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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

The Snowfall Feedback Loop
by Daniel Brouse November 26, 2023 Global warming is causing warmer and shorter winters. Not only are White Christmases less frequent, so are icebergs, sea ice, and glaciers. An analysis and maps from NOAA found snowfall is declining globally as temperatures warm due to anthropological climate change. As the atmosphere’s heat and humidity increase, precipitation […]

The Age of Loss and Damage
by Daniel Brouse “For people, for other species, for the ecosystems, for the world we live in, we’ve entered the Age of Loss and Damage, but we’re just at the start. What we are seeing already just makes you want to cry,” said Dr. Christopher Trisos (BBC Interview / MP3 Format) from the University of […]

Deadly Humid Heat in the USA
Deadly humid heat affects billions including the US Midwest this century. “It’s very disturbing,” study co-author Matthew Huber of Purdue University. “It’s going to send a lot of people to emergency medical care.” The study Greatly enhanced risk to humans as a consequence of empirically determined lower moist heat stress tolerance was conducted by Purdue […]

Tipped Tipping Points, Feedback Loops, and the Domino Effect
By Daniel Brouse and Sidd Mukherjee September 29, 2023 A look at three (3) of the multiple tipping points we appear to have breached and The Domino Effect: Mountain Glacier Loss Collapse of AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) Amazon Rainforest Dieback Crossing one tipping point would be alarming. For instance, crossing the tipping point for […]

Collapse of the Amazon
September 28. 2023 1) much of July was spent at record temperatures +3C 2) the collapse of the Amazon rainforest is likely to happen at +2-4C. The collapse of the Amazon is expected to occur because of changing weather patterns and circulation that result in drought. 3) Today Brazil set up a task force for […]
