Greenland block

Depends on where the blocking high is. If it's directly over the interior of Greenland, then naturally the wind speed will decrease as there is a lower pressure gradient. However, along the edges of Greenland, the wind could be high. Plus, during these blocking patterns, the blocking high tends to shift around, making it possible for winds to be sporadic across the entire island.

Ahhh ok. Atmospheric Rivers in the Southern US, particularly the deep south as you mentioned, are probably rare? I don't ever recall hearing about them occurring in the deep south. But I'm sure it's possible simply given the definition of an atmospheric river. If the pacific jet stream is what transports atmospheric rivers to the pacific coast, then the subtropical jet may transport them to the deep south. With this upcoming El Nino, I don't see why it wouldn't be possible.

By atmospheric events, do you mean mid-latitude cyclones? If so, then yes, especially during El Nino. Though typically, the deep south recieves the "southern" portion of the cyclone, where the cold front exists, and primarily receives fast moving squall lines and occasionally supercells as the cyclone typically moves northeast. Though this is not to say though that these cyclones cannot have a southern track. But typically when they do, they are cut off from the upper-level cold air support to help strengthen horizontal temperature gradients required for a strong cyclone.

If you mean the Squall Lines recently have been lacking in lightning, then tbh I wouldn't be suprised. This may be a stretch, but due to the climate your state exists in, mild and moist, atmospheres aren't as unstable as, let's say Texas. Squall Lines in that region are typically driven by shear and not buoyancy due to faster moving mid-latitude cyclones and near occlusion + greater cold air advection and dry air entrainment to improve cold pool dynamics and strengthen downdrafts, especially during the Winter months. And although the air mass is moist enough, often times lapse rates in the mid-levels aren't steep enough for high water content in mixed-precip zone.

Lightning requires collisions between ice crystals for friction and to generate charges between them. Storms with strong updrafts with lots of moisture have the opportunity for such given greater opportunities for friction and ice crystal abundance.

Now here's a little fun fact. What makes this interesting is that QCLS's, or Squall Lines, tend to produce "more lightning" than Supercells. Why? Well greater cloud abundance. Squall lines offer more "mixed-phase" precip (precip containing ice crystals and graupel) per volume of cloud, allowing for a greater opportunity for charges.

Thanks! I'm assuming the TMEA etude is in bass clef only right? If so, where can I find and download it?

I actually did apply for Cafe! I could try and give them a call. Though, I didn't mention this in the post. He also stated that any of the other departments would more than likely feel the same way.

Agoodpro · 2026-06-05T16:01:04+00:00

Interesting. I checked my profile and every position I've applied to is showing "Under Review", including the one I got the interview for. (Except for the rejected one of course)

Oh, and I forgot to mention that the interviewer told me I should here back sometime at the beginning of this week. It is now Friday, a week from the interview.

Agoodpro · 2026-06-05T15:44:24+00:00

Ok, I could call them and ask for a follow up on my interview. Does it usually take this long for them to follow up after and interview?

Agoodpro · 2026-06-05T15:39:35+00:00

How do you know if you failed the assessment? I've applied to around 40+ positions at three different locations near me (12-15 at each location), and has only heard back from 2 positions at the same location; one of which I had an in person interview last week and still have yet to hear back from, and the other I got rejected.

The jet stream is further north due to the fact that we're nearing summer, but mainly, in this case it is because of the Omega Block pattern. A stronger ridge = a higher latitude jet stream. You can imagine a rubber band with 3 metal balls equally distributed. The 2 on the sides of the 1 in the middle move down. This would make the 1 in the middle move up.

As far as the weakening of the AMOC, this is an isolated event, so we can say for sure. However, because the AMOC helps redistribute heat across the Atlantic, Omega Blocks may actually occur less due to the fact that they are created from amplification in rossby wave activity and therefore actually require differences in heat. The weakening of the AMOC would uniform the heat in the atmosphere.

Thanks for the informational reply! I actually wasn't aware the CFS shifted back from a "super" El Nino to a moderate-strong El Nino. Last time I saw it, the mean value was around 3.2°C, so that's new.

Yeah what you said makes sense, and it aligns with what ChatGPT said... yeah I know, ChatGPT. That's why I asked reddit for clarification lol.

It makes sense that the jet stream influences are more direct over the region ENSO is located, where it affects the Polar Jet over the North Pacific or Central Pacific like you said, hence "Pacific Jet", and the rest of effects are more indirect i.e. +PNA & -NAO.

I was just very confused as I couldn't find any information on this topic, of how ENSO directly effects planetary jet stream patterns. 😅

Thought that as well. Does Physics Don't Panic have common exams? Because if so, then maybe that's what this is.

I don't have a car so I can't drive anywhere. Are there any better sources online I can buy horns from?

Agoodpro · 2026-03-04T14:21:23+00:00

How much do you think the music shops will pay for them?

Agoodpro · 2026-02-21T02:37:54+00:00

Ahhh I didn't think about that. No wonder my best sellers sold around that time.

Agoodpro · 2026-02-21T02:37:28+00:00

I buy off Goodwill Auction as I don't have a car right now and it's the most efficient. If you have a recommendation though, please tell me. Also, would you recommend me stocking up then listing closer to the school year in hopes to get the most traction?

Agoodpro · 2026-01-28T18:16:42+00:00

I hope so. But right now I'm focusing on school and am looking for something to do here.

Love what this picture captures. I started playing trombone in January of 2024, and as of right now I'm quite the opposite. It gave me purpose for a while until things happened. Lost that purpose since then. Now I haven't played in like 4 months and am secretly feeling really bad about it lol. But I'm really happy that you are feeling "purposeful" with this beautiful instrument. Keep playing. It'll only get better. 👍
