HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013

THE YEAR 2012 WAS VERY TUMULTUOUS, RESTLESS AND TURBULENT, DISORDERLY AND DISTURBED FOR ME, BUT HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR GOD'S GRACE, IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR ME TO SEE THIS DAY.

HOWEVER, LIKE EVERY YEAR (FROM LAST TWO YEARS) THE YEAR END i.e DECEMBER The 31st WILL BE WARM, MAINLY TO PARTLY CLOUDY AND THE DAY OF THE NEW YEAR 2013 WILL BE GREETED BY HEAVENLY SHOWERS WHICH CONTINUE TO THREATEN THROUGH OUT THE NIGHT TILL EARLY MORNING OF 02nd JANUARY 2013.

THOUGH THE AMOUNT OF RAINFALL IS VERY LESS, THE FIVE DEG RISE IN MINIMUM TEMP(ON 2nd Jan. 2013)WILL MAKE IT COMFORTABLE, THE 03rd JAN 2013 WILL AGAIN SEE AN EQUAL DROP IN MIN TEMP AND SEE-SAW CONTINUES THROUGH OUT THE WEEK AT NAGPUR AND AROUND.

THE ABOVE TEN KT GROUND WIND WILL CONTINUE TO GIVE ENOUGH FEEL OF CHILL TO REMIND US THAT WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER SEASON.

WISH YOU ALL A VERY VERY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR 2013

DELAYED MONSOON IN 2012 AT NAGPUR

ALL THE METEOROLOGISTS ARE VERY CAUTIOUSLY TREADING TO DERIVE THE RATHER INCONSISTENT OUTPUT OF SEVERAL FORECASTING MODELS, MORE SO FOR DECLARING THE ONSET OF MONSOON.

THE CHART PATTERNS PREDICT SOME RAIN FALL TO OCCUR IN VIDARBHA (ESPECIALLY IN NAGPUR) ON SAT. THE 16^th JUNE 2012 AND SUN THE 17^th JUNE.

THE AMOUNT OF RAINFALL SPREAD OVER THE ENTIRE DAY(SAT EVE. TILL SUN EVE.) MAY NOT EXCEED 10-12 mms BUT THE NAGPURIANS WILL BE GREETED BY MORNING RAINS WHEN THEY WAKE UP ON SUNDAY.

SHOWERS WILL MAKE THEIR PRESENCE ON 18^th JUNE 2012 AND 19^th JUNE 2012 WITH A POSSIBILITY OF THUNDERSTORM.

 IF WE ARE IN A HURRY TO DECLARE THE ONSET OF MONSOON AT NAGPUR, IT CAN BE DONE ON 17^th , EVEN THOUGH ALL THE PARAMETERS (CRITERIA) MAY NOT BE SATISFIED FOR DECLARING THE ONSET OF MONSOON.

THE WEEK TILL 21^st JUNE WILL BE CLOUDY AND THERE AFTER TILL 25^th JUNE 2012 ABSOLUTELY DRY WITH SCORCHING SUN AND HUMIDITY IN THE RANGE OF 40-60% MAKING THE FEEL-VERY-UNCOFRTABLE.

THE SOWING SEASONS ARE CHANGING AND THEREFORE THE FARMERS IN VIDARBHA SHOULD NOT MAKE A HURRY TO SOW THEIR SEEDS TILL THE SECOND/THIRD WEEK OF JULY 2012.

PRESENTLY THERE IS AN INDICATION OF EASTERLIES AT 200hpa BUT NOT STRONG TO BRING ENOUGH MOISTURE TO PRECIPITATE. THE POSITION MIGHT IMPROVE BY JUNE END OR JULY FIRST WEEK.

MONSOON AT NAGPUR IN 2012

THE MONSOON IS EXPECTED AROUND 20^th JUNE (AT NAGPUR) AND THE DELAY IN ONSET OVER KERALA IS NOT A NEWS; NOW.

THE VARIABILITY IN THE OLR ANOMALIES IN THE INDIAN OCEAN AND SINCE APRIL 2012 THE NEUTRAL TO POSITIVE ANOMALIES (IN THE ENSO3.4 SST) INDICATES UNFAVOURABLE CONDITIONS FOR PRECIPITATION.

THE OCEAN NINO INDEX  WHICH IS A MEASUREMENT WHICH HELPS IN ASSESSING AND MONITORING ENSO CONDITIONS HOWEVER DOES NOT INDICATE A FULL FLEDGED ELNINO CONDITION (FIVE CONSECUTIVE OVERLAPPING OF THREE MONTHS SEASON IS NECESSARY).

THE ENSO PLAYS A DOMINANT ROLE IN CLIMATE AND MONSOON VARIABILITY (ATLEAST IN THE LAST ABOUT FOUR DECADES).

ISOLATED RAINS COUPLED WITH THUNDERSTORM IN WESTERN MAHARASHTRA IN THE MUMBAI-PUNE AREA (THE GOA COASTAL AREA WILL RECEIVE GOOD AMOUNT OF RAINFALL DURING THIS PERIOD) ON 05^th JUNE 2012.

PARTLY CLOUDY SKY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL IN THE FIRST WEEK OF JUNE 2012 AND IN SOME PARTS OF VID DURING THE PERIOD 02^ND TO 04^TH JUNE WITH FEW DROPS OF RAIN HERE AND THERE WITH POSSIBILITY OF COUPLED THUNDERSTORM.

THE MAX TEMPS AT NAGPUR WILL SEE A DROP OF ABOUT 3-4 Deg Cel ON 02^nd JUNE AND THE MAX TEMPS WILL BE AROUND NORMAL THEREAFTER WHICH IS ROUTINE.

WEAK MONSOON IN 2012 LIKELY (??)

I HAVE BEEN WORKING OUT TO TRY AND GET AS MUCH DATA AS I COULD COLLECT SO AS TO REACH AS NEAR AS IT COULD BE TO THE "CORRECT FORECAST". NOW IT WOULD BE EASIER FOR ME TO FINALIZE MY VIEWS ON THE "MONSOON IN 2012", AS I WANT TO SHARE THIS NEWS WITH YOU ALL HERE:-

Source: 

The dreaded El Nino weather phenomenon is  set to appear during the second half of the southwest monsoon, which may cause less-than-expected rains in August and September.

El Nino had earlier hit the Indian monsoon in 2009, when the country faced a severe drought.

This time, its impact is not clear as of now, but if there are excessive breaks in the monsoon, crops of paddy, oilseeds and pulses could bear the brunt.

Senior officials of the India Meteorological Department said they were now more confident that El Nino would indeed appear during the second half of the southwest season, compared to April when the last official forecast was made.

At the time of the April forecast, El Nino was in a neutral state.

"Between April and May-end, weather conditions have changed and we are now more certain that El Nino will make an appearance during the second half of the four-month southwest monsoon," a senior IMD official, who did not want to be identified, told Business Standard.
He said weather models operational across the globe showed this.
However, the intensity of El Nino is not clear, he added.
El Nino, which is the generic term for warming of air surface pressure over the tropical west Pacific, causes low rains.
Its coverage includes the Indian sub-continent.
In 2009, the drought it had caused was one of the worst in three decades.
The rains in 2009 were almost 23 per cent below normal, leading to a sharp increase in prices of food items, particularly of fruits and vegetables.
Foodgrain production dropped almost seven per cent, while overall farm production had contracted 0.1 per cent in 2009-10, year-on-year.
This year, if El Nino causes any intense break in the southwest monsoon, it could harm production of paddy (de-husked rice), oilseeds and pulses, as most crops planted in June reach their early maturing stage around August.
About 55 per cent of arable land in India is rain-fed.
Already, there are sceptical voices over India achieving 7.6 per cent growth in 2012-13, as was assumed in the Budget.
Though agriculture contributes less than a fifth to India's gross domestic product, it is still the largest employer and, hence, crucial for demand generation in rural areas.
Besides, good farm production assumes importance this time since food inflation is already in double digits, according to the latest data for April.
Eminent agricultural economist and chairman of the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices, Ashok Gulati, in a recent interview to Business Standard had said this time rain could be erratic in northwestern parts of the country but normal over the southern and central parts.
He based his argument on the unusually long winter and IMD's not-so-perfect record in predicting low monsoon years.
IMD officials said their prediction for onset and subsequent movement of the southwest monsoon over the Andaman islands and thereafter over the Kerala coast would, however  remain unchanged.
Earlier this month, the Met office had said the southwest monsoon would hit the Kerala coast around June 1, well within the normal date of arrival.
Its latest statement, issued on Saturday also said: "The date of onset of the southwest monsoon over Kerala is likely to be June 1, with a model error of plus or minus four days."
The southwest monsoon enters the Indian mainland from the Kerala coast in June and then covers the entire country in the subsequent months.

It starts retreating from west Rajasthan around September, after completing its four-month journey over India.
The four-month monsoon season provides around 70 per cent of total annual moisture that India receives. IMD in its first official forecast for 2012 southwest monsoon released last month had said that rains would be by and large normal across the country.
"Rains this year would be around 99 per cent of long period average.
"Normal monsoon is considered when rains are between 96 to 104 per cent of LPA," IMD had said.
LPA is the average rainfall across the country in 50 years starting from 1941. It is estimated at 89 centimetres.

EARTH DAY, APRIL THE 22nd

THE WORLD’S FIRST “EARTH DAY” WAS CELEBRATED ON APRIL 22 1970 AND THE CONCEPT WAS INTRODUCED BY Mr GAYLORD NELSON,  UNITED STATES SENATOR, AS AN ENVIRONMENT TEACH-IN DAY.

BUT AT AN UNESCO CONFERENCE IN SAN FRANCISCO IN 1969 Mr JOHN MCCONNELL COINED THE IDEA FIRST, AND LATER A PROCLAIMATION WAS SIGNED BY THE THEN GENERAL SECRETARY U THANT AT THE UNITED NATIONS AND OBSERVED ON MARCH 21 1970 AS THE EARTH-DAY WHICH ALSO COINCIDED WITH THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE.

NEVER THE LESS THE CREDIT GOES TO Mr NELSON TO WIDELY PUBLICIZE AND INCREASE THE AWARENESS TO SAVE AND PROTECT THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT OF THE EARTH.

THE INTERNATIONAL MOTHER EARTH DAY WILL BE CELEBRATED TILL 2015 EVERY YEAR ON APRIL 22 AS DESIGNATED BY THE UNITED NATIONS.

THE NEXT UNITED NATIONS GENERAL SECRETARY KURT WALDHEIM ALSO CELEBRATED WITH EQUAL ZEAL AND SINCE THEN THE MARCH EQUINOX IS CELEBRATED IN OVER 150 COUNTRIES.

A JAPANESE PEACE BELL WAS DONATED TO THE UNITED NATIONS AND THE EARTH DAY IS CELEBRATED BY RINGING THE BELL TRADITIONALLY.

WORLD OVER CONFERENCES FOR STUDENTS AND SCIENTISTS ARE HELD INFORMING THE PEOPLE AT LARGE THE IMPORTANCE OF PRESERVING AND PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE LIFE ON THE EARTH.

MANY COMMUNITY SERVICES ARE ALSO HELD LIKE COLLECTING ITEMS/GARBAGE WHICH IS RECYLEABLE, CLEANING THE PROPERTY-IN-USE BY THE PUBLIC, ETC.

SINCE EVERY ONE WANTS A PEACEFUL AND CHEERFUL EARTH, THE HOLY DAY BRINGS PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD, YET PRESERVING THE NATIONAL BORDERS AND GEOGRAPHICAL INTEGRITIES, NO DIVISION OF IDEAS AND NO SUPERIORITY OVER OTHERS, ACROSS THE OCEANS AND MOUNTAINS TO PRESERVE THE HARMONY IN NATURE.

THE PLANETARY OBSERVANCE OF SHARING DAY AND NIGHT IN EQUAL LENGTH WHEN THE SUN CROSSES THE EQUATOR IS THE MOST ANCIENT WAY AND AN ASTRONOMICAL PHENOMENON WHICH THE EARTH ALSO SHARES EQUALLY WITH THE PEOPLE ON THE EARTH.

LET US VOW TO BE ECO FRIENDLY, ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY, UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE AND PRESERVE THE ECOLOGY ON THIS “EARTH DAY”.

LOUD THINKING

“THEY ARE SLAVES WHO DARE NOT BE IN THE RIGHT WITH TWO OR THREE”…….Mr. James Russell Lowell
WHEN THE BIG DADDY(??) IN IMD COULD NOT PLAY TO BE A GREAT DAD, THE MIXED REACTIONS ARE BOUND TO COME IN MOST UNEXPECTED MANNER.

WHERE AS; ‘THE VERDICT’ COULD BE JUST ANOTHER DOT, THE APPLICANTS FAILED TO DO THEIR HOME WORK BEFORE APPROACHING THE H’ABLE CAT.

IN THE NOT-SURPRISING AND EXPECTED RESULT,

NOBODY IS HAPPY—NOBODY IS SAD.

BY AN EXAMINATION OF FACTORS INDICATED IN THE JUDGEMENT AND ALL OTHER RELEVANT FACTORS, IN MY VIEW(STANDS CORRECTED; IF ANY) THE FACT-SITUATION IN THIS CASE AND THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN DISPOSING THE OA; IS THAT, IF THE CONTENT PROVIDED IS INCOMPLETE, THERE IS NO VALIDLY CONSTITUTED APPEAL.

IT PAINS ME A LOT WHEN CERTAIN PEOPLE THINK, ACT AND BEHAVE LIKE HAVING KEPT THEIR BRAINS (if any) MORTGAGED FOR NOTHING AND HENCE BEING MIND-LESS ARE BLIND TO THINK PROPERLY BECAUSE THEY CONTINUE TO TREAD THE WRONG PATH, WHICH THEY BELIEVE IS RIGHT.
THE RIGHT TO DISEMINATION OF RIGHT INFORMATION LIES WITH EVERY BODY AND THOSE WHO INTERPRET IT WRONGLY ARE DWELLING IN THEIR OWN WORLD OF WHIMS AND FANCY.

THIS MAKES THEM TIMID AND COWARD AND PUT OBNOXIOUS COMMENTS ANONYMOUSLY AND THEY DON’T DARE TO WRITE THEIR NAME WHILE COMMENTING.

WHILE CRITICISM IS WELCOME, AS IT BOOSTS MY ENERGY TO BETTER MYSELF, IT SHOULD BE HEALTHY.

PEOPLE HAVE STARTED FEELING SHAME AND ARE NOW REPENTING AND MORE THAN WILLING TO CHANGE FOR GOOD.

JAHAN SE HUM DEKHTE HAI, WAHAN SE JAISE HUM DEKHNA CHHAHATE HAI WAISA DIKHTA HAI—PAR JAHAN SE UPAR WALA DEKHTA HAI WAHAN SE SAB SAAF SAAF DIKHTA HAI.

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.

NacreousCloud

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}.

THE POSSIBILITY OF RAIN ON 29th IS REDUCED TO A MERE 05% ONLY.

A SHARP DROP OF ABOUT 4 DEG CEL (-0.5/+0.5) IN MIN TEMP WILL OCCUR ON 29th JAN AND WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN AROUND 16(-0.5/+1.5) DEG CEL.

THESE KIND OF BOUNCY TEMPERATURES ARE GENERALLY SEEN IN THE TRANSITION MONTH OF MARCH BUT DUE TO W/D GETTING IN TO LOWER LEVELS AND A CYCLONIC CIRCULATION IN THE CENTRAL-EASTERN PARTS OF INDIA (around chtg and vidarbha) A LARGE VARIATION IS SEEN.

I EXPRESS MY SINCERE THANKS TO Shri MAKARAND MANDE FROM IMD PUNE TO HAVE POINTED OUT THE ERROR OF REPORTING “REPUBLIC DAY” AS “INDEPENDENCE DAY” (in my earlier post) AND ALO APPRECIATE HIS GUIDANCE AND ENCOURAGEMENT WHICH I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING FROM TIME TO TIME.

THE NAGPUR TEMPERATURE (MIN) IS LIKELY TO REMAIN IN THE RANGE OF 8(-1/+2) DEG CEL AND THE WIND CHILL FACTOR WILL CONTINUE DUE TO GROUND WIND SPEED IN THE RANGE OF 12-15 Kmph, THUS GIVING A FEEL OF STILL LOWER TEMPS.

NAGPUR WEATHER OUTLOOK for the WEEK from 04th JAN 2012

THE NAGPUR WEATHER WILL BE MORE OR LESS STABLE IN THE COMMING WEEK FROM 04th JAN 2012 WITH A DECRESING TREND IN THE MINIMUM TEMP. ALTHOUGH SOME CLOUDS MAY MAKE THEIR PRESENCE OVER THE NAGPUR SKIES AND THE LIFTED INDEX AND TOTAL TOTALS INDICATE SOME INSTABILITY AND THE RH RAISING TO ABOUT 90% THE POSSIBILITY OF ONE OR TWO DROPS HERE AND THERE ON 04th JAN (EVE) CANNOT BE RULED OUT. THE ZERO DEG ISOTHERM FALLS BY ABOUT 50mb ACROSS THE WEEK SUGGESTS A STEEP FALL OF ABOUT 2.5 DEG CEL ON 08th JAN 2012 AND THE MIN TEMPS WILL BE 15 (+1/-1.5) deg cel. THE MAX TEMP WILL ALSO REGISTER A FALL OF ABOUT 05(-2.0/+2.0)DEG CEL THROUGH THE WEEK AND WILL BE IN THE RANGE OF 29 DEG CEL TO 24 DEG CEL. THE WIND CHILL FACTOR WILL CONTINUE TO GIVE A FEEL OF WINTER BEING PRESENT AND GRADUAL RISE OF GROUND WIND FROM 02Kmph TO 16 Kmph ACROSS THE WEEK WILL MAKE THE WINTER ‘PINK’.
