Also a beginner myself but if the 384 charts did verify, (although deep FI, stratosphere is less chaotic to model as the trop so less prone to dramatic run to run swings as i understand it), then these charts look decent to me, im sure chiono will put us right soon and start the new thread almost certainly by the end of Oct and probably earlier, was just going to check the ECM strat forecasts but the site not working, here it is for future reference though, it updates very early each morning,

The problem with those meteociel is you cannot tell exactly what damage any warming has done to the stratospheric vortex though because they only show temperature and don't show heights.

 

There is a site which shows GFS stratosphere heights right the way down from the very top (1hpa) to 100hpa but cannot remember it, that will be the one you need as we go into winter, someone will post it im sure.

 

there seems to be more showing at 30hpa than 10hpa so maybe something working its way up?

Hopefully, lets hope all the sites are working soon and chiono comes back on to give us the expert opinion, from what i can see it looks good but chiono only starts usually posting regular at the end of October so we will wait and see.

The core very much to the east all the way up to 5mb.

Its only when you go to the very top that its in a really tragic position.

BUT. If you look at the chart for  84hrs later, displacement in process,

These are only forecasts though and also i cannot help thinking that if it was really fantastic news that more knowledgeable people would be posting so best to wait for now.

Nice to see Wave 1 Activity present and ridges popping up throughout the day to day runs, currently the NW Pacific and Alaskan Ridge doing the business here.

 

Brought this paper to mind which is relevant, lifted from the teleconnection paper thread, another feedback to consider and look out for.

Great illustration coming up of what the NW Pacific/Alaskan ridge (generally leading to the GP-made-famous Aleutian low) does in terms of driving Wave 1 Activity through the stratosphere:

Watch out for the Alaskan Ridge/Aleutian Low combination to help drive Wave 1 activity (which in turn often leads to a displacement of the core of the vortex away from the pole), and then some form of Scandinavian/Siberian high to help drive Wave 2 (which often helps to create a split vortex). Last year we were lucky enough to see alternating phases of Wave 1 and Wave 2 activity eventually leading to the decimation of the vortex.

Its been a while and I have nothing but good memories on this topic from last season. Posted Image Cant wait for the new debates to really kick off in the new thread. Posted Image

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Great post, I hope it isn't lost 'in last years thread'

 

 

Are we not over due a new 2013/14 thread ?

I must agree with this too, given the activity that is kicking off may well have some bearing on how things pan out as we move towards the wintry months (and I'll include November in that just in case).  I don't know how easy it is to copy across some of the specialist and very helpful and informative posts by the likes of Chio, Recretos, snowking, Interitus, SM and a few others (those who read this thread know who I mean!) for this season 2013/14, but that would be a good start so that we have a good base of info for the current set-up moving onwards.  Keep up this great work!
