23 November 2011. The High over Greenland.


I had a look, but it's now the chart for the 24th. The "high" is still
there, but is now shown as 998mb. I think it's a case of a computer
algorithm getting over-enthusiastic, and labelling a very minor and
local peak as a "high". The main high pressure centre is well to the
west, as shown by the isobars. There's at least one other such
pseudo-high shown on the map, over Germany, and a pseudo-low just to the
west of Greenland.


The median point is the 1016 mb line though much less that 8 either
side of it counts as col or misty stuff going nowhere.

Do you mean those 1025 thingies east of the 1043?

The Lows in the Arctic/North Atlantic are residual from the
earthquakes and Kenneth that spawned or/and increased during this
spell.
They should have congealed by now according the the T+12 and are
heading this way.

Which means another series of quakes starting up somewhere west of
Iceland and heading down to Indonesia via Japan.

The spell ends tomorrow (the lunar perigee was yesterday, I am still
pondering what happened with that.)

Take a look at Bernard Burton's site for the ASSX charts, don't be
misled by Google searching for brothels for you there though.

Perhaps he aught to change the title of that link. OTOH he will get
more hits with a sexy title.

I've posted some of the stuff I found, you know where -seek and ye
shall find.
