In the 1990s there was an early hurricane which brought Blue Mold up with it. The effect of the mold produced holes in tobacco leaves grown in Georgia, particularly the leaves desirable for cigar wrappers. People lost money that time. Great show, Mr. Eric! 🇺🇸 👍☕
Thanks for the update! Regarding western temperatures and fighting resultant wildfires if temperatures are above 120F I hear that the fire fighting agencies cannot fly their aircraft because there would not be enough lift. It seems that the trend is for higher temperatures and longer duration heat waves given more longitudinal amplification.
Thanks for the overview, lots going on. You're probably aware already, seems like some background acoustics being created when the cursor is being moved.
Fantastic forecast, as I have come to expect :-). Observation, I am hearing a ton of low end rumble from your mic (assuming)... Is there a High Pass filter setting on the mic or within your software? This should eliminate it. It sounds around the 80-100 Hz range.
This heat wave in the SW needs to leave. We have had low temps in the mid 90s and high temps over 112 for a few weeks now. Az had the hottest June on record and ,unless the monsoon returns, we'll have the hottest July as well. Might as well just say August will be a scorcher too 😢
Great overview but, and I will say this again, the staunch refusal of Nitrien Ag to actually look INTO the subsurface TAO buoy data makes you an extremely poor source for el nino / la nina information. And as a result you are giving bad data on it, as you are completely ignoring the super strong impending cold tongue about to swallow up the equatorial east pacific with -4, -5c anoms.
Interesting, so do we know that The ECMWF system (SEAS5) (included at 29:28 of this video), does not assimilate TAO/TRITON data? I guess I have assumed that it does, but could not confirm it.
Curious, I did some more digging. It would appear that SEAS5 does indirectly assimilate TAO buoy data withal. It starts with ORAS5 (ORAS5 explicitly assimilates data from the TAO/TRITON mooring array in the tropical Pacific.) Then, the OCEAN5 system includes ORAS5. In turn, ECMWF mentions that the ORAS5 system is integral to SEAS5. So, that makes me wonder, would taking the time to include a look into TAO buoy data in these morning videos be appropriate in that this data appears to be assimilated already into SEAS5 that is shown here? I seem to recall my post does not get approved if it contains links, so here are some suggested searches that can take you to the appropriate references: 1: "Use of in-situ data observations at ECMWF". 2: "The ECMWF operational ensemble reanalysis-analysis system for ocean and sea-ice"
