Because i've been terrified. <br /><br /> I think it's not only the PDO that's causing our troubles. but the +AMO as well. The AMO and and the NAO are intertwined. I THINK the +AMO is the problem. When the PDO switched back to negative briefly our blocking problems did not decrease EXCEPT for those two double dip el nino years they pretty much remained the same.A persistent thorn in our sides. <br /><br />There are those who are going to disagree with this and say that the AMO does NOT have a strong enough correlation to effect us here. <br /><br />I would really like to hear cliff's thoughts on this matter. even though he says the atmosphere doesn't need causality to set up stubborn patterns such as this one.

It is you trying to link two completely unrelated events in an attempt to silence those who refer those who deny the science colloquially as 'Climate Deniers'. It is simply shorthand for a subgroup, who deny the very existence of AGW. A more apt term would be hard to come by.<br />I have never ever thought of Climate Denier in the same context as denying the Holocaust. Personally, I believe you are soiling their memory making such a specious claim.Heavyhemihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17178264842878827063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-59335358095633797012019-12-09T17:12:15.571-08:002019-12-09T17:12:15.571-08:00I would love to be able to take that class, but I ...I would love to be able to take that class, but I am not a UW student and I am not over 60, is there any other way?JOSHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-10285751898781664122019-12-09T16:11:46.349-08:002019-12-09T16:11:46.349-08:00Chilly, foggy day in NW Bellingham today.

Between that and a lack of funding, there has been a noticeable decrease in the accuracy and precision of forecasts issued by the NWS over the last 5-10 years.

So, if we see high pressure, we look for high pressure trends, etc. <br /><br />But have we compared the RATE of unique weather compared to previous years? We are seeing unique high pressure now, but are we also seeing a high number of other unique weather conditions (i.e. hot summers, historic low rain, etc, etc)? <br /><br />Why not look at all the types of record weather instead of comparing one to only itself? <br /><br />An example for clarity (numbers made up): Let's say in 2017 we saw 5 high temp records, 2 months with low rain records, and 1 month with high wind records. 8 extreme records broken. Then in 2018 we see 12 extreme records broken, then in 2019 we see 15 extreme records broken. Is anyone tracking this kind of stuff?
