Great work from @SJforKids!

Did you know that a weakened polar vortex (a band of strong winds above the North or South Poles) can lead to extremely cold weather & snow in other places? But what can cause a weak polar vortex? Find out what @HamoudaMosti & other researchers learned: https://t.co/zhfVbMfc2N

@rahmstorf 🤣

@judah47 At least you got some consolation before the upcoming Canadian warming 😋

[Mostafa Hamouda @HamoudaMosti]

@MathewABarlow Congratulations!!!

[Mostafa Hamouda @HamoudaMosti]

@marpita567 Lucky for the postdoc not to work with you!

[Mostafa Hamouda @HamoudaMosti]

Events, in which the tropospheric variability is not following the stratosphere (Stratosphere-Troposphere Decoupling) are discussed. We propose that such events are associated with SST patterns limited to lower mid-latitude.

Polar Vortex Disruptions by High Latitude Ocean Warming. https://t.co/GUVOaxCm03 with @AlicePortal94 and Claudia Pasquero.

[Mostafa Hamouda @HamoudaMosti]

Such high-latitude ocean warming favors wave-1 tropospheric anomalies that propagates up towards the stratosphere.

@judah47 @wxjay Dunkin actually tastes better in Germany 😂

[Mostafa Hamouda @HamoudaMosti]

@judah47 Yes from ERA5

[Mostafa Hamouda @HamoudaMosti]

@madnanabid Well done!

[Mostafa Hamouda @HamoudaMosti]

@wxjay 🤣

@judah47 I think all we get this winter is a lather-rinse-repeat PV! No split 🤦

[Mostafa Hamouda @HamoudaMosti]

Fascinating how GFS changed a lot overnight! From a PV split, to a displacement to Europe.

@judah47 Couldn’t be more accurate 😂😂😂

[Mostafa Hamouda @HamoudaMosti]

SST continues to break records! The global average is 0.3 °C higher than the most extreme record, and 0.8 °C higher than the average at this time of the year.
