Extreme Events
1. Would it remain feasible to include the concept of Blocking Systems (long-lasting, quasi-stationary and self-sustaining tropospheric flow patterns that are associated with a large meridional flow component) – by the existing climate models – that characterizes their onset and decay phases (evolving from a more zonal to a more meridional flow pattern), despite, blocking systems essentially remain to be characterized @ various spatial and temporal scales?
Or
To what extent, the current weather predictions have been affected by these blocking systems, towards forecasting the surface weather extremes?
2. What is to be understood from wave breaking leading to a similar meridional dipole structures, irrespective of taking either cyclonic form or anticyclonic form?
3. Why does Omega blocks rarely occur over Asian region?
4. Can’t we expect amplified ridges @ higher altitudes?
5. Why is it so complex to identify the exact location of the blocking system?
6. Why is it so difficult to deduce the exact location of extreme weather events, despite the occurrence of blocking systems over both oceans and land masses?
7. How does the same blocking system able to cause different surface extremes at different locations?
