Seems like it may be related to an almost record-high Siberian High for October. Any idea of the driver?

New York had its 4th warmest July on record, with drier than average conditions, except in a few downstate areas.

New York just had its 9th warmest June on record and was relatively dry outside of the northeastern Catskills and eastern Mohawk Valley.

I've been logging my fuel economy data on a near daily basis for the last year and finally have enough to model the carbon emissions per mile driven at a range of speeds. Of the many assumptions in the model, I used the EPA estimate of 8,887 grams CO2/ gallon of gas. www.epa.gov/greenvehicle...

An unrelated but equally fascinating article on shorebirds is also in this volume. It’s includes this massive figure depicting the behaviors of various shorebirds.

Well this was a kind of fun distraction today. I was hunting an article to include in a paper we’re writing, but it has not been digitized. Turns out the university library had a print copy. Complete with a hand drawn map of the Red Sea’s bathymetry and an early attempt at mapping its circulation!

There's a very interesting loss of amplitude and significance of natural interannual and decadal variability as well.
If detrended, some of the interannual and decadal signals post 1900 may become significant. But its clear a particular long-term trend is outstrenghthening natural variability.
