Southern anglers are lucky, but you already knew that. There's great weather and you can generally fish year-round except on the rare days when lightning or extreme wind keeps you off the water.
In fact, the "worst" weather this time of year is usually associated with the cold fronts that announce the arrival of winter. These fronts often drop air temperatures 20 or 30 degrees, and water temps fall with them—though not as drastically.
While from a meteorological standpoint, a significant drop in temperature hardly compares to a days-long blizzard or an ice storm, it essentially spells the end of productive bass fishing for the year, right?
Not so fast. Three of...

Headline: Temperatures around average, rainfall average or a little below, greater chance of snowfall compared to last winter but a severe winter unlikely.
It’s that time of year again when Twitter weather accounts like myself dish out our long-range thoughts on winter in forecasts that you’ll either never hear about again (if it doesn’t go to plan) or you’ll never hear the end of. In reality, even the professionals and the Met Office cannot confidently predict the weather one month ahead – let alone three – so whilst a lot of thought goes into these forecasts concerning background signals and so on, it is pretty much just for fun.
Before getting to the main forecast summary at the end, I will run through a bit of info on some of the background signals considered within the forecast outcome. I will *try* and make it as simple and brief as possible, so not to drag my own time or yours! I will also point out as ever, I am only an amateur – not a meteorologist – and I don’t know everything!
Long-range seasonal models
Several different meteorological agencies release long-range anomaly charts for the months/seasons ahead, indicating a general synoptic trend. For the UK, the key thing to look out for is whether they’re more suggestive of a +NAO or -NAO pattern, this means looking at height anomalies across the North Atlantic from the Azores up to Iceland/Greenland alongside trends in Europe. Whilst it isn’t totally black & white; +NAO generally means ‘zonal’ – so Atlantic / mild / wet – whilst -NAO generally indicates ‘meridional’ – so a greater chance of colder & drier weather and increased snow risk.
The chart posted above is the Met Office GLOSEA5 November update showing predicted height anomalies for the period December to February (D/J/F). Whilst it isn’t as strong a signal as last winter, with positive anomalies over the Atlantic and into Europe coupled with negative anomalies over Iceland & Greenland, it is indicating a +NAO winter overall.
Posted above is the same as discussed before but this from the ECMWF seasonal forecast – again showing anomalies for the D/J/F period. This one is a little more interesting… yes it does have the anomalous heights over the Atlantic/Azores and into Europe but this also extends to the east/north-east of the UK over East Europe/Scandi. It also has only a very weak negative anomaly over Iceland/Greenland with largely no strong signal. I wouldn’t consider this a great chart but it isn’t the worst you’ll ever see.
More interestingly, when we push it forward to the January to March period (J/F/M) (therefore dropping December) – the signal becomes somewhat more strongly +NAO (not that the previous wasn’t also +NAO)… this suggests the ECMWF is going for a ‘front-loaded’ potential, with December seeing a high pressure influence before zonality increases into January and February.
I won’t post & discuss all of the seasonal models but the general theme does appear to be indicating a +NAO winter. Last winter these models were on the money, that doesn’t mean they’ll be right every year but they also shouldn’t be dismissed.
ENSO (La Nina)
The equatorial Pacific is currently in a La Nina state and has been for some months since late summer / early autumn when the 3.4 region SST anomaly dropped below -0.5. This is the ‘cold phase’ with El Nino being the ‘warm phase’. It looks like this La Nina will persist into 2021 and likely throughout our winter. Its link with UK winter weather is often subtle and indirect but historically there are some correlations, the most of note is a weak/moderate La Nina favoring a ‘front-loaded’ winter with an increased chance of high pressure/blocked patterns.
Looking at the Nino 3.4 region SST anomaly index, you can see there was a period of steep cooling in late October and into early November with the index dropping below the -1.5 ‘strong La Nina’ threshold, peaking at near -1.7. A strong La Nina is considered a poor signal for UK winter weather. Since then, waters have warmed a little and in recent weeks we have plateaued comfortably within the ‘moderate La Nina’ range (-1.0 to -1.5) which is considered more favorable. I wouldn’t like to say for certain just yet that the -1.7 in early November was the ‘peak’ of La Nina cooling but at the moment it appears a moderate La Nina winter is more likely than a strong one. The latest index value 05/12/2020 is -1.246.
Always worth throwing in a mention to solar activity and the recent solar minimum, we very recently came out of the cycle 24 solar minimum (as you’d easily guess, indicating very low solar activity) and we now know we are entering solar cycle 25. These cycles take around 11 years so we expect solar activity to increase over the next few years towards solar maximum and the next minimum is over a decade away!
It’s also worth noting just how weak cycle 24 was, in fact it was one of the weakest cycles ever recorded (although not as weak as the Dalton Minimum cycles 5 & 6). Cycle 25 is expected to be just as weak if not slightly weaker.
For the UK and winter – there is a credible link between the solar minimum period (especially the year or two after) and increased amounts of high latitude blocking with meridional ‘wavy’ jet stream – this opening up the likelihood of more anomalous weather (possible reason behind the frequent hot plumes & record temperatures in both summer 2019 & 2020?). That all said, it is only an increase in probability – suffice to say we won’t have continuous high latitude blocking for the next 24 months!
Quasi-biennial Oscillation (QBO)
Another background signal we look at is the QBO, essentially it’s a cycled variation in the winds that circulate high up above the equator. Once every 14-ish months, these winds switch direction and this change can have an impact on the jet stream. When QBO is positive/westerly, the UK is at a greater risk of Atlantic zonality with a stronger jet – meaning more in the way of mild & wet winter weather. When QBO is negative/easterly, the jet stream can become somewhat weaker which allows for a greater chance of cold weather, less rain and also a heightened risk of PV (polar vortex) disruption and/or an SSW (sudden stratospheric warming) event.
QBO is usually known for being quite uniform in its cycles – but of course in 2020 it had other ideas. QBO transitioned from westerly to easterly back in January (2020) when the monthly index value went negative (+1.66 in December 2019 to -2.51 in January 2020) and this winter was supposed to be a straightforward QBO-easterly winter. In April the 30mb zonal winds were still negative, down to -5.03, but by June they’d reverted back to westerly and the QBO index reached +0.34. This increase in westerly zonal wind at 30mb has continued ever since – the November index value was +11.15… far from easterly!
There does appear to be some conflicting opinions on where we stand with QBO at the moment. As shown in the chart above, easterly winds in the far upper levels of the stratosphere (shown as those blue colours in the far top right hand corner) are now slowly starting to descend down through the stratosphere again. However, at 30mb where the index is measured (you can see the faint line running across the chart, that marks 30mb) we are still very much seeing westerly winds (as shown by the brown…or yellow?…gold? whatever colour – those are the westerly winds). It looks to me like QBO is westerly and will remain westerly for the duration of this winter – possibly transitioning to easterly late in the season which won’t be of much use. Some are theorising those uppermost level easterly winds between 10mb and 20mb could still have some impact on the jet stream (which has been rather tame in recent months, it’s worth saying) thus still maybe helping increase the probability of less wind/rain/mild and something more blocked this winter.
Sea surface temperatures (SSTs)
Looking at sea surface temperature anomalies – there are as ever three areas of interest; the equatorial Pacific, the north & north-east Pacific and the North Atlantic Ocean.
Not too much to say regarding the equatorial Pacific – it’s displaying the signature La Nina look with cold anomalies extending from South American coasts all the way towards Southeast Asia.
The first thing I noticed which is of some concern going into winter is the presence of notably warm SST anomalies across the north-east Pacific to the south of Alaska and west of Canada. This has been a persistent feature in recent years/winters and is a negative for those not wanting a mild/stormy winter. As things stand, I don’t think the winter as a whole will be dramatically mild/stormy but if it were to end up so, this would likely be taking a lot of the blame. Warmer waters around the north-east Pacific promote higher pressure in the area thus sending the jet stream on a north-west to south-east trajectory through the States, pulling down cold Arctic air into the eastern States which can in turn fire up a more powerful jet exiting into the Atlantic.
The North Atlantic SSTs look rather mixed but there isn’t the presence of the desired ‘tripole’ and colder than average waters sit not far to the south of Iceland & Greenland (although there is some anomalous warmth in the Labrador Sea between Canada and Greenland).
Eurasian snow cover extent
Something we watch closely in October is the expansion of snow cover across Eurasia. It’s believed that the greater the snow extent in October, the higher the chance of a weakened PV and negative Arctic Oscillation (AO) later into winter. The theory is; the more vast the snow expansion in October, the stronger the Siberian High going forward – thus eventually weakening the Stratosphere PV, this propagates down into the Troposphere PV and we end up with a -AO (blocked) pattern.
This October, after a slow start, snow cover expansion was healthy from mid and towards late month but some losses in the final week – including on the final day – left the October 2020 final result at a decadal low. Snow cover across the rest of the Northern Hemisphere was in contrast very healthy – at times sitting at a decadal high.
First and foremost, I want to point out this forecast is based on the assumption we do not see a sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) event this winter. At the time of writing this, zonal mean zonal winds @ 10hPa 60N are very strong compared to the climo average but all modeling is consistent and in agreement for these to weaken towards mid December – possibly to below the climo average. Whilst there is some stratospheric interest going forward, at this stage there is no major SSW (zonal wind reversal) ‘expected’. As I say, this forecast is based on the assumption one will not occur. If one does, more significant anomalous weather – both milder or colder – would be likely in the weeks after.
My forecast is for temperatures around average across the winter as a whole (UK mean anomaly -0.5C to +0.5C) with a very slight favour towards a little above. I’d consider both a significantly milder or colder than average winter (greater than +1.5C or -1.5C anomaly) rather unlikely. I’d lean towards December being a little below average, January closer to average and February possibly milder than average, but not significantly so. Greatest chance of cold spells into January.
Precipitation; average or a little below. December in particular looks to be drier than average – even if things turn a little more zonal for a time. January & February more mixed but possibly not delivering us a deluge. I’d put February as the month to most likely be wetter than average. UK winter as a whole rainfall %….85-105%.
Whilst I don’t think Winter 2020/21 will be historical and remembered for decades to come for severe, harsh & snowy weather – I do think it’ll offer up more potential snowfalls compared to the previous two. In all honesty, that really isn’t a huge prediction to make as the last two winters have been close to snowless. A greater chance of cold spells, hopefully some snow for us all (strongly assuming hear that everyone reading this is a snow lover, apologies if you aren’t!) and hopefully a lot less of the record strong polar vortex that dominated last winter. As for the whole ‘loaded’ thing, I’d stick with saying front-loaded more likely than back-loaded (cold/snow more likely Dec/Jan rather than Jan/Feb) but I don’t think it’ll be overly pronounced on either side – more of a mixed bag.
Thanks for reading… I’m not quite sure I achieved that “as brief as possible” goal but I’m not surprised 🙂 …. Nick


On August 25, Harvey, a Category 4 hurricane, made landfall near the Texas Gulf Coast. According to Weather.com, Harvey’s extreme slow movement Aug. 26 to 30 kept a fire hose of moisture pointed into southeast Texas and Louisiana for days, resulting in catastrophic flooding. Additionally, wind gusts from Harvey near its’ landfall point topped 100 mph, leading to widespread destruction of homes and buildings.
Harvey dumped more than 25 trillion gallons of rain on Texas and Louisiana during a six day period. Nearly 74,000 people needed temporary shelter and losses are estimated to be more than $190 billion, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.


(Reuters) – There is about a 60% chance that neutral weather conditions will prevail in the Northern Hemisphere this spring, a U.S. government weather forecaster said on Thursday.
The El Niño-Southern Oscillation-neutral (ENSO) weather pattern is marked by average long-term ocean temperatures, tropical rainfall and atmospheric winds.
The chance of the neutral weather pattern continuing through summer 2020 is 50%, the National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center (CPC) said in its monthly forecast.
It is expected that oceanic temperatures will remain elevated in the near term, particularly in the western and central equatorial Pacific Ocean, the weather forecaster said.
ENSO neutral conditions refer to those periods in which neither El Niño nor La Niña are present, often coinciding with the transition between the two weather patterns, according to the CPC.
The El Niño pattern brings a warming of ocean surface temperatures in the eastern and central Pacific every few years, and is the opposite of La Niña.
El Niño emerged in 2018 for the first time since 2016 and has been linked to crop damage, fires and flash floods.

|Chemistry students experiment with a bowl of dry ice.|

Chemistry Students Learn About Sublimation and CO2
Mrs. Haverkortʻs chemistry class did an experiment with a bowl of dry ice. They observed sublimation, a phase change from solid to liquid without going through the liquid phase, and discussed how the gas carbon dioxide is denser than the atmosphere as it sinks to the floor. They also lit candles around the bowl and demonstrated how, when the carbon dioxide replaced the air, the candles had no more oxygen and went out.


Early spring was cool and wet in Washington, but May was among the hottest and driest on record, which has state officials bracing for a worse-than-normal wildfire season.
State residents probably won’t see the record destruction of 2014 and 2015, Public Lands Commissioner Hilary Franz said Tuesday. But it’s already bad enough that different agencies have fought 315 fires around the state.
Those include significant fires in Eastern and Central Washington and wildfires in April in Western Washington, which is months earlier than normal, Franz said. The state already has deployed aircraft and other equipment so personnel will be able to get to fires soon after they start.
“It’s going to be a pretty challenging fire season,” Franz said.
The weather forecast for Eastern Washington calls for above-normal temperatures this summer and below-normal precipitation, said Robin Fox, of the National Weather Service office in Spokane. That’s similar to last year and 2012, but not as bad as 2014 and 2015, she said.


How to Predict the Weather With Coffee
For today’s forecast — the weather will be sunny with a side of coffee! Be sure to pack a spoon to stir those bubbles and start checking the weather, using your coffee.
For something that cannot be controlled on any level, we seem to plan our days around the weather pretty intently. The outfits that we wear and the social activities that we plan always rely on the weather; “can I wear these shoes or do I need rain boots?" “will this material become uncomfortable in the rain?” “will I be able to go golfing on Sunday?” Sounds like you? These are all questions we find ourselves asking constantly, all based on the weather.
We have newspapers, radio channels, and weather apps all to tell the weather. But what if there was a way for us to tell the weather without channeling our inner meteorologists, after all we can’t all know how to predict the weather based on looking at the clouds. Luckily there is a way to tell the weather without relying on any barometers to do so, and simply looking at the cup of coffee that we are already drinking!
Instead of just drinking your cup of coffee to enjoy it, from now on look into your cup for the weather as if it were a barometer!
What is a barometer? Invented by Galileo Galilei (1564-1642), an Italian astronomer who is known as the “father of observational astronomy,” the barometer is a scientific instrument that helps meteorologists forecast the forthcoming weather.
This instrument was designed to measure the air pressure levels in a particular environment. As the levels in air pressure change based on the weather, the barometer begins to shift as it starts reporting the change in air pressure — or the change in weather.
How do barometers work?
When there are different levels in the air pressure, the weather will begin to change (ranging from storm to bright blue skies). The lower the air pressure, the worse the weather will be predicted. High pressure is a good sign that nice weather will follow shortly. Since the barometers work based on air pressure, they can only predict the weather for a specific time range ahead; they cannot predict the weather for a day that will occur in 3 months time.
Because the barometer is such an important invention in terms of modern-day science, there are many different forms of barometers, all used to give an accurate representation of the foresee-able future. Such forms include water-based, mercury-based, vacuum pump oil, aneroid, and electro mechanical barometers. All measure air pressure in different ways and can forecast the weather.
No matter the form of the actual instrument, the air pressure levels are the key parts in determining the weather, both currently and in a couple of days time as well. Barometers are what help us know when there is bad weather coming or if we can expect to enjoy the sunny outdoors.
HOW TO PREDICT THE WEATHER USING COFFEE?
In today’s day and age there is no need for us to struggle as we try to understand how barometers work, we just want to know if we need an umbrella or not!
Fortunately, we have many forms of telling the weather that far easier than reading a scientific device. With the help of smart phones each and every person can now carry their own personal ‘barometer’ in their pocket, and not have to rely on some astrologist on the local news to tell us what the weather will be this afternoon.
There is nothing that can beat quickly opening your phone and seeing the weather in an instant...
In fact, there is! It is actually possible to forecast the weather by simply looking at your coffee. It’s already in your hands all the time, you might as well use it to predict the weather as well.
Coffee? It sounds so bizarre! How can you tell the weather with coffee?? As much as it seems unlikely, you can actually predict the weather by looking at the bubbles that your coffee makes. Those bubbles are able to show you the outdoor air pressure, thus allowing you to know what the weather will be.
The logic behind predicting the weather with coffee
In the simplest of terms, the bubbles from the coffee listen to the air pressure outside. The bubbles gravitate towards the pressure and if it is high, they will form in the center of our cup, indicating what we can call beautiful weather.
If the air pressure is low there is no place for the bubbles to gravitate towards, so they loosely scattered around the coffee cup. If the air pressure is more neutral than either high or low, the coffee bubbles will switch between the ends, predicting the weather to have a little of the bad weather and then followed by sunshine and calm weather.
Tips to using coffee as a barometer
- If the bubbles are in the center of cup - nice weather.
- If the bubbles form a circle around the coffee almost immediately - get your rain boots out as bad weather is coming.
- No bubbles at all? Not a problem! Simply add more coffee and stir.
High pressure = nice weather (sunshine)
Low pressure = bad weather (clouds, rain, and/or snow)
CAN YOU DO IT WITH INSTANT COFFEE?
Most definitely! The only requirement there is to predict the weather using coffee is a strong brew, in fact the stronger the better!
In order for this coffee trick to work you must have strong coffee as weak coffees will not be able to mask the strength of the air pressure and predict what will occur. The plus side to using instant coffee is that if you do not see bubbles form, you can always add more coffee to make sure you get that extra bit of foam.
By using store-bought coffee from your local coffee shop, it would not only be hard to see the bubbles as the cup is given to you already closed with a lid, but if there are no bubbles at all you cannot simply add more coffee.
With instant coffee you can predict the weather for the day without even leaving your house, or still know the weather while your phone is charging.
WHY SHOULD I PREDICT THE WEATHER WITH COFFEE?
Why not?! Weather and coffee both play equal parts in our daily lives! We find ourselves rerouting our days around them constantly. So why not have a fun way to incorporate both together!
Predicting the weather with coffee will give you a sense of why meteorologists love their jobs and what they do. It’s more than just looking at a map and reading a TelePrompTer, you actually need to understand what you are saying. With coffee, you are starting your day off in a fun manner and not simply following a routine.
Another plus to predicting the weather with coffee is that it is great for outdoor activities such as camping. Up in the mountains you don’t always have cell service to check what the local weather is for that day, if you have a cell phone with you at all. While you are up there camping out, you need to be prepared for all types of weather that are to come.
Most likely you will make sure to have coffee with you on your trip (there’s no way you can make it without it!), so that coffee can be easily used to let you know if you should take shelter or not. Just a quick glance at the bubbles in your coffee tumbler will let you know what type of weather lays ahead. Hopefully you’ll only see bubbles in the center of the coffee. Happy camping!

Oil Spills in the Sky
Looking back at a 1997 Earth Island Journal report on pollution from the airline industry
On July 25, CBS News joined the rest of the mainstream media to acknowledge mounting concerns over atmospheric pollution from jet aircraft. "The government has found that jet engine exhaust is adding to climate change and endangering human health, and needs to be regulated," CBS reported. At the same time, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced plans to employ the Clean Air Act to reduce the impacts of jet-pollution.

The EPA’s action came in the wake of a mid-April US District Court lawsuit filed by the nonprofits Friends of the Earth and The Center for Biological Diversity alleging that the EPA had failed "to enforce limits on heat-trapping greenhouse gas emissions from aircraft."
Meanwhile, a United Nations panel has suggested cutting airliner fuel consumption by an average of 4 percent — beginning in 2028. Unfortunately, the UN recommendation ignored the fact that aircraft fuel consumption (and, hence, pollution) is at its worst during takeoffs and landings — not while cruising at high altitudes.
These recent headlines brought to mind an Earth Island Journal cover story from the summer of 1997. Just as the Journal was the first magazine to feature a cover story on climate change ("The Climes They Are A-Changing," Summer 1988) it was also the first magazine to feature a cover story about the airline industry’s impact on Earth’s atmosphere ("Oil Spills in the Sky," Summer 1997).
Nearly 20 years have passed since the Journal first exposed these dangers. It is both gratifying and frustrating to see that action is finally being focused on addressing this serious environmental threat. In light of these recent developments here is a look back at our Summer 1997 report on aircraft pollution.

Oil Spills in the Sky
How Jet Aircraft Are Polluting the Skies and Changing the Weather
Viewed from space, there are four unmistakable signs that Earth is inhabited by humans: sprawling cities, forest fires, disappearing lakes, and aircraft contrails.
With 10,000 large commercial aircraft flying today and the number expected to double by the year 2020, contrails (short for "condensation trails") pose a growing environmental threat. Commercial jets have been crossing the skies since the 1950s, but scientists only recently have begun to notice evidence of climate change occurring beneath well-traveled jet routes.
One of the world’s most troubled routes, the North Atlantic Flight Corridor (NAFC) lies between 45 and 65 degrees north latitude and runs almost entirely over water. In 1990, between 700 and 800 aircraft traveled this route between the US and Europe each day – amounting to more than 200,000 flights per year.
Jet contrails are changing the weather and the number of jetliners could double in 20 years. Why isn’t this an issue?
Among the first to sound the climate change alarm was Stanley A. Changnon of the Illinois State Water Survey. In 1981, Changnon pointed out that the Midwest had grown cloudier since the 1960s and that the greatest changes had occurred in regions marked by heavy jet traffic.
University of Utah atmospheric physicist Kuo-Nan Liou found that high-level cirrus clouds in the skies above Salt Lake City had intensified by 5 to 10 percent between 1948 and 1984 – all major air-traffic hubs.
On the East Coast, Penn State meteorologist Tom Ackerman detected evidence of changes in surface temperature consistent with an increase in high-level cloudiness beneath the flight route connecting major cities of the east and west coasts.
In 1994, NASA scientists using GOES-8 satellite measurements reported that "in certain heavy air traffic corridors, cloud cover has increased by as much as 20 percent." In its May 1996 study, "Atmospheric Effects of Aviation," NASA estimated that subsonic flights in the NAFC had increased atmospheric soot by 10 percent, sulfur oxides (SOx) by nearly 10 percent and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from 10 to 100 percent.
Fry the Friendly Skies
Transatlantic jets burn between 2.5 and 3 tons of fuel per hour. In 1988, commercial aircraft consumed an estimated 70 percent of all jet fuel (with military and business craft accounting for another 24 percent). The world’s aircraft currently produce about 3 percent of the carbon dioxide gases attributed to human activity.
During take-off, a jumbo jet can devour 2 million liters (528,344 gallons) of air per second. In the first five minutes of flight, a commercial airliner can burn as much oxygen as 49,000 acres of forest produce in a day. According to Department of Transportation figures, flying a Boeing 747-400 from Washington, DC to San Francisco burns 17,232 gallons of jet fuel. (Fuel efficiency: 6.7 mpg.) A Boeing 747 averages 32 minutes taxiing, taking off and landing. During this time, it can generate 190 pounds of NOx – equal to the amount produced by driving a car 53,500 miles.
In addition to producing vapor trails that can stretch thousands of miles across the sky, jet exhaust also triggers the formation of artificial clouds by "seeding" the atmosphere with cloud-forming aerosols – droplets of sulfuric acid and particles of soot.
While NASA’s tests of jet engines at ground level found that less than 1% of the sulfur produced left the engines in the form of cloud-forming sulfuric acid droplets, researchers were startled to discover that, at jet-cruising altitudes, acid droplets accounted for at least 10% of the sulfur emissions.
The NOx ejected by jet engines contributes to global warming by helping to create ozone clouds that trap heat in the troposphere. In 1996, aircraft generated nearly half the NOx found in the mid-latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere between 26,000 and 40,000 feet, according to estimates cited by Ulrich Shumann of the DLR Institute in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany.
During the day, contrails either can reflect heat back into space (the Albedo Effect) or trap heat below (the Greenhouse Effect). When jets travel at night, however, contrails only trap heat in the lower atmosphere. University of Wisconsin climatologist David T. Travis theorizes that this may explain an unusual narrowing of daytime and nighttime temperatures recorded across the US.
Contrails have the potential to change local and national weather patterns, as well. Temperature differences between ocean and land surfaces heavily influence circulation patterns in the atmosphere, and warmer land masses can increase the frequency, direction and intensity of winds and storms.
University of Munich meteorologist Werner Metz has observed that "aircraft emissions are the only significant man-made source of pollutants in the upper troposphere and in the stratosphere." In a 1993 issue of the Journal of Geophysical Research, Metz concluded that the best way to protect the stratosphere would be to move all transatlantic jet routes at least 2.5° South (to take advantage of a higher troposphere at that latitude) and lower cruising altitude by 6,000 feet. "This would result in a decrease in stratospheric NOx emission down to 9 percent," Metz calculated.
A Growing Problem
The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) reported in 1994 that aviation fuel use and emissions were growing faster than other areas of energy use. While average world energy consumption rose 2.8 percent between 1983 and 1989, the annual use of aviation fuel crept up by 3.9 percent.
The EDF estimates that, in 1990, civil aviation consumed 133 million tons of fuel and generated four to 2 million tons of CO2.
According to a 1996 analysis by Boeing researcher Stephen L. Baughcum, in 1990, airline and cargo flights burned more than 10 billion tons of jet fuel and generated 125.6 million tons of NOx.
Baughcum estimated that military aircraft consumed 912 million tons of fuel and produced 21.4 million tons of NOx. The global total for 1990 came to 14.8 billion tons burned, which produced 160 million tons of NOx and 124.5 million tons of CO2.
The EDF has estimated that, even with a projected tripling of fuel efficiency, "fuel consumption and CO2 and water vapor emissions will jump more than six-fold by 2100." As in the case of automobiles, any efficiency gains in the air will be overwhelmed as the number of aircraft grows ten-fold over the next half-century. (The aircraft industry foresees these numbers doubling by the end of the 21st century.)
According to the EDF’s scenario, N0x emissions from subsonic aircraft could more than triple in the next century, while N0x and CO2 could "lead to as much as 10 percent of human caused global warming by 2050."
Meanwhile, a 1996 Natural Resources Defense Counsel survey has found that 75 percent of 50 major US airports we are undergoing expansion or planning to expand operations. Airport development promises to bring more air and noise pollution to nearby neighborhoods, while putting added stress on adjoining open spaces and wetlands. The Amicus Journal points out that airports "are exempt from some of the environmental standards that apply to industrial facilities" and also are exempt from the Community Right-to-Know Act requiring public disclosure of toxic hazards.
Under international agreement, jet fuel is not taxed – giving the airline industry subsidy to pollute. The Center for International Climate Change and Environmental Research in Oslo (CICERO) has suggested funding climate protection efforts by taxing fuel and passengers. A per-passenger tax of $8.70 would produce $10 billion by 2003. CICERO has proposed that the UN’s Global Environment Facility manage the revenue.
The Coming Superjets
By the year 2015, NASA estimates that aircraft fuel consumption will more than double, NOx emissions will nearly double and CO2 emissions will grow by 50 percent. But NASA’s figures specifically (and inexplicably) exclude the impacts of a "High-Speed Civil Transport (HSCT) fleet."
The new generation of supersonic HSCTs planned for the 21st century clearly will add to the impact of the world’s growing fleet of subsonic aircraft. The prototype HSCT now on the drawing boards could carry 300 passengers 60,000 feet above the Earth at twice the speed of sound. The first HSCT’s could be heading for the stratosphere as early as 2005.
Science News reports that superjets, ferrying VIP passengers between Tokyo and Los Angeles in under five hours, would create ground-rocking sonic booms capable of causing physiological harm or structural damage. With 500 ocean crossings each day, Science News predicts that superjets could have a serious impact on "whales, seals, sea lions and sea otters," not to mention "passengers on cruise ships and residents of Islands near ocean flightpaths."
In the 1960s, environmentalists grounded US plans to build a Supersonic Transport (SST) because of the damage the planes would wreak on the ozone layer. The only SSTs ever built were 13 British-French Concordes. The stakes are even higher as environmentalists prepare to fight the jet battle once again.

Grazing livestock is increasing carbon emissions from grasslands.
Fremont, CA: The grasslands, known for their cooling effect on the climate, are becoming climate warmers, as a result of increasing greenhouse gas emissions. The study was published in Nature Communication which showed that emissions from grasslands have increased by a factor of 2.5 since the 1750s, and it is mainly due to grazing livestock. This phenomenon is limited to areas that are not managed by humans and are sparsely grazed.
Grasslands account for 26 percent of the world's landmass and 70 percent of the world's farming area. It provides job opportunities to more than 800 million people and they are a crucial source for livestock and habitat for wildlife. It offers environmental protection, water conservation, and plant genetic resources.Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide are involved in the grassland ecosystem.Still, very little is known about the fluctuations that these three greenhouse gases have in their concentration that affects climate change.
The net carbon sinking ability of the grasslands was estimated to have increased in the last century, but it was mainly due to over sparsely grazed and natural grasslands.
Over the last decade, grasslands were managed by humans and have become an exclusive source of greenhouse gas emissions. Eastern and Southern China, along with India have large greenhouse gas sources (managed grasslands) due to high livestock density. The study highlights that cooling services provided by sparsely grazed and wild grasslands indicate that countries need to assess the greenhouse gas budget and manage their pastures, which is extremely important to meet the Paris Climate Agreement targets. The key takeaway from the study is that grasslands can help fight against the climate crisis by storing carbon in the soil, which is why conservation of grasslands should be included in the strategy to reduce climate change.


I grew up in North Texas, so how to respond when there is a possibility of a tornado is second nature to me. However, talking with travelers from other parts of the world I realized that not everyone knows what to do if they are on a trip and threatened with severe weather.
What is Tornado Alley?
Tornado Alley is the portion of the US that tornadoes happen the most often (see diagram). Texas leads the nation with the most tornadoes. Kansas and Oklahoma are the states that have the most tornadoes per square mile.
Large cities in Tornado Alley are Dallas/Fort Worth, Oklahoma City, Wichita, Amarillo, Omaha, Lincoln, Des Moines, Sioux Falls, and Cedar Rapids.
When Do Tornadoes Occur?
There is still some mystery to tornadoes that scientists haven’t figured out. But they happen in rotating thunderstorms when the air is sufficiently unstable.
For the air to be unstable enough for a tornado to occur, the dewpoint usually needs to be over 60 degrees F, and most commonly is over 65 degrees F. Dew point is figured using a calculation between temperature and relative humidity. Here’s a handy online calculator. For instance, right now we’re in a tornado watch in Fort Worth. The temperature is 81 degrees, and the RH is 61 percent. That would give us a dewpoint of 66. The peak season for tornadoes is May – July, and the peak time of day is 4-9 pm. But remember, just because it isn’t a likely time of year or day for a tornado to occur doesn’t mean it can’t!
Tornado Watch vs. Tornado Warning
A tornado watch means to be vigilant and watch. A tornado could occur given the current conditions.
A tornado warning means someone has seen a tornado – whether a weather spotter looking at the sky or a meteorologist looking at the radar. Find out where the tornado has been spotted and respond accordingly. Some counties are pretty large, so finding out exactly where the tornado was seen is key.
Handy Bookmarks for Your Smartphone
When the electricity goes out, you usually lose wifi capabilities as well. Have these handy websites bookmarked on your smartphone just in case!
- http://mobile.weather.gov – The mobile website for the National Weather Service. You can get up to the date information on the area you are traveling.
- http://www.faa.gov/mobile/#asdBrowseDelays – The mobile website for the FAA showing airport closures and delays.
Know Where to Go
Find out where the tornado shelters are where you are staying or where you are visiting. Is bad weather threatening when you are at an amusement park or festival? Ask someone where the shelters are. In tornado alley, they will know. If they don’t – they should, and making them find out will be beneficial to them as well. Lots of times, the shelters are the bathrooms and are marked with a tornado shelter sign.
If you are renting a home and the owner left no direction, the rough guidelines are to get in the lowest level of the house in a room without windows or outside walls. A next best place is the bathtub with pillows or a mattress over you. Try to find a way to shield you from flying debris.
Are you in the car? Get out. If you can get to a building, do it. If you can’t, get in a ditch and lie down. Cover your head as best you can. Do not get under your car. They frequently are flipped over or tossed about.
Does the radar look nasty before you go to sleep? Sleep in pajamas that you wouldn’t mind being outside in. Put your shoes, wallet and cell phone somewhere very easy to grab as you run out. Do the same for your children. If you have a flashlight, have it reachable.
If You Hear a Tornado Siren, Act Immediately
One of my biggest pet peeves living in Minnesota was that they would sound the siren for a severe thunderstorm warning so a siren didn’t mean much. In Tornado Alley, if you are outside and hear a siren – get yourself inside and take cover. We don’t screw around with that.
Consider Traveling with a Small Weather Radio
NOAA Weather Radios are very handy at home anywhere in the United States. Consider buying a small weather radio and packing it in your bags when you are traveling. It doesn’t take up much space, can be bought for about $30, and it can be very valuable if severe weather strikes.


It was 39 years ago this week that nature’s violent side was unleashed in our area in a way that we have never seen before and never seen since. The Super Outbreak of 1974 is the worst recorded tornado outbreak on record. The outbreak brought a combined 13 tornadoes to our area including Paulding County, Hillsdale, and Monroe counties. In all, 148 tornadoes were confirmed over 13 states. The twisters injured nearly 5,500 people and killed 315. If each tornado damage path were put end to end, the damage path would end up being 2,598 miles long. The number of tornadoes were high in the outbreak, but the number of devastating tornadoes also set records.


This misconception falsely presumes that if the climate changes naturally, then evidence strongly supports manmade co2 as the primary cause of recent. Natural climate variability is extremely unlikely to have contributed more than about one-quarter of the temperature rise observed in the past 60. Climate change is a natural phenomenon, according to a shock new in the works of those who say global warming is a result of man-made activity most scientists will say climate change is caused by an increase of co2.
Most scientists feel certain that climate change is both a naturally-occurring here is a partial list of the possible contributions made by man to climate change. Even without man-made climate change we would expect the beginning a planetary postponement of the natural rhythm of earth's ice ages,. Watch bbc video clips full of interesting facts about the earth's changing climate that feature popular presenters such as professor iain stewart.
Scientists can track these earlier natural changes in climate by clearly how much natural and manmade factors contribute to global warming. This title should be compulsory reading for all educators andpoliticians -- dr gerrit j van der lingen, founding member, new zealand climate science. This is a list of scientists who have made statements that conflict with the scientific consensus scientific opinion on climate change was summarized in the 2001 third assessment these scientists have said that no principal cause can be ascribed to the observed rising temperatures, whether man-made or natural. Humans causing climate to change 170 times faster than natural forces greenhouse gas emissions caused by humans over the past 45.
Energy secretary rick perry on monday denied that man-made carbon dioxide emissions are the primary cause of climate change research indicates that natural causes do not explain most observed warming, especially. Global warming no, natural, predictable climate change been man-made (“ anthropogenically-induced”) based upon models that exclude. Natural climate drivers include the these human-made and natural.
Obviously, in order for there to be any man-made global warming, to coincide with an entirely natural increase in average temperatures. The external climate forcing processes and the internal climate forcing processes except the man-made processes are grouped together as natural causes of. Most of the observed recent global warming results from human activities entirely natural, while the other four are predominantly caused by human influences.
They don't think its an hoax, they think man made climate change is a to prove the climate is changing in any meaningful or un-natural way. Shows the relative comparison of natural and man-made causes of climate change.
Some people argue that global warming (or, more accurately, global climate change) is simply a result of cyclical climate changes that take place naturally thro. But how can we investigate whether an observed change in the climate is caused by man-made climate change or is simply due to naturally. Global warming is happening now, and scientists are confident that greenhouse revolution, earth's climate changed due to natural causes not related to human activity without including the contribution of the greenhouse gases added by humans any contribution volcanoes may have made to recent global warming. The statistical probability that climate change is not manmade is 01 all to prove that climate change has not been a natural phenomenon.

Hefei Online News (Reporter Wang Xiaofeng) Recently, the Chaohu East Station Comprehensive Management Office took multiple measures and dispatched multiple mechanized sanitation vehicles such as multifunctional dust suppression vehicles, sprinklers, and sweepers to cooperate with sanitation workers to carry out road cleaning and sprinkling and dust removal operations. Effectively suppress road dust pollution, improve the quality of road environmental sanitation in Chaohu East Station area, and strive to create a clean, tidy, comfortable and pleasant travel environment for passengers.
Chaohu East Station dispatched multifunctional dust suppression vehicles to let the station area "dust settle"
An imported spray device is installed at the rear of the newly put into use multifunctional dust suppression vehicle. By remotely controlling the device, the spray pitch angle can be changed within the range of -10-60 degrees as needed, and the spray distance can reach up to 130 meters. The elevation can reach up to 50 meters. The water mist particles sprayed by the multifunctional dust suppression vehicle are smaller, cover a wider area, use water resources more efficiently, and have a strong adsorption force for dust in the air. The water mist and the dust in the air condense together, which can quickly force the pollutants in the air to fall to the ground, so as to achieve the effect of rapid dust reduction, which has a good effect on preventing and controlling air pollution, purifying the air, and beautifying the environment of the station area.

An objective identifi cation technique for regional extreme events (OITREE) and the daily composite-drought index (CI) at 101 stations in Southwest China (including Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Chongqing) are used to detect regional meteorological drought events between 1960 and 2010. Values of the parameters of the OITREE method are determined. A total of 87 drought events are identifi ed, including 9 extreme events. The 2009-2010 drought is the most serious in Southwest China during the past 50 years. The regional meteorological drought events during 1960-2010 generally last for 10-80 days, with the longest being 231 days. Droughts are more common from November to next April, and less common in the remaining months. Droughts occur more often and with greater intensity in Yunnan and southern Sichuan than in other parts of Southwest China. Strong (extreme and severe) regional meteorological drought events can be divided into fi ve types. The southern type has occurred most frequently, and Yunnan is the area most frequently stricken by extreme and severe drought events. The regional meteorological drought events in Southwest China have increased in both frequency and intensity over the study period, and the main reason appears to be a signifi cant decrease in precipitation over this region, but a simultaneous increase in temperature also contributes.

Stormwatch: Heavy Rain and Wind
National Weather Service issues flash flood warning for Los Angeles region
The National Weather Service (NWS) is predicting heavy rain with potential for flash flooding across much of southwest California today through Saturday morning...
This storm has the potential to drop five inches or more of rain in some areas producing rain rates around one inch per hour at times. The storm will be accompanied by moderate to heavy winds with gusts up to and potentially exceeding 40MPH during peak times.
With periods of intense rainfall, underpasses, roadways and intersections can easily become flooded as drains attempt to keep up with rainfall amounts; drivers are urged to slow down during rain and proceed with caution in areas of pooling water and to never drive through flooded intersections or underpasses.
The Street and Sanitation Division of the Burbank Public Works Department offers sandbags to residents of Burbank. Those in need of sandbags should visit the Field Services Administration Office between the hours of 7:00am and 4:00pm weekdays with proof of residency. Residents can pick up as many as 25 sandbags. Businesses are also eligible to receive up to 25 sandbags.

When it comes to weird weather events, you tend to think of the most extreme happenings occurring far away from us here in Teesside.
But throughout history we’ve actually had our fair share of extreme weather – from floods to snow, and even tornados!
The Great Flood of Yarm – 1771
One of Teesside’s most notable weather events was all the way back in the 1700’s. On the night of the 16th November, 1771, the River Tees burst its banks in a number of places, hitting Yarm the hardest. Some stretches of the High Street were 20 feet underwater at the worst points of the flood.
Christmas Day – 1878
In Gainford, Durham, the coldest ever Christmas Day was recorded. At -18.3℃, this record still stands as the coldest ever Christmas Day in the UK.
“The Big Freeze” – 2010
In November and December 2010, Teesside found itself in the grips of “The Big Freeze”. A record breaking cold snap which wreaked havoc across most of the country. The worst winter in 30 years for Teesside, and the heaviest November snowfall since 1965. Transport came to a standstill and on the 2nd December, around 7,000 schools nationwide were forced to remain closed.
This image shows the minimum temperatures reached in each part of the country during the cold snap. Some regions reached temperatures as low as -20℃.
Floods – 2013
In December of 2013, Teesside saw some devastating flooding. The River Tees burst its banks, and caused 300 homes to be evacuated. One of the area’s sub-stations flooded, causing a power outage in Central Middlesbrough. Furthermore, the highest tide in 150 years was recorded on Teesside by the RNLI.
“Beast from the East” – 2018
In February 2018, Teesside felt the brunt of more wintery weather in the form of “The Beast from the East”. Temperatures plummeted, snow fell and schools closed after the cold snap made its way over from Siberia.
One of the most incredible stories came from no other than the side of the A66, where baby Sienna was born in the backseat of her mum and dad’s car. Sienna’s Dad called for an ambulance when it became clear the bad weather meant they weren’t going to get to the hospital in time. By the time the air ambulance arrived, Sienna had already been born. The family were checked over and taken on to Darlington memorial hospital to be cared for, and warmed up!
Tornados – 2021
Perhaps not the most extreme, but certainly bizarre, was when clouds that looked like tornados appeared over Stockton, Darlington, and County Durham in July. The dark, swirling clouds were in fact funnel clouds. Occurring as a result of low pressure, funnel clouds are essentially tornados which don’t touch the ground.

Hysterical Libs: Man Causing Climate Change... on Moon
That sounds like a joke, but for the Left, it's an all-too-serious discussion already taking place.
Don't expect raging wildfires, more powerful hurricanes, and rising sea levels, but – gasp – a slightly warmer surface temperature than when mankind first visited 50 years ago.
Earthly visitors today can expect a balmy 260 degrees Fahrenheit in sunlight and -280 degrees F when the sun goes down.
Per Business Insider:
Newly discovered temperature data from the 1970s moon landings, released in the Journal of Geophysical Research in April, reveals that NASA astronauts probably warmed up the moon’s surface temperature by as much as 6 degrees Fahrenheit by walking around and poking into the lunar surface.
The data comes from so-called heat-flow experiments that were installed on the moon in 1971 and 1972 during the Apollo 15 and Apollo 17 missions. For the experiments, astronauts on each mission drilled two holes into the surface of the moon at depths ranging from 3.2 feet to 7.5 feet deep. The astronauts inserted fiberglass tubes into the holes and plopped platinum thermometers inside to read the temperatures at varying depths below the moon’s surface. Those probes beamed the temperature data to Earth in near real time.
And there it is. Man-made climate change on the moon.
Maybe we can send Al Gore there.

PAGASA says Basyang winds, rains to prevail in Visayas & Mindanao until tomorrow
Moderate to heavy rains and up to 65 kph winds are likely to prevail over Visayas and Mindanao, particualrly in Cebu, Negros and Panay, and Palawan until tomorrow Thursday, although Storm Basyang has slowed down as it was forecast to make landfall in the Visayas last night, state weather bureau PAGASA said last night.
Meanwhile, Bacolod City Mayor Evelio Leonardia announced the suspension of classes today, Feb. 14, in both public and private pre-schools only. All elementary and secondary school students, on the other hand will resume classes today.
In its 8 p.m. advisory, PAGASA said Basyang was likely to make landfall in the southern tip of Cebu and/or in the southern section of Negros Oriental last night.
The weather bureau had earlier said Basyang may make landfall in Palawan today.
Basyang packs maximum sustained winds of 45 kilometers per hour near the center and gustiness of up to 65 kph. It is forecast to move westward at a speed of 26 kph.
Tropical cyclone warning signal no. 1 remains hoisted over the following areas as of last night:
-Palawan including the Calamian and Cuyo groups of islands, Aklan, Capiz, Antique, Iloilo, Guimaras, Negros Occidental, Negros Oriental, Siquijor, Bohol, Cebu, Biliran, Leyte, Southern Leyte, Camiguin, Misamis Oriental, Misamis Occidental, and northern section of Zamboanga del Norte.
As of 7 last night, the eye of the tropical depression was seen at 45 kilometers east, northeast of Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental.
Basyang is expected to leave the Philippine area of responsibility by tomorrow afternoon.*

India received a total of 85.8 mm of rain between June 1 and June 28 against the lowest ever 85.7 mm in 2009… This is bad news for everyone, particularly farmers dependent on rainfed agriculture…
A special release by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) shows that the June of 2014 is one of the driest Junes since record keeping began in 1901. According to this release, India received a total of 85.8 mm of rain between 1 June and 28 June. This is a departure of 42 per cent from the average rain for this month. An earlier release suggested that the rainfall between 1 June and 27 June in the country was only 80.8 mm.
This is bad news for everyone, particularly farmers dependent on rainfed agriculture. India has received rains below 100 mm only three times before since 1901. In 1905, India received 88.7 mm of rain, in 1926, it received 97.6 mm and in 2009 when India suffered one of its worst droughts, the figure was 85.7 mm.
The final situation for June would be clear only when IMD releases the final rainfall figures for the month. The rains in the last couple of days could increase total rain for the month. At least, IMD has been quite optimistic about this. June, however, accounts for just 17 per cent of the total monsoon rainfall spread (June to September). IMD has predicted that rains in July and August would make up for the deficit. Central India has been the worst affected by rainfall deficit this June. The region recorded rain deficit of -58 per cent between 1 June 1 and 28 June. North-westIndia is the next worst-affected region with -53 per cent rains.


The summer solstice, the first day of summer, is the longest day of the year. There are a few facts about the day that some might not realize. The summer solstice doesn’t always have a specific date. However, it does fall between June 20 and June 22. Most years, it’s right in the middle on June 21. The date and time reflect the moment when the sun is at its highest peak in the year.
Solstice is a Latin term. “Sol” means sun, and “sistere” means to stand still. The sun appears to be standing at a point where it doesn’t move on this day, and doesn’t seem to move from its position in the following days.
One of the largest celebrations of the event was held in Scandinavian countries. They would light bonfires to celebrate the special day. The largest bonfire reached a little over 132 feet.
Some areas feel the heat of summer before the solstice arrives. However, there are areas that don’t see the hot temperatures until a few weeks after. This is because of the way water temperatures work with the air temperature. It often takes a few weeks for the water temperatures to rise, which releases warm air into the atmosphere causing the higher air temperatures. Summer heat waves often arrive in July and August instead of in June.
It is often thought that the Earth is closer to the sun in the summer, which causes warmer temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere. The warmer weather is actually caused by the axis being tilted closer to the sun. The Earth is farther away during the summer and closer to the sun in the winter.

The World Well being Group (WHO) has revealed new information that claims 99 % of the world’s inhabitants at present breathes polluted air that “exceeds WHO air high quality limits, and threatens their well being.”
This statistic comes 4 years after the company confirmed that 90 % of the world’s inhabitants had been affected by polluted air, and the company has blamed tens of millions of deaths world wide every year on the numerous pollution that we take into our our bodies manner too typically.
“The proof base for the hurt brought on by air air pollution has been rising quickly and factors to important hurt brought on by even low ranges of many air pollution,” WHO stated.
Regardless of some appreciable enhancements in total air high quality world wide throughout the lockdown phases of the COVID-19 pandemic, the scenario has returned to being a significant downside that the company says have to be tackled promptly.
“After surviving a pandemic, it’s unacceptable to nonetheless have seven million preventable deaths and numerous preventable misplaced years of fine well being on account of air air pollution,” stated Maria Neira, the top of WHO’s division of public well being and setting.
This new outburst comes amid the company’s latest intensive examine that took into consideration air high quality information from over 6,000 cities and cities throughout 117 nations.
The outcomes confirmed how billions of individuals are actually inhaling unhealthy ranges of effective particulate matter – between 2.5 micrometers (PM2.5) and 10 micrometers (PM10) – that embody poisonous chemical compounds resembling sulfate and black carbon that may penetrate deep into the lungs or cardiovascular system.
In numerous cities, the examine additionally managed to get a learn on the degrees of nitrogen dioxide – which is called a pollutant generally present in city areas that may result in many respiratory sicknesses resembling bronchial asthma and continual lung illness.
Sadly, it was additionally constantly proven that these residing in low and middle-income locales suffered the best exposures all all through.
For instance, it was revealed that the air in solely 17 % of high-income cities studied fell beneath the WHO’s pointers for PM2.5 and PM10, whereas a whopping 99 % of low-income cities within the examine had air high quality that didn’t adjust to the rules.
As for nitrogen dioxide ranges, the examine discovered that from over 4,000 cities throughout 74 nations, solely 23 % of individuals had been capable of breathe in concentrations of the gasoline that complied with the yearly ranges set by the WHO.
In response, the company stated that it was crucial that using fossil fuels be lowered, and that the present peaking costs of oil and gasoline may serve to affect extra individuals to modify to cleaner alternate options.
“Present vitality issues spotlight the significance of rushing up the transition to cleaner, more healthy vitality techniques,” stated WHO Director-Common Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
“Excessive fossil fuels, vitality safety, and the urgency of addressing the dual well being challenges of air air pollution and local weather change underscore the urgent want to maneuver quicker towards a world that’s a lot much less depending on fossil fuels.”

It is only a rough shorthand to say that cold air can hold less than warm air, as elegantly pointed out by Alistair Fraser at his website and by Craig Bohren in his popular book Clouds in a glass of beer(1). Removal of the air (i.e. of the gases other than water vapour) makes no difference to the process of condensation, so the air temperature is irrelevant. What matters is the temperature of the tiny, transient droplets of moisture within the vapour, even within apparently dry air, and the consequent energy of these droplets’ molecules. (Temperature is simply a measure of that energy.) If the water molecules are so energetic that their rate of escape from a droplet exceeds the rate of capture from the atmosphere (which depends on the water-vapour pressure, ie the concentration of water molecules in the space), the droplet will be depleted and vanish before it has formed. In this case, the vapour pressure in the air is less than the equilibrium (or saturation) vapour pressure. However, if the atmospheric concentration of vapour molecules is sufficient for a rate of capture equal to the rate of escape, we say the atmosphere is ‘saturated’, and the droplet persists. Beyond that, the droplets actually grow if the atmospheric water-vapour pressure is even slightly greater, because this leads to a rate of capture more than the rate of escape. The growth of the droplets produces clouds or dewfall.
In brief, the rate of escape of water vapour molecules from an embryonic droplet is less in a cool environment, and so a lower concentration of atmospheric water molecules provides a matching rate of capture. This means that a lower water-vapour pressure provides saturation.

A photograph just released from the Mars Curiosity Rover reveals a strange nearby light that appears artificial. The image was part of a batch just uploaded from the Mars Curiosity Rover that were originally recorded on April 3, 2014 by the Right Navigation Camera. The image with the time stamp of 10:00:34 UTC shows an unusual light on the Martian surface only a mile or so away. The light does not appear to be related to the sun or any natural atmospheric phenomenon such as dust storms that have been known to produce lightning on Mars. The light is too distant to clearly identify but appears to be coming from underground suggesting an artificial light source located beneath the Martian surface.
The Curiosity Rover image was uploaded by NASA on April 3, 2014, and was seen by Youtube user Streetcap who posted a video today revealing the strange Martian light.There is no nearby atmospheric activity such as a dust storm that the image or other images in the same batch from the Curiosity Rover reveal. Dust storms can produce lightning as was observed in imagery taken by the Mars Orbiter Camera in June 2006 that was the first confirmation of lightning on Mars.
Another possible explanation is underground lightning which happens on Earth due to the rotation of molten metal beneath the Earth’s crust which creates rotating electric fields vital for creating a powerful magnetosphere. Mars, however, has no inner crustal dynamo comparable to Earth, and its magnetosphere is a fraction of Earth’s. It is therefore unlikely that underground lightning is a naturally occurring phenomenon on Mars. The light emission in the Curiosity Rover image is not likely a result of underground lightning.
Another explanation may be lensflare which is caused by a light source just outside of the image field being captured on camera. The most common source of lensflare is the setting or rising sun. However the light in the Curiosity Mars Rover does not appear to be a lensfIare caused by the sun given the lack of shadows in the nearby terrain. If the light source was from the Curiosity itself, then that would have been observed in the Mars images.
If both dust storm and underground lightning is ruled out, together with lens flare, then it raises the possibility that the light is an emission from some artificial underground source. Consequently, the light anomaly recorded by the Curiosity Rover may be evidence of an underground base on Mars.
