#physics #weather **Explanation of terms that I make up** There are no common terms in a world run by influencers without physics, so I am guilty of making terms up. I don't know who else would do that...
**Cold air blob** Since 2016, the equatorial ocean belts have lost their ability to be the heat engines of the world. This has resulted in world temperatures plunging, as we go to a new ice age. However, we've got a while to go with many new phenomena. The 'cold air blob' or 'air glacier' appeared a few years ago on the MIMIC plots. This was the first 'Texas Freeze'. It is defined by a huge lobate front of clear, cold air. It descends like a glacier.
**Arctic Spill** The Arctic is a full object in physics terms. It has mass, density, and an ability to smash things. The Jet stream doesn't have any of that. This just started last year. I envision the Arctic air as being a full headpond, held in by surrounding elevation. The spills are narrow, intense outpourings of cold air, visible on the global wind charts. This year, 'Texas Freeze 2' was a spill. When all spillways are opened, the Arctic air drains in a week, and Europe has warm air again. But the headpond keeps filling.
**Intense Zones** I just made this up. Without ocean breezes (plumes) we have 'northern desert weather'. That means zones being solar furnaces. These stories keep everything going.
**Ocean plumes** Violent convection throughout the whole atmosphere stops any concept of 'greenhousing'. It ain't a greenhouse without glass. These plumes cast off from the equatorial belts and give us all our rain and heat.
