  1. Yes, very minimal SO2 release, but directly injected a massive amount of H2O to the strat and mesosphere. My colleagues have estimated a couple tenths of a degree warming over next couple years from this. Nature paper from Nov 19 finds a net climate warming signal already.
  2. He’s referring to the MJO: https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/people/wd52qz/mjo/mjo_chi.shtml 200mb velocity potential is termed “chi” and “k=1” refers to wavenumber one.
  3. Yes. Canonical volcanic climate response is summertime continental cooling and wintertime warming due to a strong +AO.
  4. Pinatubo and HT are VERY different eruptions and Pinatubo was 4 years before 95-96 winter.
  5. Crazy -NAOs can do amazing things. For instructional purposes and to show the type of opportunities we could see in December with this type of block: This is a complete big dog H5 pattern. Mega west-based -NAO, longitudinally extended trop PV underneath, and a strong shortwave entering in CA. But it’s mid-December and a Niña, both of which are factors working against big dogs. GFS squashes this shortwave, which is not a surprising outcome in a Niña. Still, we might get some enticing Op runs in the days ahead.
  6. It was a thorough team loss. Except for Tucker.
  7. He missed one today and that drop by Andrews was awful
  8. It didn’t work out great for us and we have the Boxing Day fiasco, but I think we’d all roll with that chance again.
  9. Great drive and they stall again
  10. ^When the -NAO is so big it becomes a -AO
  11. Ravens offense needs to get shocked back to life. They could have put this game away and now they’re down 1 at half.
  12. And now this high powered Jags offense is carving up the defense.
  13. How the hell are the ravens up against the play clock every damn play!?!
  14. You're trolling, but that is something we've seen before in Ninas. Precip amounts underperform at game time more often than in Ninos.
  15. Ensembles last night can kicked by 24-48hrs. They precise timing has been bouncing around so it’s not exactly a notable change. And as I’ve said several times, I don’t mind a modest can kick while our climo gets better day by day.
  16. December to remember or another Niña dud?
  17. Of course on principle I don’t like above normal temp days, but this was pretty nice wx to put up our Xmas lights.
  18. Yes it is, which normally is a bad sign for our snow chances. But with high latitude blocking like that, the whole conus is basically BN temp wise.
  19. This is kinda nuts for a D13 ensemble mean for the -NAO. That Dec 6-11 period is an above-average early season snow threat window.
  20. BWI: 14.6” DCA: 9.3” IAD: 16.1” RIC: 7.7” SBY: 6.5”
