This looks like a messy clipper. We had an old-fashioned plume hit the Yukon, and it is dragging down cold. Lots of rain and maybe snow in some places.
ps. here, you can see the heat that gave us a very mild winter. Not happening this year.
natgas remains oblivious
To continue with the theme, the hurricane is a giant steampunk engine of incredible power. More than a nuclear plant, maybe a continuous nuclear bomb. We'll never know. It's a turbine engine, which has been allowed in some steampunk novels.
The weather people wouldn't know steampunk physics, if it hit them in the head. They probably don't even read that stuff. I am at a Great Dither on the mechanism here. I must put up a hypothesis that is compatible with the Laws of Physics. Then, it can be tested by measurements, which will never happen, because every physics explanation by the warmies starts with 'too impractical for field measurements', so we have to make up shit.
The big problem with the standard diagram is that everything converges to the bottom, which is impossible without a black hole. We need 'Conservation of Mass'. It's like them making up 'Dark Matter' where there isn't any. I find there is a tendency to make things up, rather than saying 'No Clue'. A lot more money that way.
This is a huge problem for me, and I have come up with my usual original 'epiphany' . Since it will never be tested, I will just take it to my grave. Needless to say, just like clear convection and airplanes, this wilful ignorance will cost a lot of lives.
- maybe one more
ps no more articles. This is a complex turbine engine with a double vortex. My brain hurts trying to figure it out, and it will never be tested. Best to live in ignorance.
I'm not getting anywhere with basic physics, so I am invoking my favourite reading material - steampunk.
These fictional people would understand my concept of weather mechanics. Unfortunately, they don't exist, driven out by oil engines, and the fact that magic doesn't exist, except in the popular media. Steampunk is an era stuck with steam engines, but a magic source of energy, because coal just doesn't cut it. They also have magic lifting gas for the dirigibles.
But it doesn't have to be a total fabrication. We don't know anything about the giant steam engines of the atmosphere and ocean. If you read some of the ideas of the mechanics, you realize they are using steampunk magic. Looking at this, I found some physics sites that have 10 times the hits than I do, and I don't agree with any of them. That's why we will never make any progress, unless we embrace the Scientific Method, but you won't find that with blogs, because everybody wants to be an influencer, and make money from ads.
All these available illustrations appear to be 'hand waving' and don't care about the laws of physics. Basically, we have the warm air of the ocean plumes meeting a cold feed from the North, and they come in with a curl. That is, there is an offset of how they collide. The cold comes in on the left side, and curves in. The hot is curling from the south and the right side. They swirl in like the ying-yang symbol. Nobody pushing clange looks at the cold side.
Cold white, hot black. That's about as far as conventional thinking goes. But what is the real mechanics that makes a hurricane a giant engine?
