There is a lot of activity in the Indian Ocean and it seemed to take
off immediately this spell came into effect. So far there hasn't been
a period when there wasn't a super cyclone in progress:

The default weather for the USA seems to be a large block of high
pressure stretching down the central states of the continent and a
series of smaller high pressure parcels running west to east past the
south of it. Also a set of Low pressure areas is in play either side
of the large High.

All of which has produced some local quakes in California and Mexico

In Britain the weather is rather pleasant this time of the year though
I have no dobt if it was like this in summer I'd be in a bad way with
the heat. Fortunately the humidity isn't a problem as the water vapour
remains aloft as ice.

So I shall book this time of phase as one that produces SF 2s and 3s
without necessarily changing the spell. Which is unusual and requires
watching for a summer comparison.

Here comes the fog.

All over Britain posters have been experiencing fog or mists and
sending in pictures. Well the TV reception has started to break down
here and that's when I first get a clue.

Oddly enough, Channel Five at one time the worst reception going on UK
terrestrial TV, has the best almost perfect picture.

Pity that, as it is full of crap and the directors are the dregs of
the earth.

And to add insult to injury the tropical stuff is underpowered with 2
more days of this particular spell to go.

It will be interesting to get the chance to observe events without an
F 2 or 3 cyclone. But I think they will resurge or be replaced with
large mag quakes. A run of mid sixes perhaps.

It's pretty clear that with the tropical cyclones settled down and a
pretty even NEIC, that the model for this time of phase on:
http://weather.unisys.com/images/sat_sfc_map_loop.html

....is a stable high system over most of the USA with unstable Lows in
the east and a fringe of Low pressure in the west.

It is another rally nice day over here in lil ol England. I must say I
like this weather. Storm warnings in Florida though:

When they clear away the highs might motor through but of course the
next spell is almost on the doorstep:
14th Feb 03:34

It's almost identical is it not?

As of 0600 13th Feb:
http://squall.sfsu.edu/gif/sathts_snd_00.gif

This shows a High pressure package elongated from off Florida to a
point on land at Newfoundland. This connection is the reason why the
earthquakes spawned in the period of this thing's existence are not
epicentred in the Aleutians.

Or not as the case may be.

Well that's it for the spell, long live the spell.

With an high in the region of 1040 mb over Britain and an overcast set
in, it's no wonder the weather turned cold.

Some say it will improve. No majr storms and a largish quake in Greece
so it might just be the changeover of the spell.

It would have been nice to report that the 110 knot storm Hondo, had
been 120 degrees or whatever harmonic distance from yours truly
earlier today. We had a glorious day. High ice but sunny. Cold, as the
infra red had been absorbed by the high cloud but bright for the
reflected visible spectrum.

There was an unusually deep Low off the south of Greenland according
to the Met Office. One chart showing it as 950 mb. Not as low as some
tropical stuff but quite deep for the North Atlantic.

That was 120 degrees from Hondo.

Hondo just happens to be the only thing on the radar over at:
http://www.hurricanezone.net/ at the moment. Wouldn't that beat all?
Closing the circle.

The low is back in the North Atlantic again. I wonder if Google or
Space Data Corp would be interested in any of this. Some help
compiling a database would be inspiring. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/02...ogle_balloons/

Not that I can see it happening in my lifetime. Would be a kicker
though.

Rubbish.

the main feature of February was the long anticyclonic period
which lasted from the 6th-23rd in southern districts and from the
10th-20th in northern Britain. However, it only ranked 58th
most anticylonic in 136 years of records, but the mean monthly
pressure at 50N00W was 29th highest. It was also the 24th
most southwesterly February out of 136.

La Niña's fingerprint is all over plants in eastern Australia and
southern Africa in this pair of vegetation images from the SPOT
Vegetation satellite. In these dry grasslands, plants live and die by
the rain.

Other places, like forests, store up water in the soil, so a few
exceptionally dry or wet months don't have such a large impact. But in
the ecosystems common in Australia and southern Africa, you can almost
measure the rain by the health of the vegetation, and vice versa.

In February 2008, La Niña brought heavy rain to eastern Australia and
southern Africa, and the vegetation responded in kind. Areas of bright
green point to strong plant growth in both regions. Though an
abundance of growing things may seem good, the excess rainfall was
accompanied by devastating floods in both southern Africa and eastern
Australia:

When the anomalies known as El Nino were discovered late in the 19th
century, the emphasis was on the pressure anomalies in weather
records. Then someone noticed a temperature anomaly that might be
utilised in Satellite imagery.

So these days the discussion on the subject are all about
temperatures. Which is a pity as the riddle is best analysed by the
conduct of pressure systems.

Bear that in mind as you delve into this:

"La Niña is characterized by unusually cold ocean temperatures in the
Equatorial Pacific.

[In] strong La Niña conditions,... the Eastern Pacific is cooler than
usual, and the cool water extends farther westward than is usual

In the U.S., winter temperatures are warmer than normal in the South-
east, and cooler than normal in the Northwest.
