More Weather

Something has bothered me for long time. Well... many things have bothered me for a long time, but here is one of the minor ones: Do the pressure systems (highs and lows) push the Jet Stream, or does the Jet Stream push the weather systems? If the Jet Stream pushes the weather systems, what pushes the Jet Stream? Merry Christmas Charlie

Here a better explanation as to why your experiencing what you are. Another contributing factor is the both the temperature and proximity to the coastline of the gulf stream. So in effect, while meterologicaly it may be referenced to as sourced from Canada it really has little to do with national boundaries.

Mostly the Coriolis effect, I think. Mike Kennedy On Dec 23, 2010, at 4:54 PM, Husar, Charlie [USA] wrote: > Something has bothered me for long time.

Jet Streams? Shucks! I thought it was from all those big jets flying around the globe. The other amazing thing is, it only takes you an hour to fly from the East coast to the West Coast, but when you fly the other way, from West to East or left to right, it takes eight hours, although you do it in less flying time. It's a puzzlement. Plus, you'd think there'd be just about as many jets flying in both directions, unless they are taking a short cut to China, through the side of a mountain, like I once did with a Hang Glider at Parker Mountain in the Antelope Valley. My neck and back still hurt. Jerry PS: Arrggh! On top of that, The sky is blue-here in Santa Monica- and there is a gentle breeze. It's a perfect day to go sailing. See you later. --- On Fri, 12/24/10, Michael Kennedy <mi… [at] mac.com> wrote: From: Michael Kennedy <mi… [at] mac.com> Subject: Re: [Cal_Boats] More Weather To: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com Date: Friday, December 24, 2010, 9:48 AM Mostly the Coriolis effect, I think.

Jerry, I love the flow (is that the right word?) of your thoughts. I just saw a headline that might apply to your selection of topic(s): "World's Largest Neutrino Detector Completed at South Pole" Merry Christmas to You!

Hello Cal Boat List, Just a shout out to everyone to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. Very best wishes for you and your families to have many wonderful boat trips and/or races in 2011. Keep those wonderful Cals on the water. As Chris (Kringle) always says, Time on the water on a sailboat will bring joy to you and yours and help chase away the day to day blues. Good Boating in 2011. Don Dutton, 1986 Cal 33-2, "Quantum Evolution" "Twenty Years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the things you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." ........Mark Twain
