Explorations into weather and climate

The html with javascript that animates the PNG images can easily be produced with my python janim.py, available from activestate.

Of general interest:

Some weather data studies

• a frontend to National Radar Mosaic June 29 Derecho as example
• National Radar Mosaic, 28 February - 3 March 2012
• accessories for my javascript tutorial
• May 24, 2011 KTLX animation, with source code
• Analysis of Bering Sea Bomb on 8-11 November 2011
• Hovmoller diagrams on the dynamic tropopause, May 2011 -April 2012

Some climate data studies

• maps of US Rainfall in the 12 months, averaged from 1948-2010. Or see same with my HAniS experiment.
• JJA summer rainfall anomalies in US,1948-2010, with 500 mb anomaly
• JJA summer rainfall anomalies in US,1948-2010, with 850 mb anomaly
• annual precipitation anomalies in US,1948-2010
• JJA SST anomalies,1948-2011, PNG from ESRL
• JJA 500 mb anomalies,1948-2011, PNG from ESRL
• JJA 850 mb anomalies,1948-2011, PNG from ESRL
• Percent of Western US in Drought, year 800 thru 2003
• 2014 Monthly temperatures from CRUTEM 4.4 station files

• Modtran balance at 70 km
• Modtran balance at 20 km

Some demonstrations of fluid mechanics using numerical (python, numpy) simulations

• some axisymmetric simulations of a buoyant blob
• baroclinic instabilty
• an unstable ring of vorticity
• a 2-D buoyant blob
• other numerical simulations are linked on my main page

Of interest to specific people:

• Forecast errors superimposed on a Hovmoller diagram
