Here is my weather quiz question for this week. There has been heated discussion and much research into “Global Warming.” We’ve heard of the disadvantages of the phenomenon, but what would be the “advantages” of “Global Warming?” Please remember to post your answer as a comment by clicking on “no comments /comments” in the upper right hand portion of this page under the caption, then add your comment. The first person to post the correct answer will win a week of free personalized weather forecasts tailored to your needs. The answer has to be a comment to win. An email answer will not count. Good luck.

A  high pressure ridge (Shaded “Arch” shape with blue arrows in the Gulf of Alaska and Western Canada) is far enough North to allow a low pressure area off the California coast to stay offshore or a while and then slowly slide under the ridge and move toward the Oregon coast increasing the onshore flow which will give us some more clouds and cooling temperatures. There will be a change in the weather pattern as we get into the end of the weekend and next week which will give us a chance of showers and a cold front moves in on Monday.

Sorry, no winner this week. Here’s my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What are “GOES” and what do they do? Here is the correct answer. The Geostationary Satellite system (GOES), which has satellites that match the speed of the rotation of the Earth so they can stay in one place looking down at specific areas of the planet, are operated by the United States National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS), and support weather forecasting, severe storm tracking, and meteorology research. Spacecraft and ground-based elements of the system work together to provide a continuous stream of environmental data. The National Weather Service (NWS) uses the GOES system for its United States weather monitoring and forecasting operations, and scientific researchers use the data to better understand land, atmosphere, ocean, and climate interactions. The GOES system uses geosynchronous satellites which—since the launch of SMS-1 in 1974—have been a basic element of U.S. weather monitoring and forecasting. I’ll have a new weekly weather quiz question for you starting on Monday. Please remember to post your answer as a comment by clicking on “no comments /comments” in the upper right hand portion of this page under the caption, then add your comment. The first person to post the correct answer will win a week of free personalized weather forecasts tailored to your needs. The answer has to be a comment to win. An email answer will not count.

Sorry, no winner this week. Here’s my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What are “GOES” and what do they do? Here is the correct answer. The Geostationary Satellite system (GOES), which has satellites that match the speed of the rotation of the Earth so they can stay in one place looking down at specific areas of the planet, are operated by the United States National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS), and support weather forecasting, severe storm tracking, and meteorology research. Spacecraft and ground-based elements of the system work together to provide a continuous stream of environmental data. The National Weather Service (NWS) uses the GOES system for its United States weather monitoring and forecasting operations, and scientific researchers use the data to better understand land, atmosphere, ocean, and climate interactions. The GOES system uses geosynchronous satellites which—since the launch of SMS-1 in 1974—have been a basic element of U.S. weather monitoring and forecasting. I’ll have a new weekly weather quiz question for you starting on Monday. Please remember to post your answer as a comment by clicking on “no comments /comments” in the upper right hand portion of this page under the caption, then add your comment. The first person to post the correct answer will win a week of free personalized weather forecasts tailored to your needs. The answer has to be a comment to win. An email answer will not count.
