Agree on all accounts, thanks for clarifying. There are flaws in every study and new research can contradict previous. We just need to use our best judgement, understand that not every news article stating what is good or bad for us is accurate or scientifically proven... and take care of ourselves with common sense.

Trust me this isn't true I'll be 30 in October but I've known for a while I really need to improve dieting and such. Once I finish school when all I really have to worry about is work. But I have also been switching to French Vanilla creamer when I make my own coffee and with this I don't add any sugar. But it's not a bad idea to can the liquid sugar.

weatherwiz Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Does this make any sense at all... Say you construct a 15-year average of data and the range is from like 1990-2004. Does it make sense if you compare a single year's data record within that range of years to the computed average for that period? Is that alright to do?

weatherwiz Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 5 minutes ago, dendrite said: Sounds like this may be a criminal offense. I'm in a pickle right now. I was doing my senior research project on upper-level jet dynamics and Northeast severe weather but I was thinking of perhaps switching to something I was working on with tornadoes but I don't want to do anything that's going to be stupid or wrong. I had been doing a little something (which I started like 7 years ago) about quantifying tornadoes and determining what constitutes as an active or inactive season. I have computed averages and standard deviations using the following periods; 1950 - Present, 1950-1991 average, 1992- Present average, and then I did 15-year intervals...1950-1964, 1960-1974, 1970-1984, 1980-1994, 1990-2004, 2000-2014. Let's say I choose to right now focus on like 1990-2004...I was just wanted to make sure it's not incorrect to compare like 1998 to that 1990-2004 average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 So you want to compare an active year with a range that includes that year which is already a relatively small sample size? If you've already worked on a larger sample, why are you choosing 1990-2004? Is there cherry picking going on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've already worked on a larger sample, why are you choosing 1990-2004? Is there cherry picking going on here? I'm not necessarily choosing that specific time frame...it was more of just for an example context. I'm just trying to figure out how I would go about this in the most accurate way possible. What I was thinking of doing was use the data I've calculated for all the baseline periods (I also have the calculations of comparing a single year to the averages) and then just construct a list of most active years and least active years (but in this case season is year because I'm just doing seasons right now). So say I do like March of 1965. March of 1965 had 34 confirmed tornadoes. The March 1950 - Present average is 50 and standardized number was 27.6436 So comparing March of 1965 to the 1950 - present average that March was -0.58 standard deviations below average. Then I could just compare March of 65 for all the other periods. The point would be to just look at teleconnections/patterns and such and comparing active vs. inactive periods.

weathafella Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Beer-very rare for me-maybe once a year. I take the approach of total abstinence from alcohol about 80% of the time and drink what I want during the other 20%. Coffee? Disdain dunkin but will drink it if I must. Hot most of the time but often have cold during the summer. I grind my own 365 French roast from Whole Foods. $10.99 per 24 oz. Sometimes I break away and go to Caffe Nero but I admit to being a fan of Starbucks. I experienced it in Seattle 30 years ago and got hooked. Big heat this week. Hot again by late next weekend.

End of August heat and humidity. Pattern amplification aided by up- stream tropical activity, subsequent SW-NE heat pump via SW CONUS out ahead of preferred, deep H5 W CONUS trof. Atlantic ridge builds. Surface temperatures back up into the 90s along with dewpoints in the 70s. Oppressive environment. Pattern breaks as upstream energy digs N?E, a trailing, sweeping cold front late week with potential relief into the weekend. However uncertain, pattern possibly reloads the following week with return of heat and humidity. Confidence and forecast thinking within the discussion below.
