State of the Oceans - mid December 2024

 Might as well do this, as the weather is boring.  The physics hypothesis is that oceans distribute all heat energy on the earth, through ocean currents.  These are driven by internal ocean convection.

Our fine weather people are trained on a culture that can't see the oceans.  They work on the assumption that everything is driven by the air patterns.  You still read papers on how the winds drive the ocean currents, sort of like the old earth-centric universe.  You just need a little physics.

The is no physics being done on the atmosphere or the oceans.  Just a speck of physics destroys the wonderful feather bed that these people maintain.

In the past few years, the Pacific ocean currents have turned over.  Instead of feeding the Pacific equatorial belt from the north, it is now being fed from the south, a huge difference from the patterns observed during historic times.  There is no more 'Nino-a' cycle.





You can see the very weird temperature anomaly structures, caused by the extreme turbulence of the turn-over.  The cold water from the south loves to fight with the warmer water from the north.  If you put music to it, we would have 'Wicked Water'.

The Atlantic still has left-over heat from the last Pacific heating event.  This gives nice storms for the UK, instead of pure Arctic cold.  That heat energy always runs out by January.


Look at that darn North Atlantic polar plot.  The Gulf Stream is feeding it Gulf of Mexico heat.

My 'thermometer' for the Arctic is Greenland, but the same surrogate for North America is the Gulf of Maine.


That sucker is diving.



The health of Pacific heat is shown above.  That eventually affects the whole world.

I see nothing that would bother my winter forecast of extreme cold coming down on NA.  The UK is delayed a bit by huge storms, but will soon settle to clear cold.  This is the physics forecast and you'll never see it elsewhere.

ps I just love a Doom Loop.

That’s makes sense. Paul Asmis

Should be good snowmobiling this winter.
