probably discontinued


Sorry about that. Nullschool's WPD overlay went blank some days ago. If it comes back, the animation series can resume. I can't find an adequate substitute, so this might be it, for awhile.

I'm very grateful for the opportunity to share some visual inquiries here. Thanks, everyone!

For my part, I'm satisfied with waiting to see if WPD is dropped from the interface. Right now it's indistinguishable from the None overlay on my machine, and has been for at least a week. Whatever's going on over there, my inquiry would likely be more bothersome than helpful. (Plus: I don't have a contact there -- after all, I haven't paid them anything.) If there's any information available about this outage, I'd certainly be interested.

I've now welcomed the New Year in California, but 2020 has yet to show up on Nullschool's date menu. This gives me hope: maybe everyone's on break out there, and they'll restore WPD when they get back. (I can dream, can't I?)

2020 is there but invisible. After opening Nullschol and choosing date,just ignore the year row and choose the days in January you want. It worked for me. (I checked by selecting 8th Jan, i.e. more than 5 days forward, and it responded - no data.)

I guess they, like me, are having some problems with the year change.

In this experiment, I want to observe sea-level pressure superimposed on wind at the 250hPa geopotential height (in which I take the bright red bands as an approximation to jet-stream winds) -- to watch the temporal relation. I like the Winkel projection for not losing roundness while showing the whole planetary surface, but it's not as good a view for things specifically Arctic.

The color-scheme of wind remains as captured from Nullschool. MSLP (mean sea-level pressure) was flattened into a grayscale image, so that wind colors stay legible, while low-pressure areas look like shadows. This is my first crack at a quarterly product, which I don't plan to share anywhere else besides this Nullschool Animations thread.

I was surprised to see the dipole break up this quickly. Previous forecasts had it last longer. Or wasn't this the big one yet? Time will tell... But a lot of the ice will still go down the drain this week!  >:( 

Thanks for the support and the kind words!  :D

It looks like a large amount of ice will be exported out of the arctic in the coming week. Luckily that giant storm at the end will smash itself to dead quickly against Greenland.

This is what the temperature at the pole looks like on day 5 from now...  ???

I'm going to make another forecast today, and I'm curious to see which one is preferred here. I always like the temp @ surface one, and the wind, but I've added this poll now to see what others like.

You can change your 3 votes at anytime to bring another preference to the top.

   For the Kara Sea, in addition to warm surface temperatures in the current GFS forecast (which are easier to see in Climate Renanalyzer), it seems like the winds (which are easier to see in Nullschool) will also contribute to ice losses over the next 5 days.

Hi Glen. I don't think the wind in the Kara will be a very big problem. They seem to pass very quickly, so the impact should be minimal.

Edit: Temperatures in the Kara will be a problem of course. Combined with the wind, the Kara will suffer.

What I'll be watching for is if the ice pack will spread out again with that low centered over the CAB. The High from last week compacted the ice, and I don't think it all froze together much yet. That could mean that extent will increase again over the coming days.

It's interesting to see the ESS fill up again as I predicted. Of course that means more open water in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas.

Edit 2: Will that high on top of the Beaufort start up the Beaufort gyre? Or is that too early still?

      FG  and others - when you comment on a benign or threatening forecast, please specify what it is you are referring to.  Otherwise, I may not be able to see what you are seeing, and I suspect neither do a lot of other people.  Sorry to nag, but this has happened a lot lately by various posters - noting something extreme or of supposed importance without specifying what it is.

Same boat here. I get some of it, but other times I don't know what the heck a poster is on about.

It's like having a nice conversation with someone then out of nowhere they throw in a few sentences using an alien language, then revert back like no big deal.  ??? ???

Hey Freegrass  - thanks for your excellent animations. This has probably been discussed before, but is there anyway you can include the surface temps with the winds? Seems more important now for late spring and summer. 🌞

Hi Ice. Thank you for the kind words! I usually post the Wind + Temp @ Surface videos on the melting thread, because as you said, they are the most valuable right now.

You can find the latest one from Monday here.

It's probably a good idea that I will link to them here in the future. Thanks for bringing that to my attention!

The problem is that I'm starting to understand the impact of the weather on the ice, but I don't have the skills to explain it all in a proper scientific way. My brain works completely different... I can see it and understand it, but I can't explain it...

I'm always hoping I can find someone who could...

       FG - I'm not asking for a seminar, or an explanation of the reasoning for your alarm, just the name of the thing that grabbed your attention.  Is it the wind?  The temperature?  Particular locations? Precipitable water?  Is it a strong low-pressure system near the Bering Strait?  Or high pressure dominating the CAB?

       Since the image clips don't show the scale legend to allow interpreting what the colors mean, and since most of us won't bother to go over to NullSchool to find the legend bar, the colors in the images are intriguing but not quantitatively informative.  If you are referring to temperature in a certain region, use your text message to tell us how high they are such that they grabbed your eye.

       If you just say "Oh My God!" with no text to identify what it is you are referring too, and post an image without a legend, it may not be clear to us what has your attention or what the image is representing. 

       Yes, we can watch the clip and get some sense of it, especially if we are used to NullSchool images.  So it's not that the images are useless without some explanation and a legend.  But if you are going to the trouble to make a clip, why not gift wrap it just a little bit to make it more meaningful? 

       When this is all in the history books, and your great grandchildren are looking back at what their 'Oompah' did during the great meltdown of 202?, make them proud.  Until then, thanks for your efforts.  I enjoy the freshness of your wonder and curiosity, and have learned from your queries.  Like you, I am a non-expert tuning into this drama, and just trying to figure out what's going on.  Even though it is a horror show when you consider the larger implications, it is a fascinating process to watch.

That storm is sucking in a lot of cold air that is making it weaker. But it seems like that cold air is being cut off a little in the latest forecast. If that cold air gets cut off more, that storm could get a lot bigger and stronger very quickly. So it'll be interesting the follow how this develops over the next few days.

I find it interesting to keep following the forecast of this storm more closely for a while. It looks like it's getting more cold air now, just 6 hours later. These subtle changes make a big difference in the forecast of this storm.

Next in the series. That pulse of cold air has now disorganized that storm and blown past it. I'm sure some of you will be more qualified to interpret all this, so I hope you like this little experiment.

This shit just went bad... It's the first time this cold air gets exposed to real world temperatures on land, and it doesn't seem to look as cold anymore now. Is this prove of my theory, that the models are underestimating the weather the impact of the sun due to particle reduction? And does this mean that this storm could even get stronger as that cold air heats up even more?

Or am I seeing it all wrong? I know I lack the knowledge to understand all this. So help me out here guys!

The storm is actually getting stronger because it's getting hot moist air from along the CAA coast. This air came all the way from Siberia, and spun around the storm.

Edit 1:It's getting a push from that cold air on the siberian side, and then feeds on the hot air from the CAA side.

Edit 2: And it looks like it'll find some more food on the pacific side soon. That could make this a monster...

I don't know about you guys, and maybe it's my ignorance, but I find this fascinating.

Oh my... The trend seems to be towards a stronger storm. Winds above 50 km/h are now in the forecast. That'll do some damage...

I assume the extensive moisture also means clouds, which could come in handy at this time of year, especially if the storm lingers.
BTW could you also post a wind+temps forecast?

That's right Oren, the sun will be blocked by this storm. And as you can see on the temp forecast, the temperatures on the ice will be going down. Now we just wait to see how much physical damage this storm will do to the ice. 50 km/h winds usually will do that, but it looks like the wind won't be to persistent over the same area.

A little change again in the forecast that could have big consequences. The wind speed has gone down just a little below 50 km/h, but at the end of the forecast this storm seems to find some more food again on the Alaskan side. Curious to see how this develops in the next few forecasts.
