Climate Change and Chaos Theory

By Daniel Brouse February 5, 2024 Global warming is caused by an increase in thermal energy. Atmospheric circulation together with ocean circulation is how thermal energy is redistributed throughout the world. Chaos theory offers insights into the complex, nonlinear dynamics of climate systems role in the redistribution of thermal energy. The Earth’s climate is a […]

Climate Change, the Jet Stream, and East Coast Atmospheric Rivers

by Daniel Brouse How is climate change impacting the jet stream and atmospheric rivers on the East Coast of the USA? The interactions between various factors, including ocean currents, sea surface temperatures, and atmospheric circulation, contribute to the overall climate patterns experienced on the East Coast. Climate change can influence the jet stream and atmospheric […]

Atmospheric Rivers and Coastal Erosion

Atmospheric rivers are long, narrow bands of concentrated moisture in the atmosphere that transport large amounts of water vapor. When these atmospheric rivers make landfall, they can bring heavy rainfall over an extended period, leading to increased runoff and potentially contributing to coastal erosion through several mechanisms: Intense Rainfall: Atmospheric rivers can bring intense and […]

Tipping Cascades, Social-Ecological Systems, and the Hottest Year in History

by Daniel Brouse January 9, 2024 Human induced climate change is an exponential component of an unordered system (chaos theory). That means global warming is accelerating at a rapid rate in a complex way. Unfortunately, even scientists are failing to see (let alone forecast) the rapid acceleration in climate change. Due to their complexity, the […]

Violent Rain and the Substrate

Daniel Brouse asked: As the sea levels rise, how far “inland” might we see salinization of fresh water? Is it possible saltwater could infiltrate the Great Lakes? Lake Superior has an elevation of 600 feet above (current) sea level and a depth of 1,332 feet. Lake Ontario is 243 feet above sea level with a […]

Gravity, Sea Level Rise and Surge

by Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjess In general, the coasts that are seeing the largest storm surges are the same areas that are experiencing the fastest rate of sea level rise. The sea level does not rise at the same rate for most coastlines. Some of the conditions that determine the sea level at any […]

Greenland Atmospheric Rivers

by Sidd Mukherjee Historically in the United States, atmospheric rivers (AR) have been associated with the West Coast. Now, AR activity is getting more attention on the East Coast. Atmospheric rivers have been putting serious rainfall melt on Greenland for the last decade, too. Darker snow surfaces absorb more sunlight and melt quicker. This effect […]

West Coast Atmospheric Rivers

by Daniel Brouse As the Earth warms, the air will hold more moisture. More moisture-laden air moves over land and creates atmospheric rivers (Pineapple Express). The Journal EOS in the article Atmospheric Rivers Spur High-Tide Floods on U.S. West Coast said, “Atmospheric rivers are narrow bands of moisture that travel across the lower troposphere, generally […]

Climate Change and the Carbon Feedback Loop

by Daniel Brouse The atmosphere is acting like a blanket… and the earth (land and sea) is acting like a battery. 91% of the energy (as heat) is trapped/stored in the oceans. Feedback Loops Example The Albedo feedback loop between the earth and the CO2 in the atmosphere accelerates global warming at an exponential rate. […]
