Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Hominid 0 #30090 January 25, 2012 Maybe discussion of weather around Vancouver on hijack night will be facilitated by understanding of the overall weather situation in the region at the time--what some in weather call the "regime." I'm not a meteorogist, so some of it may not be precisely correct, but here's how I understand that regime to be. The weather on hijack day was being produced by a lot of warm water in the ocean to the west. The warm water arrived there from the western Pacific tropics via the "Japan current." The warm water off the coast of southernmost Alaska, having a lot of cold land and air around it to the northwest, north and northeast, warmed the air over the ocean and also humidified it. That reduced the density of the air and caused it to rise. Result: a VERY STRONG atmospheric low (<988mBar) out NW of the U.S. NW. Around that strong low (L) the air rotated counter-clockwise (CCW). Up in Alaska, warm humid air coming in from the southwest cooled and dumped precipitation "big time." Down at the coast of Washington at 4am on the 24th, that low produced air flow more from the west, especially at higher altitudes where the flow was blocked from continuing to circulate around the super L. It headed NE to the Canadian border over the middle of Montana, where it turned and headed SE. By 4am the next day, the flow was even more directly eastward. The temperature was considerably higher at the coast than it was at Portland, because of that warm air coming in from the ocean. And the land and air were considerably colder out to the east. The warm air coming in from the ocean was saturated with water. It started to be cooled immediately as it approached the coast and came ashore. The cooling started squeezing water out of the air as it neared the coast. The further east the air moved, the more it was cooled. But not dramatically, because the temperature gradient was small all the way to the Great Lakes. The air also rose a little with every mile traveled to the east, because the surface rose, also cooling the air near the surface. The sun going down helped to cool the air too. The north-pacific low was pumping warm, humid air irresistibly to the east. All along the way, the gradual cooling produced clouds and light precipitation while the incoming warm air caused the temperature in each locale to rise a bit in comparison to what it was before the warm-air pump was turned on. The Portland temperature went up for hijack day, then went back down on the 25th. At 4am on hijack day, the warm air got to Idaho. It was not as warm as it had been when it came ashore, but it was warmer than the air it bumped against. It occluded (caught up with and overwhelmed) a mild cold front there. It pushed up over the cold air. This cooled the incoming warm, humid air further, causing it to produce more precipitation across the base of the Idaho stovepipe and northwestern Montana (the shading there on the 4am surface chart for the 24th). An important aspect of this weather regime as it relates to Washington and Oregon is that the "weather" resulted from warm air. A warm front. One result of this was that the weather was not violent or extreme. Little instability. Little turbulence. Little lightning. Few thunderstorms. Just very gradual squeezing precipitation out of the air over a long distance and time period as the warm air was pushed up over the existing cooler air (a stable condition). The regime persisted a while into the 25th. The reason for this is that the strong low out to the northwest was still in the same place at 4am on the 25th, and the minor low at the Canada-Montana border was still there. But the strong low was weaker than the day before. The effect of this was that the isobars on the surface chart ran pretty much the same way across the western half of Washington and Oregon as they did at 4am on hijack day, just a bit more like due east-west. The isobar spacing was close to the same, so surface winds were similar in magnitude over most of that area. The high altitude winds were flowing a bit more toward due east. Direction of surface winds could be considerably impacted by the existence of an isobar "thumb" like the 1016 isobar where it passed through Pendleton, OR at 4am on the 24th. The abrupt change of isobar direction means that winds in places near that abrupt change could change direction abruptly as such an isobar feature passed nearby. The super low out to the NW was still pumping warm, humid air eastward into a relatively cooler environment. It was pumping heat and moisture out of the ocean off the coast and, in doing so, it was reducing the ocean water temperature that was creating the super low.

Main character 'Anna Johnson' was based on real-life Canadian Chief Astronaut Julie Payette, whom I think is the toughest woman on Earth. Okay, Canada anyway. Has Payette ever jumped? Regardless, I'd put my bets on Amazon if it came down to a battle. Hey, slightly off topic but the US Supreme Court just ruled against warrantless GPS trackers. Obama and Holder lost. Yaaaay! McCoy's chutes had beacon transmitters covertly installed by Perry Stevens, a master rigger and skydiver who incidently taught me how to jump. They were pre GPS but served a similar purpose. They would probably have been held to be legal despite the lack of a search warrant due to the "hot pursuit" exception. I too have tried contacting Sluggo to no avail.

Been checking lately, and I think he's still with the living, but for some reason he hasn't been around. He has a Yahoo site, a regular website, and a blog. No new entries by him in a while. We've had our differences in the past, but I respect what he has done for the Cooper case. He still has the best site about it and tries to keep out the non-facts. (*salute*) Guess you were just *misunderstood*. Guess you are *born again*. Oh! and thanks for all the good updated info on Sluggo, his website, NASA, ESA, the founding of Western Civilisation, and all the rest, not to forget, whatever comes next... Sluggo owes you! There is never a dull hypocracy with you around. You make the rest of us look like damned fools!

Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Hominid 0 #30098 January 25, 2012 My understanding of the occluded front was wrong. This particular occluded front was what is called a warm occluded front. Cool air having caught up with where warmer (less cool) air is already pushing up against even colder air, pushes under the warm air, but over the colder air to the east. Net effect is that the two warmer (least cold) of the three air masses are pushed up over the coldest air to the east. This cools the warmer air masses and causes precipitation. QuoteAt 4am on hijack day, the warm air got to Idaho. ... It occluded (caught up with and overwhelmed) a mild cold front there. It pushed up over the cold air.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Hominid 0 #30090 January 25, 2012 Maybe discussion of weather around Vancouver on hijack night will be facilitated by understanding of the overall weather situation in the region at the time--what some in weather call the "regime." I'm not a meteorogist, so some of it may not be precisely correct, but here's how I understand that regime to be. The weather on hijack day was being produced by a lot of warm water in the ocean to the west. The warm water arrived there from the western Pacific tropics via the "Japan current." The warm water off the coast of southernmost Alaska, having a lot of cold land and air around it to the northwest, north and northeast, warmed the air over the ocean and also humidified it. That reduced the density of the air and caused it to rise. Result: a VERY STRONG atmospheric low (<988mBar) out NW of the U.S. NW. Around that strong low (L) the air rotated counter-clockwise (CCW). Up in Alaska, warm humid air coming in from the southwest cooled and dumped precipitation "big time." Down at the coast of Washington at 4am on the 24th, that low produced air flow more from the west, especially at higher altitudes where the flow was blocked from continuing to circulate around the super L. It headed NE to the Canadian border over the middle of Montana, where it turned and headed SE. By 4am the next day, the flow was even more directly eastward. The temperature was considerably higher at the coast than it was at Portland, because of that warm air coming in from the ocean. And the land and air were considerably colder out to the east. The warm air coming in from the ocean was saturated with water. It started to be cooled immediately as it approached the coast and came ashore. The cooling started squeezing water out of the air as it neared the coast. The further east the air moved, the more it was cooled. But not dramatically, because the temperature gradient was small all the way to the Great Lakes. The air also rose a little with every mile traveled to the east, because the surface rose, also cooling the air near the surface. The sun going down helped to cool the air too. The north-pacific low was pumping warm, humid air irresistibly to the east. All along the way, the gradual cooling produced clouds and light precipitation while the incoming warm air caused the temperature in each locale to rise a bit in comparison to what it was before the warm-air pump was turned on. The Portland temperature went up for hijack day, then went back down on the 25th. At 4am on hijack day, the warm air got to Idaho. It was not as warm as it had been when it came ashore, but it was warmer than the air it bumped against. It occluded (caught up with and overwhelmed) a mild cold front there. It pushed up over the cold air. This cooled the incoming warm, humid air further, causing it to produce more precipitation across the base of the Idaho stovepipe and northwestern Montana (the shading there on the 4am surface chart for the 24th). An important aspect of this weather regime as it relates to Washington and Oregon is that the "weather" resulted from warm air. A warm front. One result of this was that the weather was not violent or extreme. Little instability. Little turbulence. Little lightning. Few thunderstorms. Just very gradual squeezing precipitation out of the air over a long distance and time period as the warm air was pushed up over the existing cooler air (a stable condition). The regime persisted a while into the 25th. The reason for this is that the strong low out to the northwest was still in the same place at 4am on the 25th, and the minor low at the Canada-Montana border was still there. But the strong low was weaker than the day before. The effect of this was that the isobars on the surface chart ran pretty much the same way across the western half of Washington and Oregon as they did at 4am on hijack day, just a bit more like due east-west. The isobar spacing was close to the same, so surface winds were similar in magnitude over most of that area. The high altitude winds were flowing a bit more toward due east. Direction of surface winds could be considerably impacted by the existence of an isobar "thumb" like the 1016 isobar where it passed through Pendleton, OR at 4am on the 24th. The abrupt change of isobar direction means that winds in places near that abrupt change could change direction abruptly as such an isobar feature passed nearby. The super low out to the NW was still pumping warm, humid air eastward into a relatively cooler environment. It was pumping heat and moisture out of the ocean off the coast and, in doing so, it was reducing the ocean water temperature that was creating the super low.

Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Hominid 0 #30098 January 25, 2012 My understanding of the occluded front was wrong. This particular occluded front was what is called a warm occluded front. Cool air having caught up with where warmer (less cool) air is already pushing up against even colder air, pushes under the warm air, but over the colder air to the east. Net effect is that the two warmer (least cold) of the three air masses are pushed up over the coldest air to the east. This cools the warmer air masses and causes precipitation.

Gee, that was my wish. I thought that if you could swallow the KC fable you might have some fun with a REAL biography that could actually be proven with honest FACTS! You know, do something constructive other than beat that poor dead nag for the Crew. This sounds like an admission that your story is fake, or most of it. The part about ding LSD and prison is probably true. The part that the records of the Program are all destroyed is however, not true. FOIA will allow you to see your not listed in them. Matt Ar yous a washing machine salesman & repair guy too, liek B'noss. ? Why is this load taking so long to finish? Should we send Tom Kaye in to help? Or Field Marshall-Admiral-Captain-Amerika, Blevins? You're making as much sense as BK now. Matt which BK? The new toppers? Or the old char broiled Whopper? Its all been down-sized and prices raised, of course. The BK Big Fish is now micro- sized and the price raised. Arby's currently has two fer five. Better go there... then go to your next refrigerator repair. Did you bring your ohm meter, rubber boots, and yumpper cables, eh? Call Knoss for correct settings on dat thermonstat - he's got the manuals in his shop. U-bettcha! Oh! BTW! Git that frig going quick! Call Knoss for his 30 years plus experience in this field. Then you can crawl inside the frig and wait the massive solar storm headed our way, out. MAC says its the worst in six plus years. Blevins and Gayla can clean up the mess. For a 12% surcharge and three BK mini-mac coupons. U-bettcha.ps(fine print) coded in this message is a message. I'll bet you cant figure it out!

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Hominid 0 #30090 January 25, 2012 Maybe discussion of weather around Vancouver on hijack night will be facilitated by understanding of the overall weather situation in the region at the time--what some in weather call the "regime." I'm not a meteorogist, so some of it may not be precisely correct, but here's how I understand that regime to be. The weather on hijack day was being produced by a lot of warm water in the ocean to the west. The warm water arrived there from the western Pacific tropics via the "Japan current." The warm water off the coast of southernmost Alaska, having a lot of cold land and air around it to the northwest, north and northeast, warmed the air over the ocean and also humidified it. That reduced the density of the air and caused it to rise. Result: a VERY STRONG atmospheric low (<988mBar) out NW of the U.S. NW. Around that strong low (L) the air rotated counter-clockwise (CCW). Up in Alaska, warm humid air coming in from the southwest cooled and dumped precipitation "big time." Down at the coast of Washington at 4am on the 24th, that low produced air flow more from the west, especially at higher altitudes where the flow was blocked from continuing to circulate around the super L. It headed NE to the Canadian border over the middle of Montana, where it turned and headed SE. By 4am the next day, the flow was even more directly eastward. The temperature was considerably higher at the coast than it was at Portland, because of that warm air coming in from the ocean. And the land and air were considerably colder out to the east. The warm air coming in from the ocean was saturated with water. It started to be cooled immediately as it approached the coast and came ashore. The cooling started squeezing water out of the air as it neared the coast. The further east the air moved, the more it was cooled. But not dramatically, because the temperature gradient was small all the way to the Great Lakes. The air also rose a little with every mile traveled to the east, because the surface rose, also cooling the air near the surface. The sun going down helped to cool the air too. The north-pacific low was pumping warm, humid air irresistibly to the east. All along the way, the gradual cooling produced clouds and light precipitation while the incoming warm air caused the temperature in each locale to rise a bit in comparison to what it was before the warm-air pump was turned on. The Portland temperature went up for hijack day, then went back down on the 25th. At 4am on hijack day, the warm air got to Idaho. It was not as warm as it had been when it came ashore, but it was warmer than the air it bumped against. It occluded (caught up with and overwhelmed) a mild cold front there. It pushed up over the cold air. This cooled the incoming warm, humid air further, causing it to produce more precipitation across the base of the Idaho stovepipe and northwestern Montana (the shading there on the 4am surface chart for the 24th). An important aspect of this weather regime as it relates to Washington and Oregon is that the "weather" resulted from warm air. A warm front. One result of this was that the weather was not violent or extreme. Little instability. Little turbulence. Little lightning. Few thunderstorms. Just very gradual squeezing precipitation out of the air over a long distance and time period as the warm air was pushed up over the existing cooler air (a stable condition). The regime persisted a while into the 25th. The reason for this is that the strong low out to the northwest was still in the same place at 4am on the 25th, and the minor low at the Canada-Montana border was still there. But the strong low was weaker than the day before. The effect of this was that the isobars on the surface chart ran pretty much the same way across the western half of Washington and Oregon as they did at 4am on hijack day, just a bit more like due east-west. The isobar spacing was close to the same, so surface winds were similar in magnitude over most of that area. The high altitude winds were flowing a bit more toward due east. Direction of surface winds could be considerably impacted by the existence of an isobar "thumb" like the 1016 isobar where it passed through Pendleton, OR at 4am on the 24th. The abrupt change of isobar direction means that winds in places near that abrupt change could change direction abruptly as such an isobar feature passed nearby. The super low out to the NW was still pumping warm, humid air eastward into a relatively cooler environment. It was pumping heat and moisture out of the ocean off the coast and, in doing so, it was reducing the ocean water temperature that was creating the super low.

Regardless, I'd put my bets on Amazon if it came down to a battle. Hey, slightly off topic but the US Supreme Court just ruled against warrantless GPS trackers. Obama and Holder lost. Yaaaay! McCoy's chutes had beacon transmitters covertly installed by Perry Stevens, a master rigger and skydiver who incidently taught me how to jump. They were pre GPS but served a similar purpose.

Been checking lately, and I think he's still with the living, but for some reason he hasn't been around. He has a Yahoo site, a regular website, and a blog. No new entries by him in a while. We've had our differences in the past, but I respect what he has done for the Cooper case. He still has the best site about it and tries to keep out the non-facts. (*salute*) Guess you were just *misunderstood*. Guess you are *born again*. Oh! and thanks for all the good updated info on Sluggo, his website, NASA, ESA, the founding of Western Civilisation, and all the rest, not to forget, whatever comes next... Sluggo owes you! There is never a dull hypocracy with you around. You make the rest of us look like damned fools!

He was supposed to post up here to say hi but it must have gotten away from him. I can't say I blame him for not keeping up with the thread. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Hominid 0 #30098 January 25, 2012 My understanding of the occluded front was wrong. This particular occluded front was what is called a warm occluded front. Cool air having caught up with where warmer (less cool) air is already pushing up against even colder air, pushes under the warm air, but over the colder air to the east. Net effect is that the two warmer (least cold) of the three air masses are pushed up over the coldest air to the east. This cools the warmer air masses and causes precipitation. QuoteAt 4am on hijack day, the warm air got to Idaho. ... It occluded (caught up with and overwhelmed) a mild cold front there. It pushed up over the cold air.

Hominid 0 #30093 January 25, 2012 Forgot. Yes, things can get very, very windy if those isobars are too close to each other. Quote My favorite bar is an isobar, preferably not too close to a another isobar. 377 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

377 22 #30095 January 25, 2012 Blevins wroteQuoteThis weekend, I am going to make an entire book a free download in PDF: The 13th Day of Christmas. Main character 'Anna Johnson' was based on real-life Canadian Chief Astronaut Julie Payette, whom I think is the toughest woman on Earth. Okay, Canada anyway. Has Payette ever jumped? Regardless, I'd put my bets on Amazon if it came down to a battle. Hey, slightly off topic but the US Supreme Court just ruled against warrantless GPS trackers. Obama and Holder lost. Yaaaay! McCoy's chutes had beacon transmitters covertly installed by Perry Stevens, a master rigger and skydiver who incidently taught me how to jump. They were pre GPS but served a similar purpose. They would probably have been held to be legal despite the lack of a search warrant due to the "hot pursuit" exception. I too have tried contacting Sluggo to no avail. I hope he is OK. 3772018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
georger 244 #30096 January 25, 2012 I also hope Sluggo is okay. Been checking lately, and I think he's still with the living, but for some reason he hasn't been around. He has a Yahoo site, a regular website, and a blog. No new entries by him in a while. We've had our differences in the past, but I respect what he has done for the Cooper case. He still has the best site about it and tries to keep out the non-facts. (*salute*) Guess you were just *misunderstood*. Guess you are *born again*. Oh! and thanks for all the good updated info on Sluggo, his website, NASA, ESA, the founding of Western Civilisation, and all the rest, not to forget, whatever comes next... Sluggo owes you! There is never a dull hypocracy with you around. You make the rest of us look like damned fools! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomKaye 1 #30097 January 25, 2012 I talked to Sluggo several weeks ago. He is fine but is recovering from some medical issues. He was supposed to post up here to say hi but it must have gotten away from him. I can't say I blame him for not keeping up with the thread.

Hominid 0 #30098 January 25, 2012 My understanding of the occluded front was wrong. This particular occluded front was what is called a warm occluded front. Cool air having caught up with where warmer (less cool) air is already pushing up against even colder air, pushes under the warm air, but over the colder air to the east. Net effect is that the two warmer (least cold) of the three air masses are pushed up over the coldest air to the east. This cools the warmer air masses and causes precipitation. QuoteAt 4am on hijack day, the warm air got to Idaho. ... It occluded (caught up with and overwhelmed) a mild cold front there. It pushed up over the cold air. This cooled the incoming warm, humid air further, causing it to produce more precipitation across the base of the Idaho stovepipe and northwestern Montana (the shading there on the 4am surface chart for the 24th).

Hominid 0 #30100 January 25, 2012 I took a copy of surface chart for the 25th, cleaned off most info other than locations, added some locations for which I could find atmospheric pressure for 8pm on jump night. Then added the pressures for stations I could identify in Georger's image 6b, plus some from Weather Underground. Then estimated isobars for 8pm on jump night. Could add some of the other info typically on a surface chart. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
