The state of Texas is known for its long, hot summers and mild winters. That’s why the 🔖freezing weather that hit Texas last week 🔖took everyone by surprise. Normally, the jet stream keeps 🔖swirling cold air—known as the “polar vortex”—trapped in 🔖the Arctic. But last week, the jet stream 🔖dipped south, bringing 🔖frigid weather all the way south to Texas.
德州一向以漫長炎熱的夏天加上溫和的冬天聞名,這也是為什麼上週全德州陷入冰天雪地會讓大家跌破眼鏡。正常來說,高速氣流會將盤旋的冷空氣(稱極地渦旋)圍在北極圈內。然而上週,高速氣流南下,將嚴寒的天氣也帶到了德州。
The series of winter storms that swept across Texas brought snow, ice, and some of the coldest temperatures the state has ever experienced. Temperatures in Dallas, Austin and San Antonio were lower than those in Anchorage, Alaska, and snow fell all the way to the Mexican border!
一連串的冰風暴橫掃德州,帶來冰雪與該州有史以來的最低溫。德州城市達拉斯、奧斯丁與聖安東尼奧的氣溫低於阿拉斯加的安克雷奇,雪甚至一路下到墨西哥邊境!
Because storms like these are so rare here, Texans—and the state’s 🔖infrastructure—just weren’t prepared for the effects of 🔖extreme cold weather. 🔖Frozen natural gas pipes and ice on power lines caused outages that left millions without gas or electricity, and icy roads resulted in thousands of accidents.
這類的暴雪在德州相當罕見,德州人與當地的基礎建設都沒有準備好應對此極寒天氣。結凍的天然氣管線、結冰的電線桿造成大規模停電,上百萬人斷瓦斯斷電,結冰的路面也導致了數千起車禍。
Left without power to heat their homes, people resorted to extreme measures to stay warm. Some ran their cars in their garages, and others ran generators indoors, resulting in hundreds of cases of carbon monoxide poisoning. By the time temperatures started to rise again, dozens of Texans had died, mostly from road accidents, 🔖carbon monoxide poisoning and 🔖hypothermia.
斷電無法使用家中暖氣,人們只得採取極端手段保暖。有些人在自家車庫發動車子,有的在室內開發電機,造成幾百起一氧化碳中毒事件。在氣溫回升到正常溫度之前,數十名德州人死亡,多數死於車禍、一氧化碳中毒以及失溫。
So are there any special terms for weather events like this? The most common term is ✏“cold snap,” which means a sudden short period of very cold weather. Why is it called a cold snap? When you snap your fingers, the sound is sudden and short—just like a cold snap. Another term with the same meaning is ✏“cold wave.” Although “cold wave” isn’t as common as “cold snap,” the opposite term, “heat wave,” is commonly used. Another related term is ✏“cold spell,” which usually refers to a period of cold weather longer than a cold snap.
有什麼詞可以形容這樣的天氣狀況呢?最常用到的詞是「cold snap(短暫的氣溫驟降,類似中文的「霸王級寒流」)」,指突然來襲的短期極寒天氣。為什麼要用到snap(打響指)這個字?打響指的聲音既突然又短促──就像這突如其來的天氣一樣。可以用的另一個詞則是「cold wave(冷浪)」,這個字雖然沒有cold snap常見,不過它的相反詞 heat wave(熱浪)倒是很常見。最後一個詞則是「cold spell」,通常用來形容比cold snap更長的寒流。

#北美 #極端天氣 #氣候變遷

🇺🇸彙整 2021年02月15~22日,
美國德州冰凍災情。
上週末期間,美國大半地區氣候惡劣,從太平洋西北地區(Pacific Northwest)、大平原(Great Plains)一路到中大西洋州,都是大雪、冰霰、凍雨的天氣。
國家氣象局(National Weather Service)表示,#北極氣團 帶來的冷空氣一路向南,讓過去不常見冰封天氣的地區也寒氣逼人,墨西哥灣沿岸大半部、奧克拉荷馬州與密蘇里州都發布了冬季風暴警告。
圖1:2021年02月15日,德州氣溫分布圖
地處美國南方的德州一向都是以高溫著稱,這次面臨極端氣候寒流,部分地區甚至降到零下 18 度,美國總統拜登已經發佈德州 #緊急救災命令,應對可能的災情。德州地區起降的班機,已經取消了好幾百個班次;又因為電力短缺加上路面結冰,交通事故暴增,光是星期天一日就有 120 起車禍。

達拉斯(Dallas)居民布萊克(Thomas Black)15日就貼出照片,只見水管因冰凍破裂的漏水流到公寓走廊的吊扇上,竟因低溫結成一根根「#冰柱」,讓布萊克感嘆「身為德州人,我可應付不了」。還有人家中的水龍頭和浴缸結凍,馬桶蓋四周出現鐘乳石般的冰柱。
圖4、圖5:冰柱
由於供水系統被嚴寒凍結,大約一半德州人口(1300萬)面臨供水問題。其中,德州最大城市休斯頓收到美國疾病控制和預防中心警告稱,任何飲用水必須要燒開後才可以,包括過濾水,以防止污染問題。
作為 #美國最大的產油區,美國每天的石油產能少了4成,倫敦布蘭特原油18日漲破每桶65美元。
美國在2010年之後,因 #頁岩油 開採技術出現革命性的突破,開採成本大幅下滑,刺激美國油氣產量雙雙大幅成長,墨西哥灣也因此成為能源交易中樞,而 #德州則是美國能源產業的心臟。
《金融時報》(Financial Times)報導,大多生產商的設備雖然能夠在一般寒冷氣候中正常運轉,但他們 #並未投資並確保設備能夠承受極端嚴寒的溫度。
海龜研究與保護中心執行董事溫蒂·奈特(Wendy Knight)指出,海龜屬於冷血動物,在遭遇極寒海水後會出現體溫過低,進而出現暈厥或無法移動的狀況。通常每個冬天,德克薩斯州南部的海灘上都會有100至500隻被「凍傻」的海龜被沖上岸,但像今年如此多的數量實屬罕見。
當地救援組織的志願者正在努力救援這些海龜,並將它們臨時寄養在附近的一間會議中心內,希望這些海洋生物可以儘快恢復自身體溫甦醒過來。
休士頓大學(University of Houston)能源經濟學家賀斯(Ed Hirs),早在10多年前就試圖警告德州電網的 #脆弱性。
他在2013年的休士頓紀事報(Houston Chronicle)發文,標題是醒目的「德州承受著蘇聯式的配電系統之苦」,質疑ERCOT是否在重演前蘇聯中央計畫失敗的覆轍?
對於ERCOT將這場危機怪罪於極端氣候,賀斯直言,這是ERCOT投資不足又忽視警告,才會在可預測的環境下潰敗。
確實,德州在上週經歷了逾一個世紀來最冷的幾天,但對經歷過類似危機的德州來說,並非躲不過的 #黑天鵝。只能說德州的電力供應未做好寒冬準備,也低估了在危機來襲前保留電力的需求。

dallas weather 在 Corinne Vigniel Youtube 的精選貼文
Sirens started wailing in Richardson in Dallas' northern suburbs, warning signals flashed on mobiles urging people to seek shelter as deadly tornadoes swept across the city.
We peeped outside to check if we could see any sign of a tornado touching down, but could only see torrential rain and hear thunder and lightening. Time to clear space in a closet -- just in case we needed to take shelter.
We were lucky -- the tornadoes spared us, and touched down a couple of kilometers away, leaving a trail of destruction.
At least eight people died in Garland, near Dallas, five of them when their cars were blown off a motorway. Three bodies were found in other towns.
Churches were destroyed, cars mangled and trees toppled across a 64km (20 mile) zone from south of Dallas up to suburbs in the north-east.
