Getting Knotted: Climate Change and the Jet Stream

By News Desk

Tweet Eli has been amongst those concerned with links between Arctic heating, jet stream perturbations and weird weather.  Eli, of course, is neither a meteorologist nor a climate scientist, he is but a bunny, but a literate one (unusual, we know) and has been following work in this area, led by Jennifer Francis at Rutgers .  Just yesterday the Rabett ran into three things that tied all this together.  First Paul Douglas shows Eli a weather forecast map from NOAA, where nature has turned it up to bake in the north central US.  Unusual for this time of year, but especially so because it was freezing cold for the summer just weeks ago  Next a map of the jet stream from Intellicast And finally an editorial in Nature Climate Change which ties the package together The day-to-day weather and longer-term climate are different phenomena, although there are strong links between them.
