Old rules may not be as valid, as we once thought??? Excellent post. The same size we have too on such events are just so small the margin of error is quite high. Even re-analysis of ENSO events prior to 1950...you can't really make correlations to ENSO events now and even if so...alot of the re-analysis data may be quite suspect. When you have a strong ENSO episode that's obviously going to dominate and we know what that will do...especially a strong EL Nino but if its a weak ENSO signal or maybe even low end moderate...the correlation IMO is going to be pretty small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Wrt to climate change: I wonder if the more comprehensive environmental impact modeling takes into consideration smoke aerosols? I mean is it built into the complex math of it - Does smoke's reflective nature equal that of a non-human Earth clouds. If so, is there thresholds of mass composition in the ambient space of the atmosphere. Does that matter at sigma levels where the density of air is lower, so the same mass of smoke disperses more and so it becomes a morass of 2nd and 3rd order partial derivatives... etc... Smoke is pale on satellite...but it is not white. That may seem rather simplistic or unsophisticated ..but, white is white because it reflects more proficiently than dark. That isn't simple, it's just fact (not that anyone thought otherwise - heh). So logic implies that smoke doesn't reflect as well as cloud but ... there could be some other micro-physics that are less than obviously effecting that. But it does reflect some, it has to. It just is a matter of absorption versus - Very complex, because diffused smoke particulate matter is composed of a vastly differing spectrum of compounds. Any one of which reflects vs absorbs at different electromagnetic wavelengths. It's like an oil refinery Bible failure and Hades on earth soot bomb probably doesn't have the same albedo to absorption ratio as say regular western typical wild fire exhaust. I imagine there could be a theoretical spectrum, where say at one end you have comet/asteroid impacts, then ...oil ... volcanism ... woodland/wild fires ... SAL (saharan air layer) ... spread out from big to lower cost in the global heating budget. And it matters for climate science ( obviously..) because reflecting S/W radiation doesn't end up trapped L/W radiation, in a richer greenhouse fart world.

Typhoon Tip Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Looking at that yellowy .. subtle orange hued firmament with the sun just feebly strong enough to still dapple shadows under trees and shade ... I always imagine that is what it must be like on a planet that has a red dwarf for a sun. Of course .. any such world is unlikely to have trees like we visualize of them here on Earth ... but just the quality and casting of light.

Typhoon Tip Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 heh... looking at D1 and D2 hashing displays over at SPC ... Classic timing contention for us. Too late today, and then tomorrow there's a line a TCU around 1:44pm N/S from MHT to Wilmantic CT that ends up a back lit wall of CB's rollin' out under the tropopause over the Boston Harbor later in the day.

I dunno - it would help ( maybe ..) if the smoke would alleviate. It's stealing hours from SB CAPE generation. It does actually seem like the sun is shining a bit more sharply to the surface as I type, and checking high def vis loop, there appears to be some thinning going on. We'll see for today but either way, it's still probably western zone and it's later-ish spill-over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
