier #JetStream, which pushes very cold air southwards. "
Marshall Shepherd: Warming Climate And Cold Days Explained
"Scrolling through social media on cold or snowy days, it is common to see comments like, “well so much for global warming” or “Ha, I have 10 inches of climate change in my yard.” When I see such statements, a blaring science literacy siren with accompanying flashing lights comes to mind. I have written on this topic before, but another quick refresher on warming climate and cold days is always needed."
#JetStream will get faster as #climatechange continues
Research suggests that as the world warms, the fastest upper-level jet stream #winds will get faster and faster—by about 2% for every degree Celsius the world warms. The fastest winds will speed up 2.5x faster than average wind. They strongly influence weather on the ground—especially temperature, winds and weather as well as occurrence of severe storms, tornadoes, hail and severe wind. https://phys.org/news/2023-12-jet-stream-faster-climate.html#globalheating#climatecrisis
"[#TyphoonBolaven] exploded from a Category 1 storm with 90 mph winds to a Category 5-equivalent violent typhoon with 160 mph winds in just 12 hours. That’s four times the rate needed to qualify as “rapid intensification.”
It’s expected that Bolaven will slam into the #JetStream, bending it and infusing it with energy and ultimately affecting the weather over #NorthAmerica."
@christianschwaegerl Die letzten Jahre haben irgendwelche selbsternannten Experten ständig gejammert, dass der #Jetstream kaputt wäre (obwohl das wissenschaftlich ziemlich umstritten ist). Jetzt geht es dem Jetstream offenbar prächtig, und er bringt uns ein Tiefdruckgebiet nach dem anderen. Aber das ist dann auch wieder nicht recht.
#ClimateDiary I have been seeing the “there are some positives to climate change for us here in England” take quite a few times recently: the people described in this article; the #Frost statement last week (will share link below); and this brochure by a local #Vineyard. I know it’s obvious but just want to really call this out, for 3 reasons:
With so much of rest of world already really suffering it is morally abhorrent to go on about benefits here
1/2
2/3
2. It is stupid and wrong to think that, whilst rest of world suffers, we will thrive. Yes the whole thing is profoundly uneven and unjust, but we are all connected, from global food systems to migration etc etc etc - we will not thrive here whilst everything else falls to pieces
There are signs that #Jetstream#Gulfstream#AMOC changes might mean that we end up having a much colder climate, and anyway far more turbulence; it will not just be "I.5C warmer here". In short
If you are using #Divi theme on #WordPress, the menu’s are still an issue on mobile (apparently 4 years on). The fix is simple as someone posted on StackOverflow:
#Arctic warming distorts jet stream, leading to #Greenland ice melt. Declining snow cover in northern Canada causes #jetstream to grow wavier, allowing warm air over Greenland⚠️😟
Satellite captures carbon dioxide aurora from space. While the night sky, with its auroras, has captivated the attention of scientists and sky gazers for centuries, much less is known about the aurora associated with carbon dioxide until now.
"The shocking visual is prompting many to ask whether this recent surge [in #ocean heat] is evidence that human-caused heating has propelled the #climate past a #TippingPoint.
Climate scientists say the answer is likely no. Instead, it is much more probable to be ... a coincidence of natural factors piled on top of the steady trend of human-caused global heating. "
"What’s happened in recent weeks to turn the drip-drip-drip of #climate warming into a full-on torrent? Below is a look at several of the most prominent global and regional records and some of the factors that may be leading to the recent spikes. "
