Based on the research carried out, the interpretation of the current atmospheric dynamics seem to support the conclusions offered since 2013: the added amount of Energy combining sources outside the Planet and sources inside the planet by manmade causes, is overwhelming the capacity of the biological system to fix such load of energy in innert form (also caused by manmade activities).

Instead of having such increase in Energy in free state being dissipated into space, an increase in non condensible GHGs has absorbed enough Energy to increase the atmospheric capacity to hold water vapour in suspension. The condensible nature of water vapour allows it to capture, transport and transfer Energy from being in free state in one location, travelling fixed in molecular structures and being released in a different location as what we call “#weather”.

Simultaneously, an increase in the Energy load of the atmosphere captured by GHGs and Water Vapour, triggers intrusions of midlatitudinal warm humid air into the poles, displacing cold dry masses of air from the poles into Mid Latitudes.

An increase in Energy load supplies the fuel behind the work force augmenting mixing patterns between low dense warm air with high dense cold polar air. Such increase in mixing dynamics between two fluids of different densities generates what are called Rayleigh -Taylor instabilities, with the characteristic shape of a mushroom, easily identified by the bands of clouds created when cold air gets in contact with warm humid air.

Ultimately, my research points out that differently from mainstream discussion in #climatechange dynamics, instead of having a global and homogeneous process of warming or cooling (ice age), we are living a process of global mixing, defined by sudden and extreme changes in weather conditions, from very cold to very warm, from very dry to downpours, lightning, strong winds,…

Such unstable extremes have been expected to grow in frequency and strength across seasons affecting the overall #Climate.

Rayleigh–Taylor instabilities in Atmospheric Circulation. Follow-Up on Atmospheric Dynamics and Climatic Implications (By Diego Fdez-Sevilla PhD)

In my research on Climate (since 2013) I have pointed out the development of a new pattern in atmospheric dynamics behind the weather events observed.

In order to contrast the validity of my work against current situation I share my analysis from the same 4th September as today which I published in 2020.

Sept 2020 Seasonal Alterations and Climate Change. Autumn 2020 D. Fdez-Sevilla PhD

Seasons are described in two ways, by the change in the angle of incidence from the Sun and by the weather conditions associated with this part of the calendar. Since the angle of incidence is similar throughout latitudes, it is expected to have similar weather developments for the same latitudes, and even more similar if in close proximity.

My research on #climate suggest that weather events normally associated with seasonal angle of Sun incidence across latitudes is starting to be less dependent on Solar incidence originating contrasts within the same latitude and proximity due to an increase in atmospheric energy load fuelling convection as a dominant force.

Such change in the thermodynamic balance originates accentuated contrast in weather conditions, not only between locations, but also, for the same Solar angle of incidence, throughout short periods of time.

Accordingly we find two parts of the same territory and latitude suffering weather conditions associated with different seasons. While one side is in summer the other is in autumn, within the same week.

A big concern comes from considering that it can trigger similar changes between longitudes, bringing anomalously warm weather to high latitudes (Arctic) whilst anomalous cold weather into low latitudes.

This pattern has been observed before and it is only getting stronger with the years.

All patterns show a display of energetic motions from Eq latitudes across latitudes and altitude following poleward directionality as seen by the tracks of cyclones moving even towards colder SST or over land, along with heat waves enabling precipitation to reach the poles and displacing cold masses of air into lower latitudes as the one reaching Spain at the end of August 2020.

A process of global mixing accelerating weather developments across seasons by a month or more, evolving with the years. All those dynamics and implications are presented in my research.

This is clearly seen when comparing current dynamics with previous analyses.”

2013-2022 Research Wrap-up

Masses of warm air are moving further from the equator, in the direction of the poles, without cooling down. That masses of air carrying such high temperatures, trigger increases in temperature wherever they move, bringing what we call heat waves. The question of why can be answered in a very simple way: warm masses of air are moving from the equator because warm air expands, but moreover, at the poles there should be a dense cold mass of air that should hold in position against the warm air pushing in. And that is what it has changed. The constant and increasing pressure of warm air pushing against the cold dome of polar air has raised enough to break apart in pieces this dome of cold air.

In Solar Winter, the polar conditions should build a compacted dome of dense cold air. However, in recent years, warm advection promotes warm anomalies inside the poles, destabilising the formation of such compact dome, displacing cold masses of air triggering a wobbly jet stream, warm Arctic, heat waves going poleward, cold snaps moving towards the tropics, downpours, hail, lightning and even the behaviour of hurricanes.

In all, there is a name in physics that describes the motion in the atmosphere behind those anomalous discharges of energy, that is Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities created by the increasing mixture of meridional warm humid air with polar cold dry air.

Is this new? Yes, in two ways: Though the planet might have seen it before, the cause for this mechanism to become active in our timeline is linked with several triggers manmade raising the energy load of the meridional atmospheric circulation invading the poles. Also, my research brings a new way of looking and describing the atmospheric dynamics behind current, past and future weather and climate states.

Since 2002 I have performed research on atmospheric variables linked with biological cycles and since 2013 in the line of research presented at diegofdezsevilla.wordpress .com
