All heatwaves impossible without Climate Change

 My top physics site is out right now.  

There is still some Arctic flow that can wipe the stagnant pockets.  

The Arctic looks like it wants to start up the Ice Machine again.  That is the big vortex in the Arctic Basin.  If we want massive stagnant heatwaves, then that thing has to die.  

The reverse current is dying in the Pacific.  It's a 2 inch thick thing that doesn't carry any heat energy.  The main westward current along the equator is pumping up.  It will soon cut up the remnants of the heat blob that is giving hope to the Super Ellie crowd.

Thank goodness, I thought he was worried about the mid-terms, but going back to war allows him to postpone the elections, and become a dictator.  This is a new war, so it's another 60 days, and then another war.

I have tracked both the 1997, and the 2016 reversals by the ocean currents.  Since the ocean has more than 10 times the heat energy density (maybe 100 to 1000) of air, I go with that.

The current (sic) rise in the charts is due to a leftover heat blob that is not moving down below the equator, like all the other ones since 2023.  

 I call this the 'Mighty Morphing Blob', since it just stays still and keeps changing shape.

This tremendous anomaly is 1000 km north of the equator, and is not reflected in the temperature.  That's because they never show the base map that causes this phoney thing.  Such a horrible physics error, that I think they stopped showing it, because it is embarrassing.

The fact the blob can stay there, while the ocean current is rushing by, shows the wonderful 3d nature of ocean currents.  We could have the full 3d ocean currents, but that would be more physics.  You can get a hint of what is driving the blob, but looking just South of where it is, and we have the SE current that has been driving all the previous blobs.

I expect this to go away soon, and all the charts to go back to diving.  Then we await the new phoney justifications for the Super-Girl El Nino.  (a box-office bomb)

ps thoughts on the current that carries no heat.  This is a very thin rapid current, overlaying the heat blob.  It is essentially glass, letting out the infrared that the satellites pick up.  It is partially screened and that's why it is morphing all the time.  Neat.
