Description
There was a heavy rain squall just west of Singleton. The cloud structure was very interesting and I needed to record it in oils. The rain was falling with the momentum provided by the northwesterly winds. The boundary layer of the atmosphere was quite unstable. The energy in these convective cells is actually quite incredible and is what I wished to capture in the oils. The weather is always inspirational.
The energy in the atmosphere is increasing with the rising global temperatures. It is not just the heat but also the increasing amount of moisture in the atmosphere that provides the energetics for these cells and much more. The change of state of this atmospheric water adds to the weather energy budget. This atmospheric energy budget is going into a huge surplus.
I worked on a module for COMET around 2009 that described the details of "atmospheric rivers". That term has entered the public lexicon as a result of recent weather events around the globe but most notably in British Columbia. The November flooding in British Columbia was the number two weather event of Canada's top 10 weather stories in 2021 and those stories made "atmospheric rivers" a household term. That story of floods and devastation was only surpassed by "Record heat under the Dome" when British Columbia baked and set new heat records during the summer. These top two stories were followed by Number 3 "Canada dry coast to coast" and Number 4 "Wildfire season – early, active and unrelenting". Sadly, the climate is changing and it is because of the actions of mankind.
