What this says is that warming in the stratosphere disrupted the normal upper-level circulation in the Arctic, dumping a lot of cold air further south than it would normally be. It's a classic case of the tail wagging the dog, since the amount of air in the stratosphere is only about <A HREF="http://okfirst.mesonet.org/train/meteorology/VertStructure2.html" REL="nofollow">20%</A> of that in the troposphere, where most weather occurs.<BR/><BR/>The whole point, of course, is that this is <B>weather</B>, not <B>climate</B>, although that doesn't stop denialists like the IceCrappers (linked in the post) from pimping such events as contradicting global warming.Steve Scolnikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11887989345192863494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4383109810185861842.post-2962747414210502362009-02-07T23:03:00.000-05:002009-02-07T23:03:00.000-05:00Steve, I just saw this from NASA.
