joelgombiner Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 I can't find a good explanation of why a zone of high pressure is called a ridge. Is the ridge/trough terminology referring to the lat-long (X-Y) structure of winds and isobars, or is it referring to something about the three-dimensional structure of the atmosphere? Under a zone of high pressure, there is more mass in the atmospheric column, so I could sort of see how that is a "ridge" or a "dome" of atmospheric mass. Anyone know of a good explanation of this terminology? Quote Useful weather links Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelgombiner Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Translated: Dynamic extratropical forcing on the tropics can be just as important as tropical forcing on the extratropics. It’s a dynamic relationship that runs both ways. The northern annular mode/PV and QBO/RWB cycles affect tropical static stability/convection quite significantly, as does solar forcing if given enough time (both thru thermal-radiative conduits and photochemical conduits in the case of the solar wind/geomagnetic activity). Interesting. I see how thermal-radiative forcing can affect tropical convection, but what are the photochemical influences on tropical convection?

Anyone know of a good explanation of this terminology?A ridge really isn’t a ridge. It’s just an anti-cyclone which diverts cyclonic waves north or south. The ridge term just comes from the fact high pressure at the upper levels typically sends the jet north while low pressure sends it south. 1 Quote My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad.

ShawniganLake Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 I relocated my temp/humidity sensor from a okayish location (partially shaded area 15 feet from the NE side of our house) to a much better location (shaded area in a spot 50ft lower in elevation away from all buildings) and the result was an ~ 2 degree drop in daytime temps and a whopping 4 degree drop in nighttime temps. I think people underestimate how easy it is for both radiational and anthropogenic contamination to screw with temperature readings. During the day it’s often the former with a little bit of the latter, at night it’s the latter.Isn’t the point of the radiation shields to allow you to site your sensor in the sun. Haven’t stevenson screens been placed in sunny locations for decades. I bet if I moved my sensor to a hole in the deep shaded forest behind my house I would get different readings than I do now.

Anyone know of a good explanation of this terminology?The terms “ridge” and “trough” are wavetrain-streamflow references, like the peak and trough of an ocean swell. To simplify it, the middle latitude westerly jets bend poleward around areas of high pressure, and equatorward through areas of lower pressure. That “waviness” in the streamflow is where the terms “ridge” and “trough” are derived from.

Looks like the all-time record up here is 80 from 1966...Interestingly a lot of our record highs in late March and April are from years where there were notable cold/snow events in February and early March (1985, 1951, 1956, etc...).

Phil Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Interesting. I see how thermal-radiative forcing can affect tropical convection, but what are the photochemical influences on tropical convection?The modulation of the distribution of ozone (O3), nitrous oxide (N2O) by the QBO, solar, and volcanic forcings affects the tropical convection/H2O feedback by altering the thermal/hydrostatic profile of the tropical upper troposphere and lower stratosphere, and by modulating the boundary conditions governing aspects of the boreal winter stratospheric polar vortex, which can dynamically influence the structure of tropical convection on a higher frequency basis, sometimes producing massive MJOs/WWBs (which happened this winter). These gases are not well-mixed spatially near/above the tropopause, so their effects on climate dynamics are dynamically distinct from those of more well mixed gases. 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t stevenson screens been placed in sunny locations for decades. I bet if I moved my sensor to a hole in the deep shaded forest behind my house I would get different readings than I do now.Radiation shields aren’t perfect, but even more than that it’s the much larger sensible heat flux from surfaces in full sunlight which can be problematic if the station is poorly sited or insufficiently ventilated.

Front Ranger Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 OMG this is insane. Just a few wild numbers and stats. 1. I had 44 consecutive lows of 35 or below with the streak broken today with an insane low of 59. According to Landsburg records there has never been a low anywhere near that high this early before. 2. OLM had a 50 degree temperature spread today! 3. SEA has crushed any previous record highs for this early in the season, but the city had the amazing 81 on March 11, 1892. This past 6 weeks has been totally continental with only limited marine influence. The magnitude of this warm blast leaves me feeling pretty confident we will see a major crash coming up. I'm guessing somewhere around April 1 for another round of much below normal temps. Another very interesting note is that Landsburg soared to 82 on this date in 1928. Really good company! At any rate we are seeing history being made this year on both ends of the spectrum. Seems pretty unlikely that holds this evening. Quote A forum for the end of the world.
