Recent news reported heat waves in Europe that caused record high temperatures.

A heat dome in the eastern United States also caused record high temperatures.

Another heat dome is currently upon the western United States, which is also causing record high temperatures.

While heat domes over a large area are relatively stable for a short period of time, atmospheric rivers move at a fast rate over an expanse of a region.

Climate science is a complex field of study that attempts to explain these phenomena.

It becomes easier to understand the climate crisis by studying if these phenomena are in phase or out of phase of natural variability, which has a periodic pattern.

Unlike natural variability, the climate crisis has an abnormal pattern.

I attempted to attribute climate change to natural variability and manmade causes in the course of studying its impact on water resources. This endeavor has led to uncovering the predictability of meteorological variability.

Two peer reviewed journal papers, one published in the U.S. and the other published in the U.K., have come out of the academic exercise.

Interested researchers who have the resources to continue this academic exercise may find these peer reviewed journal papers, which are linked below, helpful.
