Typhoon Tip Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Alleluia !! Finally we have the GDAS on the same page for this damn thing ... https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/stratosphere/strat-trop/gif_files/time_pres_TEMP_ANOM_JFM_NH_2021.png We did mention that they may update the system when 000/Holiday traffic returned to office well I'll be! wow... Yeah, so that is a SSW... no question... And, I have a lot of experience with following these over the years, and I can tell just by looking at the contouring as that is emerging...that is downwelling as the emergence will probably show. Not 100% sure of that ...but that appears based on historical referencing like it will show a node ...probably in the 50 to 70 sigma levels... Then, again out toward week two in the 100 ...so on and so on... Having said that, the AO/ .. PV response/correlation is not today. It is not next week... In fact, it may only start to effect the stability of the PV verticality by the end of week two... At which time ( probably...) the guidance et al will be flagging either another -AO, ...or, a revitalized one. Thing is, I have seen a couple of cases of -AO ... lost in the din of a -AO winter. I think I read tweet from someone who mentioned that it could be 'merging' with ongoing other shit, recently - boo yah to whomever did because ... yeah that happens. In either case, 20 days is the standard lag correlation for thus who are interested ( probably Will from what I've gathered...heh ) Having said all this part dieux .. As any would-be PV break- down or ...failure to break up leads to a new break down ...whatever, any blocking could favor cold hemispheric conveyors over in Euras and Russian... keep that in mind. We could have a nice SSW --> -AO circuit and end up not getting it here until the Global wave numbers rotated on around just in time for April through June... kidding Another way to detect the legitimacy of SSW ...as it relates to the plausible slowinging of the PV circulation eddy... is the U-coordinate wind anomaly, which shows up nicely in tandem with this the emergence in the thermal layout.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 But don't - please - group me in with those SSW abusers ... I've never pushed that as a very dependable device for much other than indirectly, with AO modulation and so forth ... But, that can and I have said so many times, mean anything. I just said so up there - -AO could come and go, and be hidden inside a neggie hemmy and we don't really notice it. Or, it could force a -AO ..but the conveyors setup and offload somewhere else because of just where the blocking happens to orient... There is almost 0 predictive skill in using SSW --> -AO to predict specific weather phenomenon ...and I haven't actually seen any formal reviewed work that correlates it to snow... temperature patterning is implicit, sure. From that I suppose we can infer there must be a correlation - duh...cold ...snow ? right - But, distribution is different every time and not ubiquitous as far as I'm aware. It's like a adding vanilla to the cake mix - it's not absolutely necessary and it might help it taste yummier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the most "useful" aspect of an SSW going on right now for snow lovers is that it would act as a major vehicle to disrupt the baseline La Nina Feburary climo (even if we take your stance that it is a muted ENSO climo signal with hadley cells....if anything that probably makes the Feb la nina climo even worse). Feb Nina is usually not all that favorable for our region unless we have some -AO assist or other disruption and the SSW could be that disruption we want.

Wouldn’t a Nina be warmer but northern stream active, so good for NNE? I find myself craving a late blooming Miller B that’s blows up over BOS. Used to hate those damn things in the MA.

Feb Nina is usually not all that favorable for our region unless we have some -AO assist or other disruption and the SSW could be that disruption we want. Hopefully we can continue to keep punching above-average height anomalies into Greenland and into the Arctic region. The big key regarding the SSW too is the structure of the pattern in the upper troposphere and what's already in place. Maybe the SSW would be responsible, or a driver, into plunging colder air back into Canada and perhaps eventually our way, but if the North American pattern is kinda garbage preceding the SSW...it may not be much help for us. What I really like is the signal for a major ridge to become established across the eastern Pacific...very similar to what we actually saw much of the summer and fall. There also continue to be signals for higher pressure around Greenland and if that can remain the case and be strong the PV should get attacked and weakened. Question: Looking at 18z GFS ~200hr...is that classified as a wave-2 or wave-3 pattern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastonSN+ Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Watch us get shut out during the projected good period, everyone will be in agony seeing the NINA Feb in the models, then the SSW gives us blocking with the negative PNA and we overrun ourselves to a decent winter.
