InternetJeff Astyanax By Monday Erin will be more than halfway to Ireland. It will be interesting if that will be a repeat of the 1961 storm, posted upthread. 🌀 Also, still projected to be a hurricane almost to 45°N.
InternetJeff Just watched some talking head go on about how Erin has sucked up a bunch of heat and caused cooler waters to rise in its wake, spelling less fuel for a follow-on hurricane.
Somewhat-Reticent InternetJeff caused cooler waters to rise Does this raise nutrients from the seabed?
egeezer Somewhat-Reticent A nice article with a bit of humour; https://substack.com/home/post/p-171509966

I’ve heard that before. It makes sense to me. Is it actually true? But they never mention how long takes for the water to get back to normal temperature, which determines whether the next storm that comes through the area will be fueling up on warm or cool water.
Beachie The Meteorologist I trust had this to say at the 11am update Rule #7 is “Stop freaking out….until I tell you to. We’re fine.” It’s also a local craft beer.

InternetJeff egeezer We should not be so ready to cry quite yet. See; https://www.whoi.edu/ocean-learning-hub/ocean-facts/hurricanes/ That’s interesting. But looking at the graphic on that page, one could predict either the strengthening or the weakening of a storm and claim to have been “right” after the fact.
