Winter 2020 breaks 8 Omicron circulation cycle

~Major circulation pattern forces in a distinct climate result for spring summer 2020

~Similar in nature to spring summer 2019 weather

~Implying lots of rain,  as if it will be a surprise for Midwest North America and NW Europe

~8 Omicron pattern was noticed especially after 2012

~2020 breaks the cycle namely for Alaska-CCA-Midwest N.A. and NW Europe 2019 weather

 Introducing the 8 Omicron Arctic Polar Vortex pattern,  pay attention to 2012-13,  2014-15, 2016-17, 2018-19 morphology or the shape of the Vortex perimeter:

   8 Omicron mid-winter circulation pattern, 8 in shape for 2012, 14, 16 and 18, Omicron pattern 2013, 15,17, 19 and 20. From NOAA daily composites 600 mb temperatures (600 mb is the pressure level representing the average temperature of the entire atmosphere, 248 Kelvin, -25 C,  is where the Northernmost  jet stream can most likely exist).   It is a Ying Yang cycle, largely caused by gradual warming Oceans and Arctic sea ice minima melts and maximum reformation (cousin of warming oceans), especially considering lost sea ice volumes as the years went by.   Big news:  2019 2020 Vortex periphery  looks similar to each other,  despite 2019 being a significant melt summer.  I suggest the latest 2020 pattern is due to CTNP consolidating Northwards,  because the Vortex is getting smaller year by year.  This latest Omicron Omicron 2019-2020 vortex pattern,  infers 2020 being much like 2019,  except for Alaska being colder and being largely within the Vortex (colder) , not as it was largely out (warmer) every winter since 2012.  Refraction optical method monitoring the Western Canadian Arctic Archipelago should indicate how unique or split in two the Cold Temperature North Pole (s) will be.

     Meantime,  your wet soggy weather can be largely attributed to Omicron pattern whipping ocean air  straight onto the Western continental coasts,  as opposed to 8 shapes seasons diverting the Eastern oceans moistures and warmth Northwards.   Early prognosis for 2020:  hope you the enjoy more rain if you are East and West coasters,  the Ying and Yang of moisture,  mainly a consistent Pacific flow  joining the Atlantic Gulf stream making dry spots only within central continents  ....  WD February 21, 2020

Now that is strange, really different Arctic circulation patterns countinue

~Winter 2019-20 High Arctic circulation sharply deviates from preceding 8 years
~It means the sea icescape,  despite extent gains,  is really different

  February 11, 2020 NOAA animation loop courtesy CMC.    Yes a Cyclone from the Atlantic is heading to the Pacific straight from East to West.  Because the CTNP,  the North American Cold Temperature North Pole vortice is well South of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago.   Is quite warm over Ellesmere Island at present compared to further South.  Even though Ellesmere is still plunged in 24 hour darkness.   All in all, 19-20 winter is no recent year pattern repeat.  This feature announces more strangeness to come.  WD Feb 11,2020 

Spectacular Surface Cyclone with no clouds was really a CTNP vortice

~ Arctic Winter 2019-2020 has a smaller Polar Vortex with many Polar vortices, with centers West of CAA, NE Siberia and even Alaska

~The Western Canadian Arctic Archipelago Cold Temperature North Pole vortice was quite spectacular:

  At times defined as a Low or High surface pressure, the extreme white Zone at the Western shores of Arctic Archipelago was the long lasting CTNP vortice of this region.  Where surface temperatures have easily attained near -45 C.  This is a continuance of smaller Polar Vortex geophysics.  CMC January 29-30  2020 IR loop portray the simultaneous encroachment of much warmer clouds moving quite fast while appearing being pulled around extreme cold air.   The combination of many vortices within the smaller in extent Polar Vortex created mainly above normal temperatures in populated areas of the Northern Hemisphere with the occasional spike of cold freakish weather as a result from rogue vortices,  which have been triggered by strong moving Northwards cyclones elongating the P.V. Southwards .  WD February 1, 2020
