I would not mention the mathematical limit of the model if I were him.

Think we're going to break some records and push climate models in exciting (horrifying) new directions?

[-] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 33 points 9 months ago

The further we push outside of the climate envelope where all our record keeping happened, the less the models are going to predict. We're headed for a world of weather phenomena that literally no human has ever experienced.

born too soon to explore space

born too late to explore the world

born just in time to experience knife hail

Got me out here googling "knife hail" like it's a real thing

it's all but inevitable at this point

I just don't have any confidence that the mathematical models of what is possible are accurate. We should plan for worse.

in all seriousness uhhhhh please don't die everybody

would be awkward if it went over the limit, then he'll be reminded that he was wrong by 2 of 3 people 5 years later because the Twitter notification algorithm thought it was important that he sees it for some reason

Looking at the comments (a mistake I know) and wow climate change denial is really going in an interesting direction. It's gotten so bad that like half of them no longer deny the climate is changing, instead they claim it's part of some globalist geoengineering conspiracy lmao

My mother can somehow hold the thoughts that "only God can change the climate" and "Jewish HAARP lasers are being used to kill Republicans" in her head at the same time.

You could probably turn her payche into a fusion reactor.

holy moly stay safe out there comrades

This hurricane is nearing the mathematical limit of what Earth's atmosphere over this ocean water can produce.

You eggheads and your "math" underestimate what true american grit can pull off, pardner the-republican

Dying due to horrible climate events is already bad, why does it have to be called Milton for fuck sakes

The smaller the eye, the stronger the wind?

The best I could find with some research was the Dvorak Technique used to measure cyclone intensity from visible and infrared images.

Also from Wikipedia:

While typical mature storms have eyes that are a few dozen miles across, rapidly intensifyingstorms can develop an extremely small, clear, and circular eye, sometimes referred to as a pinhole eye. Storms with pinhole eyes are prone to large fluctuations in intensity, and provide difficulties and frustrations for forecasters.[7]

Lastly I would guess it has to do with plain angular momentum. A cyclone that contracts will spin faster, if angular momentum is constant, in the same way that a figure skater speeds up when they tuck in their arms.

Yay, we finally reap the rewards!

/s because we have been for a while now, just exponential fuckery and all...

China/Vietnam had two this summer that were both bigger than this

[-] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 9 months ago

Well the good thing is that it mathematically cant get any worse!

[-] Sasquatch@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Can't get *much* worse
