State of the Oceans - Aug 22, 2023 -- Start of Winter

 Ha. 


The Pacific current is very mixed, and mostly stagnant overall.  This continues to allow the huge temperature anomaly to exist and fool people in thinking it's the return of Elvis Nino.  The baseline situation is a very strong flow, pulling up 4C water.  The stagnant zone is 20-25C, which makes a huge difference, but very cold water for the equator.

We have interesting news for the Gulf Stream and the Greenland Gap.  That is a giant gate for cold winter air.  When the gs pours heat into it, the gate closes for cold air.  When the gs abandons it, the cold air pours and wolves descend.


There is this huge blank section of no current, right under Greenland.  Never seen it before.  It should expand and cause Arctic Blob super conductivity, if that is a thing.  

We, who know things, use the sea temp chart, and not the anomaly chart which is a bad construct.  


Everything is cold, so that the total heat energy is low.  The Earth cycles between high and low heat energy.  This roughly translates to temperature.  The belts are showing that turbulent fluting, which is always a cold thing.
