More facts that won't really matter (cooling boreal winters)

That the boreal winters have been cooling is pretty much a known fact among researchers.  The reason for this is currently anything but sett...

You can do your own research and confirm the following statements for yourself

 I will bet you money on this.

Doing your own research using supercomputers and a vast array of scientific information at speeds our ancestors would find impossible to believe!

Including the ability to instantly create animations/movies illustrating the data, images and graphs, with a few clicks of a mouse or touchpad. 

This is no fantasy, no science fiction imaginings, it's possible, and I do it every day.  When I was young, before super computers even existed, it would take years to do what I can do in a minute now.  And the results would have been a pathetic (by current standards) and boring.  And on paper.  And almost nobody would ever even look at it.  

The sheer volume of information, easily displayed, is overwhelming. In 5 minutes I can easily gather and save enough information to write a thesis, including hundreds of graphs and an animation as well.


It's ironic that it's easier to gather the information now than it is to put it inane kind of framework/display to show somebody else.  And since my experience is that almost NOBODY ON THE ENTIRE PLANET is interested, I rarely do.  Looking at my blogs you can abundant evidence of this.  But that is something almost nobody will ever do as well.


Like this blog post.  The odds are NOT A SINGLE HUMAN WILL EVER READ IT, and if they do, they won't understand it, or care.


It's really just for my use.  I am not kidding

Seawater colder than the freezing point of seawater


SHARE THIS: 

A “supercoolometer”, a device that sounds like it should be used to measure hipsters, has found the coldest seawater on Earth, under Antarctic sea ice.

NIWA oceanographer Dr Craig Stevens and his team are researching why, in a warming world, sea ice is growing in the Antarctic even though it is receding in the Arctic. Sea ice growth is a vital part of the climate system that influences many aspects of life on the planet. The question is, are the giant ice shelves around Antarctica responsible for this paradox?

This year the team deployed a highly sensitive instrument called a supercoolometer as well as their usual array of ocean turbulence sensors. It was developed at NIWA by Matt Walkington to look at an often-ignored but possibly key part of the Earth’s climate system – seawater colder than freezing point.

GHCN data graphs from the actual raw data pulled from the GHCN website

 Graphs that show unadjusted temperature data are generated by my humble person, using software created by Tony Heller that uses the raw data online from the GHCN (global historic climate network)


A few examples of what is possible with just a mouse click
