Here are today’s maps: Lisa

This is Lisa Campbell, I’ll be posting daily charts for the next few days while my dad is on a short hiatus.

The study discussed in yesterday’s letter provided substantial science-based evidence that a super-abundance of water vapor, forming sporadically in the atmosphere at a very high altitude, generates its own amount of greenhouse energy to the surface below—as an addition to … Continue reading →

I will mainly be showing maps and not writing much again today.  However, there is something else that I highly recommend for your reading, a fascinating article about the Columbia River basalt eruptions, recently published in Geophysical Research Letters.  Results of … Continue reading →

I’ll start today with one more look, on today’s map, at high-altitude air pressure over Antarctica. This nice compact shape of the blue zone, with no irregularities on the border, is what we have come to expect for this region. … Continue reading →

I’m Lisa Campbell. My dad needs to take the day off today due to some medical issues. He still wants to publish a record every day of key climate maps that illustrate much of the story about how the Arctic … Continue reading →

I found another article about the Antarctic warming event that you may find interesting because of all the quotes from scientific experts:  “https://www.theenergymix.com/2022/03/20/scientists-shocked-as-impossible-antarctic-heat-wave-sends-temperatures-40c-above-normal/.  One paragraph is especially interesting:  “The warm conditions were caused by an extreme atmospheric river of water … Continue reading →

Warm anomalies in both polar regions have dropped a degree or more today. Each change is associated with the reduced influx of a key atmospheric river (AR) and its overhead precipitable water (PW) content. I will be showing four images … Continue reading →

The Washington Post published another interesting article about the Antarctic anomaly yesterday, which has again been reposted by Peter Sinclair:  https://climatecrocks.com/2022/03/18/antarctica-90-degrees-above-normal-nothing-to-see-here/.  Scientists who were interviewed have more to say about the explanation, which they can see is related to the … Continue reading →

Antarctica captured my attention again today with an anomaly of +4.8C. The average for the whole continent is now up a total of 5.6 degrees in just four days. The bulk of the gain is happening in just one quarter … Continue reading →
