Bombogenesis
This post by Philadelphia meteorologist John Bolaris caught our eye: "Old Man Winter to drop bombogenesis."It led us to a 2010 piece by Weather Channel meteorologist Stu Ostro, who wrote that though he "couldn't find 'bombogenesis' in the [American Meteorological Society] glossary, [it's] a term commonly used by meteorologists."So what is it?Well, as Bolaris says, it's a "rapidly intensifying storm." The conditions that set one off: According to WeatherPrediction.com, "bombogenesis typically occurs between a cold continental air mass and warm ocean waters or between a cold polar air mass and a much warmer air mass."Those air masses mix together to form an "extratropical surface cyclone" — or, as in this case, a "bomb" of a storm.
rather than boost their vocabulary and intellect the republicans choose to dismiss the words as just thought up and deny the science, my view hasn't changed either, i think they are so reticent and denying global warming is because it is based on man made pollution, which they would have no leg to stand on to deny regulation of fossil fuels oil, coal, nat. gas you know where all the money not in overseas banks is, regulation will put a dip in their bottom line.
Cyclones, as we've said, are "rotating storms spawned in the tropics." An "extratropical cyclone," though, has cold air at its core and can form over land or water, as The Weather Underground says. Bombogenesis also draws its name from another weather term — cyclogenesis — which is basically a fancy word for a cyclone's origin.This bombogenesis blather comes, of course, because of what's expected to happen today from the mid-Atlantic up into New England. There's going to be "moderate to locally heavy snow from the central Appalachians to southern New England, including all of the Mid-Atlantic region," the National Weather Service says. The storm — and the "bomb" — is being fueled by another blast of cold air from the north that's running into warmer air coming up from the south.
those who choose to believe the republicans are at risk for not being prepared and for contributing, they say ignorance is no excuse for stupidity.
