<title>Signature of antimatter detected in lightning</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23305930</link>
<description><![CDATA[ said by wired.com :WASHINGTON, D.C. &#151; Designed to scan the heavens thousands to billions of light-years beyond the solar system, the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has now recorded some more down-to-Earth signals. During its first 14 months of operation, the flying observatory has detected 17 gamma-ray flashes associated with terrestrial lightning storms.

The flashes occurred just before, during and immediately after lightning strikes, as tracked by the World Wide Lightning Location Network.

During two recent lightning storms, Fermi recorded gamma-ray emissions of a particular energy that could only have been produced by the decay of energetic positrons, the antimatter equivalent of electrons. The observations are the first of their kind for lightning storms. Michael Briggs of the University of Alabama in Huntsville announced the puzzling findings Nov. 5 at the 2009 Fermi Symposium.

<title>Long Range Weather Forecast Discussion Nov. 8-19</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23297573</link>
<description><![CDATA[Long Range Weather Forecast Discussion Nov. 8-19

345 PM EDT Thu. Nov. 5, 2009

 

Above normal temperatures are forecast for much of the nation except the Northwest where below normal temperatures are expected during the period Nov. 8-12. 

Models and ensembles are in fair agreement on the forecast 500 hpa height pattern for the period Nov. 11-15. Recent ensembles from the GFS, the European and the Canadian models all predict a fast north Pacific jet into the Aleutians with a deep trough centered west of Alaska. The 00Z and 06Z GFS ensembles are forecasting a trough over the West extending southward and a ridge over the eastern U.S. The 00Z European ensemble means predict a somewhat more amplified ridge over the East and weaker western trough. The 00Z GFS operational models predict a similar pattern over the nation. Below normal temperatures are forecast for much of the Rockies and the Southwest. Above normal temperatures are forecast for the northern and central Plains, the Mississippi, Ohio and Tennessee Valleys. Above normal precipitation is forecast for the Northwest.  Below normal precipitation is forecast for the Southwest, a large part of the Rockies and the western Plains.  Above normal precipitation is forecast for the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys, the interior mid-Atlantic and the northern New England. 

The ensembles are in fair agreement on the forecast 500 hpa pattern for the period Nov. 13-19. The ensembles operational models are in agreement in maintaining a strong north Pacific jet into the Aleutians into the Gulf of Alaska. There is some disagreement on the forecast across the nation among ensemble means solutions with most recent model solutions indicating a progression of a trough over the nation. This progression would result in lowering heights over the eastern part of the nation and rising heights over the West.  The 00Z and 06Z GFS operational models have a trough over the East and a ridge over the West.  Little change is expected in the precipitation anomalies. However, differences were noted in the temperature anomalies as noted above.

...Strong Cold Front To Impact Region With Rain...Wind...And Heavy Swells Along The Beaches Late This Week..

A Strong Low Pressure System Is Beginning To Get Organized In The Gulf Of Alaska Today...And Will Rapidly Strengthen Into A Powerful Storm Tonight And Wednesday. While The Center Of This Low Pressure System Is Expected To Remain In The Gulf Of Alaska...It Will Push A Strong Cold Front Onshore Into The Pacific Northwest Thursday.

Winds Associated With The Front May Gust As High As 50 To 60 Mph Near The Beaches And Coastal Headlands Thursday...As Well As Across The Higher Terrain Of The Coast Range And Cascades. The Front Will Likely Be Accompanied By A Period Of Heavy Rain.. Especially In The Coast Range Where Up To 2 To 3 Inches Of Rain Are Possible Thursday Through Thursday Night.

Snow Levels Will Start Off Well Above The Cascade Passes Early Thursday...But Are Expected To Fall Quickly As The Front Moves Across The Cascades Thursday Afternoon And Evening. By Friday Morning...Accumulating Snow Is Possible As Low As Some Of The Cascade Passes. With Cool Unsettled Weather Expected To Continue
For Several Days Behind The Front...Snow Showers May Continue Through The Weekend As Low As 3000 To 4000 Feet In Elevation.

Another Significant Aspect Of The Gulf Of Alaska Storm System Will Be The Very Large Ocean Swell Expected To Develop As The Storm Strengthens Wednesday. This Swell May Begin Impacting The South Washington And North Oregon Coast With High Surf As Early As Thursday Morning...With The Strongest Waves Impacting The Beaches
Thursday Night Through Saturday. The Heavy Surf May Provide The Possibility For Minor Coastal Flooding During High Tide...And The Large Breakers May Produce Hazardous Conditions Along The Beaches.

<description><![CDATA[Long Range Weather Forecast Discussion Nov. 5-16

630 PM EDT Mon. Nov. 2, 2009

 

Models agree on a zonal to weakly amplified flow for the period Nov. 5-9 across the nation most of the period, then amplifying thereafter.

 

Models and ensembles are in very good agreement on the 500 hpa pattern for the period Nov. 8-12. The ensembles are forecasting large positive height anomalies over eastern North America and troughs across western North America. The European ensembles produce a similar but more amplified pattern across the nation than the Canadian. The European operational model depicts a deeper trough than the European ensembles. Below normal temperatures are forecast across the Southwest into the central Rockies. Above normal temperatures are forecast along the East coast and the upper Mississippi Valley. Above normal precipitation is forecast across the Rockies. Below normal precipitation is forecast from the eastern Plains to the East coast.

 

The Canadian and the GFS ensembles are in fair agreement on the forecast 500 hpa height anomalies for the period Nov. 10-16. Ensemble models are in general agreement in forecasting a positive height anomaly over Canada and the northern part of the nation. However, there is some disagreement on the forecast of the location of a trough over the nation among the ensemble means. The Canadian ensembles generally indicating progression of a broader trough over the center of the nation compared to the GFS ensembles, which indicate a weak trough farther west. Little change is expected in the temperature and precipitation anomalies.

<title>[Forecast] Midwest showers today, Northeast tonight</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23278268</link>
<description><![CDATA[November 2, 2009

Midwest
A weak cold front will bring a few showers to the Midwest today. The greatest chance of rain is expected to be near the Great Lakes, where rain chances will linger into the evening and overnight hours. Rainfall amounts overall should be relatively light. Another system will move into the region Tuesday bringing another shot at some rain and snow showers in the Upper Mississippi Valley, then to the Great Lakes Wednesday. Showery weather is expected to continue in portions of the Upper Midwest into late week and through the weekend. Highs today will range from the mid 30s in northern Minnesota to around 70 in the Missouri Ozarks.

Northeast
A few showers are also possible along the Mid-Atlantic Coast as an area of low pressure begins to track away from the Outer Banks and out to sea. Gusty winds are also possible along the coast today, along with some shallow coastal flooding. The system producing showers in the Midwest today will bring showery weather tonight and tomorrow across the region, along with cooler temperatures. More showers are possible late week across the region, along with over the weekend in the interior. Highs today will range from the 40s in Northern New England to around 60 in western West Virginia.

South
Much of the South should be dry today, with the only chances of rain coming in eastern Virginia and South Florida. Some shallow coastal flooding and rip currents are possible along the North Carolina Outer Banks and the Virginia Coast. Scattered afternoon showers are possible each day this week along Florida?s East Coast, while the remainder of the region should stay dry. Highs today will range from the 50s over much of Virginia and the eastern two-thirds of North Carolina to the upper 80s in South Florida. A few record highs are possible in South Florida as well.

West
Dry weather is expected to continue over the West for most of the week ahead as an upper level ridge sets up across the region. Warm temperatures are also expected underneath the ridge, with some record highs possible in the Southwest throughout the first half of the week. By mid to late week, the ridge is forecast to begin to break down leading to a moderation in temperatures, with a storm system moving into the Pacific Northwest Coast bringing a chance of rain and mountain snow. Highs today will range from the 30s in the higher elevations of the Rockies and Cascades to the 90s in parts of southeastern California and southern Arizona.

<title>Showery East Coast</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23274814</link>
<description><![CDATA[November 1, 2009

South
An area of low pressure lingering near the Southeast Coast will keep the chance of showers in the forecast today from Virginia southward to Florida today. The heaviest rain is expected in central and eastern portions of North Carolina and Virginia. The rain will slowly taper off tonight into tomorrow in eastern North Carolina and Virginia, with some storms possible from the same system over the Florida Peninsula through Tuesday. Highs today will range from the 50s in western North Carolina and much of Virginia to the upper 80s in South Florida.

Midwest
The Midwest will be impacted by a round of relatively weak but fast moving systems this week. The first system will bring a chance of rain from northern Minnesota to Michigan today and tomorrow, with some snow showers possible in northern Minnesota today. A second system will impact the Upper Mississippi Valley Tuesday and the Great Lakes Wednesday, with a third system dropping south late week. Each system will bring a reinforcing shot of cool temperatures. Highs today will range from the upper 30s in the Arrowhead of Minnesota to the mid 70s in south central Kansas.

Northeast
Showery weather is expected primarily this morning along the Northeast Coast from the frontal boundary that brought rain and wind to the region yesterday. Skies should clear from west to east, and by this evening the region should be dry. Another round of rain will move into the region Tuesday from the system moving through the Upper Midwest today and tomorrow, with a return of cool temperatures behind it. Highs today will mostly be in the 40s and 50s.

West
Dry weather is expected across most of the West today. Some light rain or snow showers are possible in parts of the Northern Rockies. An upper level ridge will bring warm temperatures to the Southwest over the next few days before the ridge begins to break down midweek. Showers and mountain snow showers will begin to impact the Pacific Northwest late week, with temperatures beginning to return to near average. Highs today will range from the 30s in the higher elevations of Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado, to near 90 in Death Valley.

<title>Area: Philippines, Province of Batangas, Batangas-wide,</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23272337</link>
<description><![CDATA[ 
Description:

Typhoon Mirinae smashed into the Philippines overnight, washing away a bridge, causing power outages and dumping fresh rain on areas still flooded after recent killer storms, officials say. There have been no reports of fatalities but one man is missing after his hut was washed away by floodwaters, said civil defence spokesman Ernesto Torres. One person was rescued after a bridge in Batangas City just south of Manila was destroyed by a swollen river, taking at least one car with it, local officials said. It was not yet clear if anyone was missing from the incident. Electricity supplies were also interrupted in parts of Manila and in surrounding areas as the storm toppled power lines and trees, rendering some roads impassable, Mr Torres said. All international and local flights to and from Manila were cancelled, said airport general manager Alfonso Cusi. He said he hoped flights would resume once the storm had passed. Mirinae weakened after hitting the eastern province of Quezon at midnight as it crossed the main Philippine island of Luzon, moving west towards the South China Sea. The typhoon, packing gusts of 160 kilometres was charted at about 8:00am above the province of Batangas, moving south-west at 24 kilometres per hour. The highest level of a three-step storm alert remains hoisted over Manila and its surrounding provinces. Philippine civil defence officials had prepared extensively for Mirinae after storms Ketsana and Parma hit the country in recent weeks, leading to more than 1,100 deaths, including fatalities from disease outbreaks. Floods from the earlier storms still have not yet receded in some areas and were worsened by Mirinae, officials said.

<title>Long Range Weather Forecast Discussion Nov. 3-14</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23271414</link>
<description><![CDATA[Long Range Weather Forecast Discussion Nov. 3-14

326 PM EDT Sat. Oct. 31, 2009

 

A brisk cyclonic flow is expected across the northern portion of the nation, dominated by the polar jet for the period Nov. 3-7. The UKMET and the Canadian models depict a pattern consisting of a flat western ridge and an eastern trough late next week. However, this differs from the 00Z European which has more of a broad trough developing over southwestern Canada.

 

Models and ensembles are in good agreement on the expected 500-hpa pattern for the period Nov. 6-10. The pattern features a low amplitude flow across the nation with a tendency for weak troughs over the northeastern part of the country and the Gulf of Alaska. A weak ridge is forecast across the west-central part of the nation. The GFS ensembles remain more amplified both with the trough forecast over the Northeast and the upstream ridge compared to the European and the Canadian ensembles. The PNA index has recently become almost neutral and is forecast to become slightly negative through day 10 and then positive by day 14. The NAO index has recently has been slight positive and is forecast to become positive by day 7, trend towards negative by day 14. Below normal heights are forecast across the Northeast. Above to near normal heights are forecast across much of the remainder of the nation and the western Aleutians. The expectations of a low amplitude flow pattern, suggests much of the nation will be dominated by air of Pacific origin. This will likely cause above normal temperatures across a large part of the nation. Below normal temperatures are forecast across the Northeast. Above normal precipitation is forecast along the northern California coast and the northwest coast.  The Pacific flow will likely cause dry conditions across much of the nation, across the Rockies, the Plains, the lower Mississippi Valley and the Southeast. 

 

The GFS and the Canadian ensembles continue to depict a slow progression of the flow pattern compared to that forecast in the previous period during Nov. 8-14. This will result in a fast zonal flow across the nation. A trough is forecast over southeastern into the Northeast and a flat ridge over the west-central U.S. A trough is also forecast over the Gulf of Alaska. The 0Z and 6Z operational GFS are more amplified with the expected flow pattern and the 6Z operational GFS is less progressive with the main circulation features. Above normal heights are forecast across the much of the nation. Little change is expected in the temperature and precipitation anomalies.

<title>[Astronomy]  A Mars Rover Named &#x22;Curiosity&#x22;</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23270548</link>
<description><![CDATA[October 30, 2009: If you found your grandmother's diary, tattered and dust covered, up in the attic, would you read it? Of course you would. Granny was a pistol! Brush off the dust, open up the little book, and foray into her lively and interesting past.

Dust cloaks some fascinating tales in other places, too. NASA scientists will soon brush the dust off some Martian rocks that are practically bursting their seams to give their lively account of the red planet's past. The Mars Science Lab -- aptly named "Curiosity" -- is heading up there in 2011 to read the diary of Mars.

The small, car-sized rover will ramble about on the rocky surface, gizmos at full tilt, not only brushing dust off rocks but also vaporizing them with a laser beam, gathering samples to analyze on the spot, taking high resolution photographs, and more.
