Latent Heat & Global Warming

[redpoint5]

I'd say humidity is "medium" during hot summer weather in Oregon. Not nice and dry like AZ heat, but also less intense. Also not as oppressive as, say, Orlando, where I can sweat to death in 80 degrees.

As we rolled to a stop at Danang in August, 1972, the captain remarked over the intercom that the heat index was 132-F.
I thought my knees would buckle as I stepped off the plane. And except for monsoon, we worked half-naked for the year. Never dry.
That's probably the most intense I've experienced.

Myself as well. I still recall when they opened that door. We got used to damp clothes, I worked in Civil Affairs.

At the moment, at the airport it's

Visibility: 10 mi
Pressure: 30.01 "Hg
Humidity: 90%
Dew Point: 42 °F

Generally, it's a Marine climate that has bee tempered by the Coast Range.

I posted this at the Aerodynamics Forum for those who will attempt pressure measurements, as they must reduced all their data to, Society of Automotive Engineers 'Standard Atmosphere'.
The data summary also contains all the Heat Index data for entire regions, 24-hours a day, for four days, on a running basis, to get a handle on 'Real Feel' temperatures people are experiencing.

There is an opportunity to integrate the data stream into Scangauge/Torque Pro type software.

As long as the test session fell in between the hourly NOAA 'updates', it would be great.
AeroDyn Wind Tunnel offers a 124-channel sampling bundle capability, for isobaric contour mapping, as Ohtani et al would have used when mapping the Datsun ( NISSAN ) 240-Z back in 1972 ( Figure 4.89, page 173, Aerodynamics of Road Vehicles, 2nd-Edition, Wolf H. Hucho ).
Since all the channels are captured simultaneously, there's no risk of meteorological drift, as we might experience during on-road testing.
In olden days, NASA might have a camera photograph a hundred u-tube manometers simultaneously to capture some pressure or velocity profile.

It's summer, so weather and feelings are climate.

I'm done here. Close it down if you like.

I fortold this day would come.
When this guy says it's over then you know it's over.
