Frozen knife clipper
#climate #weather
On my blog I'm calling it 'Clipper of Frozen Death', but that's ridiculous. The mechanics are neat, and I've never seen this before. In Europe, the cold blob has gobbled Germany.

Twitter on the verge of being gutted

It's really a question of 'Who cares?' This article pumps up disaster.

The Nvidia card can fit in a large suitcase. And we wonder why Google Stadia failed, this is a true Man P*ssing Contest. 😍

And we wonder why we see so many ransomware attacks. 😅

North America has the Pacific plumes spouting a fountain of cold on us. I am surprised that the Europe cold blob keeps moving. The Guard headline: Met Office predicts more high winds and flooding as ‘atrocious’ weather continues

Sea levels rise

You can see that the sea level at Boston is constantly rising. NASA will bury deep down that 'absolute sea level' is not rising. I always used to call that sea level. I am not stating what is going on here.

The Stable Earth

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2022/11/221116150633.htm

The concept of 'Total Disaster' requires instability. The fact that we are here, making fun of Musk, is that the Earth is stable. This is just one of many stabilizing mechanisms that I have found, and that require more physics in the field.

State of the oceans update
#weather #climate #australia
I normally wait for the ocean current report, but I won't do video here. La Nina is no longer the little sister and has become bigger than El Nino. That's very sexist, anyway. Continuing to call it La Nina is equivalent to calling an M9 a microearthquake I am constantly looking for any sign that the Pacific Cold Phase is going away. This type of ocean current change can last for decades or centuries. Poor Australians can continue to grow mushrooms in their hair for the next 300 years. I now suspect this sort of thing was behind the Little Ice Age.

They may have to close this early for the next decade.

Physics weather
#weather #climate
The Pacific plumes are holding, as they scoop cold air down on NA. Once the pattern holds, it could stay for a month or two. The Europe cold blob appears to have stopped.

Texas earthquake

Just an extension earthquake, but they continue to get bigger and bigger.

South Africa rainy
#weather #climate
I had looked at the historical records and SA was very rainy during the 70's cold cycle.

They join Australia in the La Nina Follies.

Interesting. There was so little activity this morning that I feared I may have been cancelled. I'll check again tomorrow.

Programming the Game of Earth
#physics #weather #climate
All basic physics action is now in games. Nobody bowls, plays billiards, throws snowballs, etc. It's all noses to the screen.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_stream
The Jet Stream is the biggest physics error in conventional weather forecasting. It is plotted with the particle motions of a river, but the particle motions are circular at a tilt. Jet planes can sail this to get East faster. It's like tacking into the wind in a sailboat. This would be an effect when you let your game run, like explosions.

Physics forecast explanation
#weather #climate
Game Physics for Weather
Cold blobs and warm ocean plumes can be programmed as objects. They have mass, kinetic and potential energy, and vector momentum. They are the anti-tank missile and the tank. Storms are effects of the two colliding. The Jet Stream is a linear storm and does not provide a force to move objects.

3 month physics forecast
#weather #climate
Weak Pacific plumes are allowing a constant pumping of Arctic air down NorAm. In Europe, the new cold air blob continues it's relentless march as the Atlantic plumes run out of steam.
