Does anybody have a plausible explanation as to why these are the readings we're getting? I attempted to provide an answer to your questions in reply to the 6 October data. I'm not sure that I'm a good person to provide the best scientific reply, since my understanding is rather basic, as I've not been thru the rigorous academic training to achieve a degree. I've looked at these sort of events for years and my rather simple scenario is based on the tropic to pole circulation. In Fall, Winter and Spring, the temperature difference between the tropics and the polar regions increase. This results in greater flows of air, which transport latent and sensible thermal energy from the warm tropics toward the poles. In the NH, the northward flowing air does not move directly North, but changes direction toward the East as the result of the Coriolis Effect. Similarly, the returning cold air begins to flow southward, but then turns toward the West, again the result of the Coriolis Effect. In both situations, the air motions appear as clockwise rotating air masses. Where the warm and cold air masses meet, storms form due to the differences in flow directions and temperatures. I think that this scenario is essentially the Norwegian Model of weather from the early 1900's. Anyway, if the rate of flow increases, as a result of Global Warming, more warm, moist air moves further northward and then the corresponding cold air return can flow further back to the south. I suggest that my crude scenario can "explain" the recent batch of record temperatures, as well as other similar situations over the past few decades. Of course, this is not the complete story and I would expect others who have studied weather and climate might offer a different perspective. Take it for what it's worth, which may be nothing. -- Eric Swanson --- E-mail address: e_swanson(at)skybest.com :-) -------------------------------------------------------------- |
