To add to what Fred said, MJO has 8 phases including what's called the NULL phase in the inner circle. During tropical season, we look at the MJO for Atlantic tropical activity as well as the Western/Eastern Pacific. I have a spreadsheet on the MJO and Atlantic tropical activity during each phase (1975 to present day). At some point in the future, one of my projects will be looking at the severe weather/tornado events that occur in each MJO phase.
Someone else in the past brought up how Phase 2 was the more active severe/tornado phase. Can't recall who that was though
That is what concerns me, is starting to sound like a song I've heard before.
Yikes
Looks like it time to get chase season going !
Why bite your tongue. Too many people biting their tongues/afraid to speak out is why we’re here in the first place. If you’ve got a platform and a voice, use it. If not, it’s only going to get worse. Less Trump more shrimp
I mean, there is a political thread dedicated to politics on this site. And I agree there is a better way to make budget cuts then firing folks at NOAA/NWS.
We have amazing folks at the wheel in our WFOs - for all the machinery, software and data we have, those humans are the ones that make stuff happen. Genuinely hard to imagine what the work of sectors influenced by them, emergency management especially, would look like without them.
Musk is just using DOGE to consolidate power. You think he cares about saving a few billion from the budget or clearing the swamp? When you're that rich and powerful already, the only obstacle to gaining more wealth and power, effectively, is the government. Or at least, it is the largest obstacle. DOGE is a Trojan Horse. Musk should be considered very suspicious.
