This is a good day to do some map study with a focus on seasonality, since both of the polar regions are in extreme positions with respect to incoming radiation from sunlight.  In the north there are no longer any … Continue reading →

Last Tuesday I started writing about cold temperature anomalies and the next day I picked one out to follow and show images.  As chance would have it, this one has done nothing but grow bigger and stronger every day since.  … Continue reading →

An update on my special theory concerning a temperature feedback loop fed by streams of high-altitude water vapor.  The development of the theory was not really finished until June 15th, when the final touches were described in CL#1700, followed the … Continue reading →

The biggest and strongest warm anomaly in the world right now is the one in northwest Siberia, as shown on the following map.  It leaves a strong fingerprint on the 500hPa Geopot map, which helps to keep it going by … Continue reading →

Following yesterday’s discussion about major cold anomalies I thought this would be a good day to see what could be learned about one of them, like what it might be made of.  We already know how much these larger anomalies … Continue reading →

What are cold anomalies made of? Warm anomalies are easy to understand. All you need to do is to pick one off the anomaly map—the bigger and stronger it is, the easier to analyze—and look for a well-built stream of … Continue reading →

Through these letters I have identified the components and functioning of a special kind of temperature feedback loop, the substance of which is not well-recognized in other literature. There are other feedback loops made up of altogether different components that … Continue reading →

The “temperature feedback loop” is now very much on my mind. I believe it is a real phenomenon, and quite possibly an important thing to know about, yet this particular description appears to be unrecognized by any of the sciences. … Continue reading →

“Climate is an angry beast and we are poking at it with sticks” – Wallace Broecker Wallace Broecker, who died in 2019, was a legendary climate scientist who took a keen interest in processes that could cause abrupt changes in … Continue reading →

The temperature feedback loop I have been defining, which is now having such a powerful effect on the entire Arctic region, does not actually have any limitations with respect to geography, strength or direction. The Arctic is just a worst … Continue reading →
