I g...Don't know about the albedo part of it ... I googled for just a moment before posting earlier and didn't find anything useful, other than the fact that albedo varies tremendously depending on wind, which makes a lot of sense.<br /><br />I'd suggest asking him over there but his posts are usually followed by thousands of responses, and I don't think he reads them.<br /><br />Maybe Anthony Watts and Steven Goddard know ...<br /><br />(just seeing if I can get you to destroy your keyboard by splurfing coffee through your nose!)<br /><br />"Remember nobody can be an expert at something that nobody has thought about before."<br /><br />Of course! And it wouldn't surprise me if Masters has never thought of this particular aspect before the big oil spill heppened. I assume he's found some data on albedo with and without oil, but it's possible he sorta pulled that out of a lower orifice.dhogazahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13589109126483161671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524070301101240472.post-56629505500343168052010-06-05T12:31:55.366-07:002010-06-05T12:31:55.366-07:00Fair enough.

Remember ...Fair enough. What about the albedo one?<br /><br />Remember nobody can be an expert at something that nobody has thought about before. Hopefully, none of this will be put to the test.Michael Tobishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08229460438349093944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524070301101240472.post-52360095645353418312010-06-05T11:23:01.120-07:002010-06-05T11:23:01.120-07:00Jeff's studied hurricanes for a few years ...
...Jeff's studied hurricanes for a few years ...<br /><br />Let's try this idea:<br /><br />1. oil leads to warmer waters in the gulf as Jeff suggests.<br /><br />2. remembering that hurricanes form in the atlantic, not the gulf, so this doesn't impact hurricane *formation* in the least.<br /><br />3. hurricane blows into the gulf over those warmer oily waters. Storm surge preceding it mixes oil and water like crazy, and as the hurricane passes over this area where the oil is no longer lying on the surface as a slick, and therefore the drop in evaporation mentioned by Jeff is no longer happening (or is greatly reduced), it's able to feed on the energy of that warmer water with no problem.dhogazahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13589109126483161671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524070301101240472.post-12211431642553811682010-06-04T21:12:46.525-07:002010-06-04T21:12:46.525-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
