Introducing a new player in the game -- Mega-Blob!

 

We had our giant bout of chaos, and I new something would change.  We've had many changes since I started to look at all this.  Today, we introduce Mega-Blob.

You can see the huge blob going right over Greenland and impacting the Atlantic plumes.  

As usual, this has never been seen before (by me).  We shall call it totally new.  The lower winds are still following the channels, but the whole thing is a cohesive object, with one lobate front.  That means, in 3d, the height of the blob is ten times the channel barrier heights.  Wow!

My model of dense cold air in the Arctic, trapped by topography, is 'blown' away.  Previously, we only had blobs that came down the channels -- Bering, Siberian lowlands, Mackenzie Delta, Greenland Gap, etc.  The winds would come through these channels, and make smaller blobs.  

The mb is a different creature, it is beyond topography, and is filled while being confined by walls of moving warm air, mostly likely cyclones.  It then comes out in a big whoosh, over a very large front, and has 10 times the energy and impact of a regular blob, which is bad enough.

This one is being wasted by pouring over the Atlantic.  It has drained the Arctic, and I don't see any other blobs.  Next, there will be one over Europe, maybe.  

The weather people think we'll have a minor blob coming over Toronto soon. I don't see it yet.  If we eventually get a MB, then it makes a Texas Buster look sad.

ps the world temperature charts are getting a small hook up.

That's across all charts.  It might be this really weird feathering in the west Pacific.  I am wary of weird currents since I missed that last big heating event.
