ka = thousands of years
At Lake JR01 from the Boothia Peninsula, Nunavut, ( Canada ) chironomid-inferred mean July air temperatures were warmest in the mid-Holocene, reaching as high as 7.5° C. Temperatures decreased over the course of the mid- to late-Holocene. Overall terrestrial and aquatic production, as indicated by chironomid, pollen and diatom concentrations and accumulation rates, as well as sediment organic and biogenic content, were higher prior to 5.0 ka than at any other time in the Holocene. The diatom community assemblages during the mid-Holocene also indicate that this was a warm period in the lake’s history. Between 5.0 and 1.0 ka, the lake was cooler and less productive. Inferred temperatures, based on both the chironomid and the pollen records, indicate additional cooling between 0.46 and 0.36 ka that corresponds to the Little Ice Age (LIA).
During the Early and Middle Holocene … focus is on the implications of the four major climate cold anomalies that have recently been identified as key time-windows for global RCC ( Rapid Climate Change ) ( Mayewski et al. 2004). These cooling anomalies are well-dated, with the following precise time-intervals for archaeological RCC research: (i) 8.6–8.0 ka, (ii) 6.0–5.2 ka, (iii) 4.2–4.0 ka and (iv) 3.1–2.9 ka ….

Topic: Model airplane found
Rob sent this – “Saw this model airplane at westcrest dog park. It’s by the shelter and watering station in the middle of the park. Judging from the condition I would guess it crashed in the bushes and someone found it. No name on it anywhere.”

Topic: Lost Backpack
I lost my backpack this morning around High Point. Its a Chrome Bravo 2.0, black with a reflective panel. Heres a link to a picture of it: https://www.rei.com/media/ef4d3386-c459-442d-8e78-8addbdb7457a

Topic: Rossby Responds

What follows regards Francis and Vavrus (2012), hereinafter FV (2012), by atmospheric scientists Jennifer Francis from Rutgers University and Steve Vavrus of the University of Wisconsin. Their paper can be downloaded here:
FV (2012) claims a measured decrease in the zonal or west to east wind component due to “arctic amplification” (AA) would increase jet stream meandering, increase the amplitude or “waviness” of the flow, and increase persistent long wave blocking patterns around the northern hemisphere. This, in turn, would increase severe weather, droughts, floods and temperature extremes. These claims were subsequently picked up by media outlets and offered as further gist for the fodder of catastrophic, CO2 caused, water vapor amplified, global warming.
HOWEVER, as often is the case, current science is NOT the ” settled science “.
“The reader needs to understand that anytime we experience severe weather, it is proof that adequate COLD in the high latitudes and Arctic has been generated by the normal radiational cooling process by the earth that creates the adequate potential energy across the latitude lines to cause amplification of the jet stream waves and speeds that pushes this colder air southward to warmer latitudes that then creates the necessary temperature gradients to liberate that energy, creating storms as well as high pressure systems.”
AND
“If the occurrence of severe weather is increasing worldwide, it is not a sign of a warming earth. It is the opposite of what climate hysteria claims, and an indication of a cooling, not warming earth.”
More about Francis and Vavrus [2012]
Similarly, Francis and Vavrus [2012] suggest that atmospheric Rossby waves have elongated meridionally in recent decades due to Arctic amplification. They hypothesize that these elongated waves propagate more slowly and favor more extreme weather conditions. They speculate that as the earth continues to warm, Arctic amplification will increasingly influence the North Atlantic atmospheric circulation, potentially causing more extreme weather in association with the slower waves.
Motivated by these previous studies linking Arctic amplification to increased slow-moving Atlantic weather patterns, we seek to answer the following three questions: (1) Have wave extents increased over the past 30 years ? (2) Have the phase speeds of large-scale atmospheric waves decreased ? (3) Has the frequency of blocking events increased ?
