I'd always thought it was that - a sort of eastern extension/version
of the Azores High.

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?

How very sad; I read this dreadful news in the weather station office
at Bablake at 0900hr this morning, as the pupils and I were
downloading data, and writing the day's forecast, just as Paul must
have done himself for years.

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.

I don't know if Jon O'Rourke still lurks, but a similar page to that of
Mike Tullett seems in order.

Guilty as charged. 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".

.... 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.

Martin.

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.
