When ice sheet collapses, it also means that local ice volume decreases. That leads to more local warming. You may try this by taking out ice cubes from your drink in the summer... The buttressing effect has yet still more rapid response as flow speeds increases.
You did not mention the effect of Latent Heat of Vaporisation, but perhaps it might be a bit too deep a dive. When you have wet skin and wind blows across your skin, you feel cold. This is because the moisture on your skin is absorbing heat from your body to allow it to vapourise, and this heat removal mechanism is exaggerated by the wind. Energy cannot be unmade, so when water vapor condenses (as that moist air stream does when it is forced to rise over a mountain range and the pressure reduction and cooling induces it to rain) then that latent heat is released and warms the air. This warming adds to the heating effect you mentioned when the air is forced downward on the far side of the mountain range. We get Fohn winds in both the North and South Islands of New Zealand. Sometimes it is like standing in front of a fan-forced oven with it's door open.
@@DrGilbz Okay I googled for "silly glasses with absurdly dangling thingies that look like pointy-headed handgranades" but couldn't find it. I'm disappointed......
That energy transition you mentioned is underway. It's not fast enough for some of us, but it's happening, and I dare to think it will speed up as it progresses. I wasn't aware that Antarctica gets Chinook winds, but I suppose I shouldn't be surprised either. Thanks for a lovely factual video.
Pretty funny... you had all the garb to do your kinda Goth-hippy, but not anything better then a bic pen for a cigarette... Thanks for the video... I always had trouble describing how fohn winds work... This helped a lot...
Wow, and now I know the origin of the Italian word for "hairdryer" 😁 👍🏼 I've been wondering about it since I first learned and it's always struck me as a bit odd & misplaced. But I wasn't quite curious enough to research it. Of course, the Italicized version is: fon Which is indistinguishable from an Italian saying "phone". A bit perplexing & odd...
My main takeaways:😈 1) you visited Berlin. 2) Föhn is a German word for hairdrier, but this was not hard, in Czech (where I am from) it is kind a similar, just different spelling - fén. 3) you have the best sunglasses I have ever seen, my daughter wants them too. We have to visit Berlin. 4) you said few things about some snow & ice, but the sunglasses! Thnx for video and all information you presented!👍
I like how every little thing we learn have not only been left out of climate models but easily forseeable and "scientists" are super surprised that things like convecting warm air or water actually happens unlike the ice cube in a calm beaker they imagined represents the real world.
Wind is crazy. I got an ice cream cone in Arizona and was doing fine until the wind came and literally melted the entire top and it all dripped onto my pants and the ground in like 5 seconds. It is WILD 😂
Here in Canberra, Oz, our mean max temp over the last 16 years for August is 14c. It’s headed for 17c based on month-to-date and forecast for the next week !
I rather liked this :) In Norway, we have a lot of föhn winds, so say you have a strong weather system hitting the west coast, say Bergen, it comes in with a lot of air (mostly n2), but with water (h2o). Since h2o is rather light at 18.01528 g/mol and n2 rather heavier at 28.01340 g/mol, the air pressure will be low, hence a low temperature. As the air is pressed over the mountains immediately east of Bergen, unfortanetly for the people there, it starts to snow (although most of it falls as rain, since it's generally quite warm there), turning Bergen into Europe's wettest city wit about 2,250 millimetres/year (and probably rising, as it's already getting warmer). When this happens, large areas several hundred kilometers eastwards receive the föhn wind left over from whatever bad weather they got in Bergen. The "same" air, but without all the water, follows and with the extra weight, the pressure will be higheter and temperatures higher as well, which is good for "the rest of us" in places like Oslo, 550km away ;) So if you want to see a nice place with lots of people that may even be nice on a nice day and the day may perhaps be sunny for an hour or two during a few weeks, go on! The local dialect sounds like everyone screaming loudly to get heard over the wind - which is probably just a fact ;)
I feel the physics weren't really explained here. So I know that precipitation of water dissolved in air is exothermic -- it *adds* heat into the system pushing the air back above the dew point. So the air must be continually cooled to keep removing water. As the air moved up the side of the mountain, it expanded due to having less atmospheric pressure pushing down on it, but it probably also had to move faster due to being displaced by the mountain and lost even more pressure via the Bernoulli principle. So as this expansion cooled it, the precipitation of water put heat *_back into_* the system. And much like a heat pump, once the air was compressed again at the other side of the mountain, it came out hotter and drier than it started. It had the exact same enthalpy; we just traded hydration for heat. Anyone well versed in the physics, please, pretty please, correct any of this that I got wrong! I love learning! Thanks! (PS: not an invitation for people who _don't_ understand the physics to "incorrect me"! 😁 )
Thanks for adding some context, yes the physics were omitted cos that's not the main message here. Föhn can be generated by latent heat release on the windward side, as exemplified here, or by isentropic drawdown when the barrier 'blocks' the flow, causing air to be sourced from higher altitude. Föhn winds are always adiabatic though, meaning heat isn't lost or added during its generation (simply converted).
@@DrGilbz Wow, thank you! Looks like I have some more reading to do in order to understand this. I have a very curious mind! Thank you for this great video as well. I think humans have a good chance of surviving what's ahead, just not at the same population level!
i thought this vid would be on the inefficient use of electricity for hair dryers, kettles, toasters, heaters and split systems, i had a friend use a hair dryer off my solar system and one of my battery connections must have been loose because it melted a battery terminal using such high wattage

Ha, yeah, we most decidedly need a bit of laughter now and again at this juncture. 🎉
Very interesting video on a very important subject, Johnny Ball level demonstration, and a pun in your little comment there, what's not to like?
Another great video! Thanks, Ella. Also, love your Berlin persona! 😎
That was the most Berlin get up I've ever seen this side of the Rhein.
The intro segment was so funny i almost forgot we are up shit creek with half a paddle.

It was fun to watch too, well except for the scary bits! Well Done again. Love your videos. Thank you.
Love the wardrobe dept.
Give them a raise!
Thank you for explaining about how this type of wind is having these dire effects. Great video too.
