You try forecasting it Chris!?


Just tried to write my normal weekly forecast for Dartmoor next week -
sheesh, talk about low confidence :-)


Once more with feeling this time children, what does error, fear,
uncertainty and doubt mean?

It's not beyond the bounds of hackerdom to insert the relevant factors
into the mesh is it?

Extent of FUD = magnitude of earthquake = input from equivalent
hurricane forces = easier long range forecasting.

Now stop moaning and get the job done.


Hmmm... I think I need to find a value for singularities.

IMPORTANT: Remember that many of the below were developed mainly using
data for the latter half of the 19th, and first half of the 20th
centuries. The climate has undoubtedly changed, whatever the reason!
Use these with much caution.

[The term 'singularity' was apparently coined (according to HH Lamb)
by A. Schmauss in Berlin in 1938. In an article entitled "Synoptische
Singularitäten", Schmauss demonstrated that the curves (in graphical
terms) of meteorological elements (such as temperature), show singular
points in the mathematical sense (dy/dx=0), and apparently the name
came quickly into use for this reason.]
