THE SKY IS FALLING

THE WEATHER OVER NAGPUR SKIES AND ENTIRE CENTRAL INDIA (ALMOST), BEING STABLE, WITH MINIMAL DISTURBANCE (RISING HEAT), WHICH IS USUAL DURING THIS TIME OF THE YEAR, THERE IS NOTHING MUCH OF A FEEDBACK TO SHARE.

BUT, I WISH TO SHARE ONE ARTICLE WHICH I READ FEW DAYS AGO, AND HOPE THAT SCIENCE BUFFS MAY HAVE GONE THROUGH EARLIER.

Nacreous Clouds-Mother Of Pearl 

THE NASA SATELLITE DATA STUDIED BY UNIVERSITY OF AUCKLAND FOR THE PAST TEN YEARS RESULTED IN STARTLING REVELATIONS THAT CLOUD TOPS ARE LOWERING IN HEIGHTS.

THE LESS FORMATION OF CLOUDS AT HIGHER ALTITUDE (VERTICAL) AND THE GLOBAL AVERAGE ALTITUDE OF CLOUD HAS DROPPED BY ABOUT 40 Mtrs.(SAY ABOUT 130 FEET OR 1%).

Noctilucent Clouds

THIS MAY BE A RESULT OF CHANGING ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURES WHICH ARE IMPACTING CLOUD FORMATION.

BUT ‘THE LOWER IN ATMOSPHERE’ CLOUD FORMATION WOULD RESULT IN THE ‘EARTH TO COOL’ MORE AND THUS POTENTIALLY OFFSETTING THE THREAT OF ‘GLOBAL WARMING’, CAUSED BY GREENHOUSE GASES.

THE TEN YEAR DATA MAY BE INSUFFICIENT TO DRAW FINAL CONCLUSION OF ‘LOWER CLOUD HEIGHT’.

THE CLOUDS ARE, EPHEMERAL, AND DIFFICULT IN REAL TIME TO TRACK, THEIR HEIGHT AND THEIR LOCATION  MAY VARY DUE TO LOCAL OROGRAPHY, BUT THERE IS CERTAINLY A CHANGE IN CIRCULATION PATTERN THAT GIVE RISE TO CLOUD FORMATION AT HIGH ALTITUDE.

Mr DAVIES AND HIS COLLEAGUES HAVE ANALYSED THE DATA RECEIVED FROM ‘MULTI-ANGLE IMAGING SPECTRORADIOMETER’ ON NASA’S TERRA SPACECRAFT FOR A PERIOD FROM MARCH 2000 TO FEBRUARY 2010 AND IF THE FUTURE OBSERVATIONS ALSO SHOW THAT THE CLOUDS ARE ACTUALLY GETTING LOWER, THEN AN IMPORTANT EFFECT ON GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE (SLOW OR EXCERBATE THE EFFECT OF GLOBAL WARMING) IS NOT RULED OUT. {EXTRACTS FROM WRITE-UP OF Mr STEPHANIE PAPPAS}.

NAGPUR WEATHER IN THE POLITICALLY ACTIVE AND VOLATILE WEEK

THE NAGPUR MUNICIPALITY WILL SEE A NEW MAYOR IN THIS WEEK, AS THE POLLING IS OVER YESTERDAY, AND THE COUNTING OF VOTES BEGINS, FINALLY, TEMPERATURE WISE, WE WILL BE IN THE COMFORT ZONE AT NAGPUR.

THE WEEK FROM 17^th WILL SEE A DROP IN RH AND THE MINIMUM TEMPERATURES WILL BE VIRTUALLY CONSTANT IN THE RANGE OF 20°C (+/-0.5) AND THE MAXIMUM TEMP IS SET TO RISE (ALONG WITH THE POLITICAL ACTIVITY) DAILY BY APPROX 0.5°C ON AN AVERAGE AND THE DAY AT THE WEEK END WILL SEE AT LEAST FOUR DEGREES RISE IN THE MAX TEMPS AND MAY CROSS 35°C.

THE ATMOSPHERE IS VERY MUCH STABLE, AS OF NOW, THROUGHT THE WEEK.

THE NWlies WILL SET TO Wlies TILL THE MID-TROP LEVELS AND GROUND WINDS WILL GRADUALLY REDUCE FROM 15-20Kmph TO 2-5Kmph.

SIMILAR WEATHER ACROSS CENTRAL INDIA(MINUS POLITICS) TILL RAIPUR-BILASPUR IN THE CHHATTISGRAH IS EXPECTED, EXCEPT A BIT OF ACTIVITY, TODAY IN THE NE CHTG.

NAGPUR WEATHER IN THE WEEK OF "VALENTINE'S-DAY"

THE NAGPUR SKIES CONTINUE TO BE PARTLY CLOUDY TO MAINLY CLOUDY.

THE WEEK TILL 18^th FEB 2012 WILL BE WARM AND THE MAX TEMPS WILL RISE BY ABOUT FIVE TO SIX DEGREE CEL TILL THE END OF THE WEEK.

THE MIN TEMPS WILL ALSO SHOW THE SAME TREND OF RISING THROUGHT THE WEEK. THE UPPER WINDS TILL  1.5Kms AGL SHOW A CHANGING TREND AND WILL BECOME Sly TO SWly, THUS BRINGING IN SOME MOISTURE OVER THE NAGPUR SKIES FROM 12^th.

THE LIFTED INDEX BEING –IVE AND THE CAPE SUGGESTS A THUNDERY DEVELOPMENT IN THE NIGHT TO EARLY MORNING OF 12^th/13^th FEB 2012 AND FEW DROPS OF RAIN (TOTAL  PRECIPITABLE WATER NOT EXCEEDING 5mm) WILL BE THERE, AND PAVING ITS WAY FOR A PLEASANT WEATHER FOR LOVE BIRDS ON THE VALENTINE DAY, FEB THE 14^th.

THE WINDS ABOVE 1.5 Kms AGL CONTINE TO BE Wly. GROUND WINDS WILL EXCEED 20 Kmph FROM 13^th TO 15^th AND THEREFORE, THE WIND CHILL FACTOR WILL GIVE US A FEELING OF LOWER THAN ACTUAL TEMPERATURES.
