Since Martin created the FAQ, I think he will have written that. What it doesn't seem to say going by that quotation, is where the Bartlett High is located. Someone mentioned Switzerland, but my own - possibly fallible - memory suggests that the classic location was Iberia. I'd always thought it was that - a sort of eastern extension/version of the Azores High. Richard |

I know Paul used to post on here for many years, so many will be sad to hear he passed away last night :-( There has been a quite a response in here to Paul's passing. I wonder if it's worth someone pulling the comments together and passing them to the family? -- Cheers Dave. Nr Garrigill, Cumbria. 421m ASL. |

The pupils couln't understand why I went so quiet, realising something was up because we always have excited chatter and bannter in the office, so I told them who Paul was, and that he had sadly passed on. Needless to say there was instant repect from the newest, youngest generation of weather observers and enthusiasts, the next Paul Bartlett in waiting amongst them perhaps? Our thoughts at Bablake Weather Station are with his family. Steve Jackson |

So it's "a broad band of high pressure extends from the Azores area, east-north-eastwards towards the Biscay / English Channel region - perhaps now & then displaced towards the Alps". -- John Hall "The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it."

![]() .... Not a problem John; it all started out fairly light-hearted many years ago - the Q/A could probably be improved upon, but in light of Paul's death perhaps it should stay as it is in his memory. Given the nature of archiving on the internet, it's going to be floating about a long time .... and 'his' High and its definition is probably propagating outwards through space! Paul represented the 'acceptable face' of back-bedroom/garden shed meteorology (compared to the fly-by-nights represented by PWS): just a man who loved his work / hobby and shared his enthusiasm with us all. I met & worked with many such in my time in the Office - I shall always be grateful to them.

Well it has a legacy: The run of Blocking Highs from summer 2010 through the winter of 2011 led to the inevitable Japanese disaster of last March. |

Judging by the tributes here, Paul clearly had the admiration and affection of many, something which must console his family somewhat at a difficult time. Blocking highs have been in our news (explicity or implicitly) in recent times - the pathological weather of December 2011 being just one case: http://www.niwa.co.nz/climate-summary-for-december-2011 The township of Takaka (or rather a station a few kms to its southwest) had an extraordinary monthly total rainfall of 1233mm (over half the annual average), and Nelson city got slips and floods in its wettest month since the 1870s. A retiring met. forecaster made some comments to the effect that more blocking highs were in evidence in recent years - though the next reasonably length non-Nina (ie neutral or Nino states) period may put his idea to the test. http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/6317...hermans-career |
