Hey, good news for you Poms. You know all those storms and flooding you've been having lately? Well, it looks like you'll be stuck with them for years. Enjoy.

Wavy air patterns mean UK’s extreme storms are here to stay

Quote
First Desmond, then Eva and now Frank: three major storms have slammed into northern England, dumping record amounts of rainfall and causing flooding misery, all within the space of just one month.

Now climate scientists are saying this isn’t simply bad luck; it’s driven by a combination of global warming and unusual ocean conditions. Worse still, this intense stormy pattern could have a few years to run.

Jennifer Francis, an atmospheric scientist at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, has previously shown that the rapid warming in the Arctic is making the jet stream – the high-level river of air that snakes around the northern hemisphere – more wavy. The warmer Arctic has made the north-south air temperature contrast smaller, which weakens the jet stream, and makes it more prone to being deflected by obstacles in its path, such as mountains or anomalies in ocean temperatures.

Now the UK is starting to feel the full impact of this wavy jet stream, thanks to an unusual cool patch of water in the North Atlantic, probably created by excess melting of the Greenland ice sheet. This winter, the jet stream has been skirting around the bottom of this cold North Atlantic blob and then aligning itself in a south-west to north-east direction, placing northern England right in the crosshairs.

And, as recent weeks have shown, this wavy jet can easily become jammed in place, firing storm after storm at the same locations. “Ocean temperature anomalies tend to persist for months to years, so it wouldn’t surprise me to see the UK dealing with stormy conditions for a few years,” says Francis.

If you get sick of being rained on, fly over to Australia for a holiday. We've been having mega bushfires.

Well, except up the the NT. It's been flooding up there too. Floods in the NT are much more interesting than your UK floods. The NT has crocs in the water.

Devious, treacherous, murderous, neanderthal, sub-human of the West.

Russian cosmonauts Yuri Malenchenko, Mikhail Kornienko and Sergei Volkov, NASA astronauts Tim Kopra and Scott Kelly and Tim Peake of the European Space Agency (ESA) will hold an in-flight interview from the International space Station on December 28.

Kopra, Malenchenko and Peake were launched to the International Space Station (ISS) on a Soyuz TMA-19M rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on December 15. Kelly, Kornienko and Volkov are expected to return to Earth in March, 2016, after spending a year in orbit.

that is a great interview to watch

I'm pretty excited about the gravity wave news. The only frustrating thing is that with two LIGOs they can't really say which part of the sky the signal came from (other than 'probably the southern hemisphere'). Need a third one for triangulation.

There's been plans for a third one in India. I don't think they'll have problems with funding now...

So what I got from that is that the world will be a much more beautiful place, once all the humans are gone.

Freeman Dyson's Interview on Feb 18,

Quote
Freeman Dyson is an esteemed mathematician and theoretical physicist at Princeton’s Institute for Advanced Study. In this interview, Dyson discusses his work at England’s Bomber Command in World War II, tracking the position of bomber forces. He explains the importance of scientific innovation in wartime, the effectiveness of strategic bombing campaigns, and why civil defense worked better in Germany than in Britain. Dyson later worked with Manhattan Project veterans Hans Bethe, Richard Feynman, and Robert R. Wilson, and recalls how they felt about the project. He discusses Niels Bohr and J. Robert Oppenheimer’s ideas for international control of nuclear weapons, and what methods he thinks would work best to further nonproliferation efforts today. Dyson also remembers visiting Oak Ridge, and explains Oak Ridge’s important role in building innovative nuclear reactors and conducting biological experiments.
