Yesterday's largest magnitude quake was the brief change in the
weather we had here yesterday.

It was a little wet in Britain. (Not so's you'd notice anything that
special but the fact was remarked upon in various sectors.)

(It sometimes amazes me what turns some people on. And to think I
think I don't have a life. Feck! Sad *******s.)

Let's not get scientific here. What's good for the CRUx is good for
the cook.

All you need to remember is that you heard it here first folks.
(I seem to remember you heard it here before, too, neither.)

You can stick your carbon dioxide in the sea where it belongs. Suck
this one.

Meanwhile back on planet earth:

"Met Office view of 0000 UTC surface analysis

Pressure remains high over parts of southern Europe and the
Mediterranean, giving settled weather here, but areas of low pressure
dominate much of northern and western Europe, but a weak ridge of high
pressure over the British Isles is giving a drier spell here before
the next weather front moves into the west later today.

This is another day in my alternative reality folks. That's about it
really; they never update the chart in the afternoon or evening. The
North Atlantic +12 hour forecast is still the forecast at 13:30 UT.

But you won't catch me complaining or explaining.
Because I'm free.

The updates they send to greet me won't defeat me
It won't be long before fresh insights replete me

I'm never going to stop the complaining by explaining

Because I'm free, nothing's bothering me.

New things learned:

Some phases bring in weather spells that in the North Atlantic,
develop elongations in the pressure vortices called Highs and Lows.

Elongations tend to develop into ridges and troughs. But on occasions
like this, the Lows split up into separate systems. Ordinarily this
sort of thing does not occur until they reach land.

At sea they tend to gather and deepen at certain geographical points
such as when they reach the Mid Atlantic Ridge. In certain ocean
cycles, the pressure has to wait until enough acoustic waves coincide
at the right place to drop the pressure about 10 millibars.

When that happens, the Low can cross the Ridge and head for its
destruction on the shores of Norway or Scotland.

When that happens a suitable earthquake occurs somewhere or other on
the planet. The magnitude of the quake being directly related to the
power of the storm.

But this phase, not.

And of course all the charts I collected during it -courtesy of the
Met Office are useless.

Not to worry, the Germans have a cunning plan.

Go to WetterZentrale and get the latest output with no hassle:

From the Green box; Select: Bracknell

So the relationship of the weather with earthquakes is not so much
that the weather hits a "continental" shelf, so much as the system
itself devolves.

I really have to learn to stop thinking of it all in terms of simple
fluid dynamics. It's a continuum of another dimension entirely. And
it's not as if I didn't know that.
A tropical storm hitting shallows, signalled this to me ages ago.

I just couldn't see it in the Atlantic.

Just too lazy to think.
Maybe I should Col myself a little less sky wise.
And a lot less worldly wise.

Some people have all of the fun
Know all there is under the sun.
They don't like to waste much time
The Good Old Stuff suits them just fine

Some know nothing and prefer to be left alone

But the Thaumaturge is a rolling stone
Ah, the Thaumaturge...
He's a rolling stone

Some have games they like to play
Keeping rules the Good Old Way
Strange attractions newly found
Their pride and passion kicked around
It tears them apart
It can't be true
But a Thaumaturge can break their hearts
And that is what I do

The Weatherlawyer
Will do these things to you

He peers in waters that run deep
And ****es on those who run and weep
New things learned are here to stay
Because what is true won't fade away

And what is true
Can never fade away
And what is true
Can never fade away

That is not the list for the day. That's what W *thinks* could be a
list for the day. W is trying to convince you that "a few relatively
minor quakes slip off the radar" and that this list he's produced are
some kind of data that he can work with, quoting a few quakes as weak
as 2.5 on the Richter scale to back his theories and it's about here
where it all gets a bit silly and needs comment. I usually leave W
alone these days, but his ramblings get annoying when he tries to
convince people that he's working with decent data.

W; have you any idea of how many earthquakes there are of between 2
and 4 on the Richter scale worldwide*? You should do, as I've pointed
it out to you before.

Read this and think again before you produce a list for the day and
include quakes as weak as 2.5 in your list.
