Siberian freeze arrive in Europe - 
December 1939

Hitler’s war paved way for General Frost in 100 days.
5th Post: 16 December 2015
by Arnd Bernaerts


Big Picture

El Niño in December 1939 & 2015 is indicated in Fig. 1 & 2. The difference in weather condition in Europe is enormous, throughout the last few months. With the start of winter the gap increases dramatically. The last few months were pretty usual, in 1939 not (see previous posts). Severe cold flooded the whole of Europe in early December (More), marking the start of the three coldest winters in 100 years, together with a pronounced climatic change, from war to cold.

 A meteorologist at the weather service of the German Navy (‘Die Seewarte’ in Hamburg) observed:
“We noticed this especially in the increasing mildness of the winters,  which became more and more striking between 1900 and 1939, and surprisingly a series of three severe winters followed”  (Details)http://www.seaclimate.com/c/c2/c2.html   

 

TITLE: NAVAL BATTLE LIFTS TEMPO OF THE WAR 



Nothing comparable has happen during the last months of 2015. Since May ‘Monster Godzilla El Niño” is promulgated by science  and the press, and still the „worst of this El Nino expected in coming months” (Fox). As the U.S. is likely to see some deviation with above-average temperatures in the West and northern half of the country with below-average favored in the southern Plains and along the Gulf Coast (Fig. 4), for Europe temperature forecast is well above average (cpc/ncep).

It starts – cold arrives

This example indicates well how winter arrived:  At Dresden there was massive snowfall between December 6 and 8, depositing snow up to a height of 25 cm (corresponding to a melted water amount of 50 liters per m²) after 36 hours of uninterrupted snowfall and a temperature drop to -7° C. Few weeks later Dresden recorded the coldest January in 112 years, but it may have been even longer; as the records had only been made since 1828.

That came as a big surprise, as November temperatures in Europe had been significantly above average (Fig. 5), but quickly changed North Germany (Fig. 6 & 7).

Particular dramatic was the early sea ice in the German Bight, starting already around the 16/17 December, even about two weeks earlier than in Western Baltic. More details later.

Since 11th December 1939 high pressure system governed Europe

By mid December 1939 unusual happened. Since 16th December sea ice formed along the German Bight and remained up to 100 days. That could not really be, because November and early December was mild, cloudy and rainy with predominantly southwesterly winds.

 It was chilly in northern Germany only between 14 to 21 and 26 to 31 December. In these two periods, the mean low temperature at Helgoland was about -2 ° C, with a monthly average at +0.6 ° C. How could  under these conditions sea icing start so early, and to become the worst since reliable data are available since about 1900 (Sea-Ice German coasts )

The initial meteorological condition for this record can be traced back to principle conditions in first half of December.  There was early and extremely enduring sea ice under weather conditions within a fairly normal range. The most convincing explanation is that the German coastal waters temperatures must have been considerably lower as in other years. This brings an anthropogenic contribution into play. Since 1st September 1939 large parts of the German Navy operated in German Bight, laid several 10,000 sea mines and were attacked by the Royal Navy ships and air bombers. In the western Baltic naval activities was extremely high too. Heat absorbed during the summer season vanished too early.  [All Text]
