Vortices are the Pressure Relief Valves of the Atmosphere

Alan Thorpe:
Is this really correct? Winds are determined by pressure and they go from high pressure to low pressure. Warm air rises causing low pressure, so winds go from cold to hot.
You ask a good question and I'm the right person to answer it. I am the #1 expert in the world on the question surrounding atmospheric flow and storms.
In general this article by Floor Anthoni (is this a real name?) is highly accurate. For example the points entitled "Important Points" is spot on! The high heat capacity of the liquid water in the oceans, on land, and in the air (note: all of the H2O in the atmosphere is liquid vapor H2O, not gaseous H2O) provides the temperature moderation function on our planet.
But the author also harbors many of the misconceptions that have been promoted by the pseudoscientific institution of meteorology. (Meteorology is a conversational science that evolved along the lines of telling the public stories that fit anecdotal observations. It is not an empirical science.)
Are winds determined by pressure differentials. Well, yes and no. Obviously its not simply a matter of pressure differential causing winds. Because if it was this simple there would be no gusty winds and no highly focused streams, like jet streams. Instead there would be only droll, constant winds. So, what causes the gusty, focused winds? The answer is vortices.
Vortices are the pressure relief valves of the atmosphere. You see, without vortices differences of pressure would be much greater on this planet due to the fact that gases alone cannot stream. Streaming requires structure to isolate the flow of the stream from the natural friction and dispersion associated with the gases. Sheaths of vortices literally spin up on wind shear boundaries in the atmosphere. In other words, when you see a tornado you are seeing something that is more than just N2, O2, H2O and trace elements. The "more" you are seeing is a consequence of H2O nanodroplets spinning up on wind shear boundaries. Specifically, the surface tension of the H2O is maximized under wind shear conditions to produce a plasma of surface-tension-maximized H2O. And it is this plasma that forms the sheaths of vortices, including tornadoes. This plasma isolates the flow and provides a slick inner surface, allowing winds to accelerate up to 300 mph.
Meteorology is replete with all kinds of pseudoscientific notions intended to placate the public by appealing to the lowest common denominator of our anecdotal perceptions. It is a conversation. It is not real science. The diatribe of conversational BS that emanates from their collective orifices should be ignored. They are not seeking empirical truth they are seeking a consensus to drown out the observations that they have systematically failed to explain.
Vortices are not simple or obvious. Us humans usually only notice vortices when they are in their last stage of existence, under low pressure conditions of a storm. At this stage it is the residual momentum of the greater vortices that is causing the storm and gusty, low pressure winds. It is this momentum of vortices that throws off our perception. Anecdotally it seems as if vortices are a residual consequence of what ever is the larger cause of storms. But, in actuality, vortices are the cause of storms and their low pressure gusty winds.
"Warm air rises causing low pressure, so winds go from cold to hot."
No. This is nonsense. Convection is meteorological pseudoscience. Warmer air is usually wetter air. And wetter air is ALWAYS heavier (not lighter) than drier air. (So, the only place warm air rises is in deserts.) (This is because wetter air contains more nanodroplets of liquid H2O. There is zero gaseous H2O in earth's atmosphere. Only idiots believe this propaganda.)
Vortices high in the troposphere produce 99 percent of the uplift that is witnessed on this planet and in storms. Convection is almost completely nonoperational in earth's atmosphere. Ignore meteorologists. They are brain-dead propagandists–scientifically incompetent.
Trust me, I am the #1 expert on atmospheric flow and storms. Meteorologists are just pretenders whose only goal is to overwhelm you with vague, meaningless rhetoric.

What You Never Suspected About Water in the Atmosphere
jerry krause:
Alan, what you overlook is that the vertical convection of a thunderstorm creates a high pressure region at high altitude over the low pressure region at the surface of the tropics. And that the colder surfaces at the higher latitudes create high pressure regions at the earth's land surface, so there is the generally surface atmospheric flow from the high pressure regions at higher latitudes toward the tropics. So at high altitude the atmospheric flow is from high pressure regions to low pressure regions and the same is true for the surface atmosphere flow.
What commonly overlooked is that above low pressure at the surface is high pressure near the top of the troposphere or vice versa.
So, Floor's post alerts us to "climate often works contrary to intuition" if we do not observe everything which we should.
James McGinn
Jerry, your explanaion is nonsense. The uplift in thunderstorms is caused by the low pressure that is being introduced by vortices above that are channeling the low pressure energy of the jet stream. Convection does not (and cannot) cause low pressure at lower altitudes. This is a desperately silly thing to believe. You are just spreading the propaganda produced by the meteorology lobby.
What commonly overlooked is that above low pressure at the surface is high pressure near the top of the troposphere or vice versa.
Surreal. You are just making this up. You have no clue, Jerry.
So, Floor's post alerts us to "climate often works contrary to intuition" if we do not observe everything which we should.
No, Jerry. You are just demonstrating that you are gullible and foolish. Storms are counterintuitive because we don't understand the full lifecycle of a vortices and, therefore, we don't realize that we only observe the final stage of a vortices existence, which often occurs closer to the ground.
Convective notions of storms are cartoons, the basis of which is an analogy to a pot boiling on a stove. Science involves empirical facts not unrestrained imagination and convenient analogies.
Why Storms are Wet.
Alan Thorpe:
What about the theory of a cold front? This is warm air rising over cold air and the moisture in the warm air condensing as it rises, bringing rain.
LOL. This isn't a theory. Meteorologists don't do theory. They just make conversational conjectures based on vague notions that they've never measured or tested.
Remember, meteorology is not a real science. It is not empirical. It is conversational. They are story tellers, artists. They are not scientists. They don't measure or test any of this.
My model explains the physics of HEAVIER warm, moist air rising, cooling (due to lower pressure) and causing rain. I already explained this to you in the previous post. Read it again. Vortices connected to the greater jet stream cause low pressure above and this causes uplift of HEAVIER moist air to rise and cool as its pressure drops.
Vortices grow into flat boundaries between moist air and dry air. Sometimes, when the boundary extends all the way to the ground the vortices will grow down along the boundary to the ground, causing a tornado.
Convection is a dull-witted model that fails to explain the existence of vortices. Convection models of storms and atmospheric flow appeal to the lowest common denominator of brain-dead science consumers. People believe it because people are generally stupid and gullible and will believe anything that doesn't make them think.
Besides, one has to about be retarded to believe that warm air rising will cause the high energy, gusty cold winds of storms. The fact that this absurd notion is so widely believed shows how plainly gullible and dumb is the public.
It's Not What You Know That Will Hurt You . . .

(Why does he write this in English? Megalomania? Or just a way to share thoughts with international friends and followers? Well, that depends on your view on me as a person I guess)
2014 was the year when I took the step from unknown open mic-comedian to unknown semi-pro. I didn't really have a choice: it was either develop my act or quit. So I just dived in – 100 percent. Regrets? Well, it is a bit late for that.
Of course there has been a few ups and downs, but there is no point in wasting energy on the negatives. 2014 was the year I started to focus more on myself and not letting others steal my energy. There's just so many times you can hit the wall and survive.
There are quite a few persons I have become even more friend with during 2014, and I feel so much better focusing on them instead. Positive energy is so much better for the development and health.
So these are my standup-related highlights – 2014 in retrospect.
GASTA in Gävle
One of my favourite clubs in Sweden has always been there for me, and in 2014 I finally got my first paid support gig there. To me it was a receipt that I had reached the level of "good" comedian. I love Gasta and the Gasta crew, so this was one of my greatest moments in 2014.
London i March
4 gigs in three days. My first 15-minutes gig in English. And the fact that the audience laughed a lot and wiped their tears and gave me applauces … for and old man with a childish dream – to make people laugh and get away with it.
It was such a fantastic moment. I'll never be a "known" comedian, but at least I now know that I can be funny in two languages.
MACK in Malmö
Also a bunch of great people, running a great club. In 2014 I got the chance to perform there three times (2 in Malmö and 1 in Lund). At first I was quite nervous since the club has a good reputation and I am (still) a nobody. But the welcome I got from the staff made me feel more or less at home. And the gigs went very well.
MY OWN CLUBS, in Stockholm, Kalmar, Jönköping and Alingsås
I learnt a lot from it. Both as comedian and as a clubowner. Things I have with me in to 2015 even if I won't run any clubs. We will do one or two venues, but focus in 2015 will be on my own standup.
I ran these with the help of my daughter Jasmine. A big thanks to her, without her assistance I would probably have had serious health issues due to stress.
TICK, Gothenburgh
As always a very fun club to appear at. My favourite open mic, and a club I will always want to perform at if they want me.
This year I did my show Swedish Oddballs. As always with these Free Fringe shows off-off the main streets the crowds weren't huge, but I never had to cancel. And some people from the comedy industry – comedians aswell as clubowners – saw my show and said they liked it. Made a few new contacts that will develop into interresting things in 2015.
I also was invited to do some other gigs, among others one "favourites"-gig at St Marys and two similar at We Love Comedy. The guy that runs We Love Comedy – Sean Brightman – seems to like my comedy. He always makes me feel welcome and much better than I think I am. Good for my self-esteem to work with people with such positive energy.
One of – if not THE most respected club in Sweden became aware of me and invited me for a gig. They liked what they saw, and invited me again. And after these two shorter gigs I am now invited to do a 15 minutes set in January. To me this is a great feeling, since I see it as a proof that my comedy – which is a bit different from most Swedish acts – is becoming more and more accepted by people who count.
Some people have ment a lot to me in 2014
Especially I want to mention Manolis Zontanos, my Canadian Comedy friend. We seldom meet but have a comedy friendship that spans across the Atlantic. Always positive, always has som friendly words.
Sean Brightman, Clara Heimy, to great clubowners and comedy friends. Kate Smurthwaite, who takes the time for an old Swede even though she is quite busy. Three good UK friends that I really like to work with. Paul Foot – who even though he is charging on towards fame and stardom always takes the time for a cup of tea or a pie with an old friend. And back home in Sweden people like Hans Carstensen, Gerda Bylund and the Betnér brothers have given me energy to keep on when everything has been dark and hopeless.
So thank you all – clubs and comedians – and let's make 2015 an even better year for standup.
/Tomas A

text: Dustin Johnson & Paulina Gretzky: A Love Story\nA look back at the fun and eventful moments in the relationship of Dustin Johnson and Paulina Gretzky, golf's most-photographed couple.\nVideo: Behind The Scenes With Paulina Gretzky\nPaulina first appeared in DJ's gallery at the 2013 PGA Tour opener in Hawaii. Sparks flew, DJ won, and the rest was history. There was a slight controversy when DJ withdrew the next week with "the flu," but they never let that -- or anything -- put a damper on their fun. . .\nHere, Dustin and Paulina enjoy drinks at the pool. Note: This was a recurring theme in 2013.\nLike we said. . .\nAnother recurring theme with these two? PDA. Here, they kiss at DJ's birthday celebration in June 2013.\nAnd here's some PDA on a boat.\nPDA in a car.\nPDA at a club.\nPDA at an outdoor club.\nPDA with other couples at a club.\nMore PDA on a boat.\nAnd another. Can you rack up frequent boating miles?\nSpeaking of racking up miles, these two lovebirds don't fly commercial very often.\nIn January 2013, DJ dined with his future in-laws, hockey legend Wayne Gretzky and Janet Jones. DJ and "The Great One" bonded further when they played together at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.\nAnd don't forget about Austin! DJ's brother -- and his caddie -- is often around for the fun as well.\nThe couple also showed their love for other sports. Here, DJ and Paulina attend a Miami Heat playoff game in May 2013 and show off their team spirit.\nThen there was that South Carolina college football game in November 2013. Once again, they showed off their team pride and DJ displayed a preppy southern side by wearing loafers. When in Rome, we guess. . .\nAnd in this one, DJ and Paulina get some sun. Oh wait, sorry, that's just Paulina. . .\nIn June 2013, DJ and Paulina went to Germany and played dress up. Cute!\nWhoops. Another solo Paulina pic. How did that get in here?\nThen there was the really big news. In August 2013, the couple announced they were engaged. You know what that means, right? Engagement PDA!\nLook at the size of that rock! How many months "salary" did that set DJ back?\nThen, more big news. In November 2013, Paulina announced she would be on the cover of Maxim's December issue. In other words, she would have a collection of higher-quality bikini pics.\nAnd another one from Maxim's shoot with Paulina. Why? Because it was a BIG deal. That's why.\nDJ and Paulina shared a bike on their trip to Thailand in October 2013. Fun!\nWhile in Thailand, they also met an elephant. Don't get jealous, Austin!\nIn November 2013, DJ got back into the winner's circle at the WGC-HSBC Champions in Shanghai. The two celebrated with a victory kiss -- their first as an engaged couple. History!\nLater that month, DJ and Paulina attended the AMAs together and Paulina handed out an award to Justin Timberlake. You know, because she's really big in the music industry. Timberlake then found DJ in the crowd and made a practice golf swing. Forget about the engagement, this was the real highlight of the year!\nIn February 2014, Paulina exhibited a surprisingly good golf swing. Either she inherited a lot of athletic ability from her father or DJ should have gotten more consideration for PGA Teacher of the Year.\nIn September 2014, Paulina announced she was pregnant. On Instagram. Of course.\nA couple months later, it was time for Paulina's baby shower.\nAnd on Jan. 19, 2015, the couple announced the birth of their first child, a boy named Tatum.\nLess than two months after Tatum's birth, he was on hand with his mom to watch his dad win the 2015 WGC-Cadillac Championship.\nPaulina and DJ go out for Halloween as vampires in 2015.\nPaulina put on a different outfit to cheer up DJ after he had a tough loss at the WGC-HSBC Champions in November. . . \nDJ, Paulina, and Tatum celebrated their first Christmas as a family in 2015.\nUncle Rickie joined DJ and Paulina for some New Year's festivities. \nPaulina wished DJ (And everyone on Instagram) a happy Valentine's Day in 2016.\nAdd PDA at Augusta National to the list after Paulina caddied for DJ in the Masters Par 3 Contest.\nDJ and Paulina danced on a boat in May.\nAnd we can only assume there was some more dancing from DJ, Paulina, and Tatum after Johnson's major breakthrough at the 2016 U.S. Open. \nAnd where did DJ celebrate winning his first major championship? On a boat, obviously.\nAnd then there was more celebrating on a boat. But then it was back to work. DJ had a Ryder Cup to help win. . . \nThe matches were intense, but there was still time for some serious PDA at Hazeltine. \nAnd time to celebrate, of course.\nThen the two took the party to Cabo. \nWe're not sure what DJ was for Halloween 2016, but Paulina was a gladiator. Not exactly like the ones you see in history books, but it was a nice effort.\nAs the year came to a close, DJ and Paulina posted two short music videos, including this one, set to Miley Cyrus' "Party In The USA." A fantastic and fitting tune. After all, 2016 was one big celebration for golf's player of the year -- and golf's most famous couple.\nPaulina and Tatum were on hand at Riviera to see Dustin win the 2017 Genesis Open at Riviera and take over the No. 1 spot in the Official World Golf Ranking for the first time.\nA week later, the couple got creative with the gender reveal of their second baby. That blue puff of smoke meant another boy was on the way.\nAnd in June, the world was introduced to River Jones Johnson. DJ didn't defend his title at the U.S. Open or win any major championship in 2017, but he was certainly happy to make this major addition to his family.\nAfter a mid-season lull, DJ and Paulina went to the Bahamas in August for some R&R. \nAnd the tropical vacation paid off for DJ's golf game as he returned to beat Jordan Spieth at the Northern Trust. And if anything deserves a big kiss, it was that big drive he hit on the first playoff hole to set up the winning birdie.
