Arctic Oscillation:

Global Patterns - Arctic North Atlantic Oscillations AO NAO State Climate Office of North Carolina

The Arctic Oscillation (AO) is a climate index of the state of the atmospheric circulation over the Arctic. It consists of a positive phase, featuring below average geopotential heights, which are also referred to as negative geopotential height
anomalies, and a negative phase in which the opposite is true. In the negative phase, the polar low pressure system (also known as the polar vortex) over the Arctic is weaker, which results in weaker upper level winds (the westerlies). The result of the weaker westerlies is that cold, Arctic air is able to push farther south into the U.S., while the storm track also remains farther south. The opposite is true when the AO is positive: the polar circulation is stronger which forces cold air and storms to remain farther north. The Arctic Oscillation often shares phase with the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) (discussed below), and its phases directly correlate with the phases of the NAO concerning implications on weather across the U.S.

The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) consists of two pressure centers in the North Atlantic: one is an area of low pressure typically located near Iceland, and the other an area of high pressure over the Azores (an island chain located in the eastern Atlantic Ocean). It is important to note that these two locations are most commonly used to measure the NAO, but studies have found that the pressure centers move around on a seasonal basis, and other locations have also been used for measuring this index. Fluctuations in the strength of these features significantly alters the alignment of the jet stream, especially over the eastern U.S., and ultimately affects temperature and precipitation distributions in this area. It is also important to note that the AO and NAO are two separate indices that are ultimately describing the same phenomenon of varying pressure gradients in the northern latitudes and the resultant effects on temperature and storm tracks across the continent.

and if the pattern keeps up, most of the USA will be frozen over next winter, leaving only Florida as the escape. Hmm, maybe I can get top dollar for my home?

.
All it takes is one inch of snow that makes it through the summer without melting. The next summer, there are two inches, and the summer after that...

Next thing you know, Chicago is underneath a mile of ice.

.

Erm, it is a bit more complex than that.

Let's don't confuse the issue. People might get worried that we are all going to boil to death next year. They will go out and buy string bikinis instead of snow parkas. Think of it from a risk management perspective. A person can always peel off the parka and get naked if it gets too hot, but people can't grow mammoth hair over night.

If people get that impression it is because they don't understand what the science is telling them, and that is usually because they either haven't taken the time to find out more about it, and/or they are piss poor at science.

Or, the scientists are either too lazy or too pompous to take the time to explain it in understandable terms.

.

Take a class, dude.

So we've warmed over a period of150yrs

How old is this planet again?
That isn't even a blink

Our existence on this planet is just a blink as well. But we have wreaked havic on it in the short time we've been here. The issue isn't how old the planet is. The issue the increase in temperature, but more importantly, the rate of change, which is faster now that at any time in the last 10,000 years at the least. And these changes are causing serious problems not only with our climates, but with the biosphere.

You like to use the adjusted data too... the stuff that has been infilled and homogenized which always results in spurious warming...

Sell now or buy hip boots later.

Watts Up With That

This has all kinds of relevance when you consider that the region currently buried in snow for the third year in a row could very easily become a glacier if the snow does not fully melt for just one year causing a ripple effect of albedo change...

The coldest day ever! Temperature records broken across the country by the 'Siberian Express' cold snap as Manhattan hits 1F

• In New York City, the temperature was 1F Friday morning, beating the record low from 1950, and snow is expected in the city over the weekend
• Cold weather expected to last through Friday, with sub-zero temperatures forecast in parts of Northeast
• On Thursday Embarrass, Minnesota reported a temperature of -41F - without the wind-chill factor
• Some place, such as
• The temperature in Boston is below freezing, as the city is set to break the record of 16 days below 32F set in 1961
• In Florida, strawberry and orange crops have frozen over because of the harsh winter weather

The air mass known as the Siberian Express traces a line all the way back to the Russian territory, crossing over the North Pole on its way to Canada and into the U.S.

Six inches of snow is expected in Maine and New Hampshire by Friday. Three inches of snow was also forecast for the Midwest, Tennessee Valley and in the southern Appalachians.

Sub-zero temperatures are expected to wipe the region from Ohio to West Virginia and up into the Mid-Atlantic.

Michigan, Indiana, southern Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia and far western Virginia are forecasting morning lows of minus 20 degrees.

Get used to it folks cuz this is our new reality.

Yup. The world is indeed getting COLDER.

January second-warmest on record globally

I guess you did at that.

By, supposedly .01 C. The problem is the error bars are .1 C. Only in the mind of the warped would that even see daylight, much less get sent to the dutiful media. Who then, for the most part failed to report the follow up where the climatologists admitted that there was only a 38% chance that what they claimed was actually factual. Leave it to olfraud to fail to mention that as well....

thank god the average temp where i live will be back to 80 this week.

False, according to your graph. You pick a, let's say 36 year period and I will as well and I bet I can come up with an equal or steeper increase in temps.

Climate isn't measured in years. It's measured in centuries. Look at the period between 1945 and 1975. We see a decrease of 0.4*C
Look at 1875 to 1975 We see no change at all. Combine that with people fudging the numbers and you've got nothing.

NOTHING AT ALL!

January second-warmest on record globally

The U.S. continued its Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ways in January. There was freakish heat in the West and more typical winter chill in the East. The Western warmth was far more pronounced that the cool was in the East, however, as seven states had one of their 10 warmest January months on record, while no states were top 10 coldest.

In all, 3,499 daily warm temperature records were broken in January, compared with 775 cold ones.

"Winter seems to have completely forgotten about us out here," Kathie Dello, deputy director of the Oregon Climate Service at Oregon State University, said during a press call with reporters Thursday.

Ski areas are shut down due to the lack of snow in Oregon, she said, while people are mowing their lawns and flowers have blossomed.

California is also seeing its warmest and driest winter on record. As a whole, the U.S. had its 24th warmest and 18th driest January.

My, you do love to repeat that lie, Walleyes. But the whole of the world knows better.

LOL. Billy Booby, ol' dummy, watch this summer.

 

[initforme]

Big deal. 1 degree and people get in an uproar. Again, a bunch of softies can't take a slight chill in the air. When did 1 degree become so "cold". Just more stuff for the press about nothing. I hope the cold spell sits over the soft south for a few months. Would be worth watching.

 

[Rexx Taylor]

I just can't wait till April when the florida heat collides with the south and here we ago again with the F/4,, F/5 Tornadoes and they will all be blamed in GB, Bush, Fox News and Scott Walker.

Last summer was 47th warmest in 57 years according to the adjusted trends and dead coldest when raw data is used going back to 1880... This year will be a repeat....Dumb Ass..

that's 0.01 deg C... FYI

Too funny, Old Crock posts up Version 5.3 data which is infilled and homogenized data from a model to create the spurious warming. the difference is a deviation of 1.4 deg C in rise from the raw data and Version 2.

Why would a government agency completely fabricate temperature rise? When empirical real world data says nope! The pure desperation of the alarmists is stunning...
