Gulf Stream Diverted More Than 100 Miles North in 2011

Last fall, fishermen in the Northeast United States noticed stronger currents and higher water temperatures than usual, so they tapped scientists from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts to help them find out what was going on.

A study by the scientists, published recently in the journal Scientific Reports, suggests the cause was a change in the direction of the Gulf Stream, the current that ferries warm water from the Gulf of Mexico northeast into the Atlantic and along the U.S. East Coast. The scientists found that the center, or core, of the Gulf Stream was diverted as much as 125 miles (200 kilometers) to the north of its average position, according to a WHOI statement.

In late October 2011, temperatures increased at two deep-water sensors attached to lobster traps off Nantucket by as much as 12 degrees Fahrenheit (6.7 degrees Celsius) over the course of several days. That pushed water temperatures above 64 F (18 C), which is very unusual in the waters off southern New England for that time of year.? It's also 4 F (2 C) higher than temperatures have been at one of these locations in the last decade, said study author and WHOI researcher Glen Gawarkiewicz.

While the diversion lasted for only a couple weeks, the warm water stuck around for months, into early 2012.The strange conditions likely had and will have an effect on marine life near the edge of the continental shelf, the underwater extension of the North American continent that creates relatively shallow waters until it abruptly drops off. The continental shelf off the Northeast ?is home to an abundance of fish. Studies in Northeast waters have shown that temperature increases of 4 F (2 C) have caused major northward shifts in populations of silver hake, a commercially important fish.?

In spring 2012, migratory bluefish and striped bass were also seen off the coast of Cape Cod much earlier than in previous years. But more research is required to determine if the Gulf Stream diversion was the cause.

It's still unclear exactly why the Gulf Stream shifted so far to the north, Gawarkiewicz told OurAmazingPlanet. One possible explanation is that the heavy rainfall dropped by Hurricane Irene affected its course by altering ocean salinity. Another possibility is that it was jolted northward by an eddy of cold water off the southeastern United States that appeared in the fall of 2011, he said.

Typically, the Gulf Stream only indirectly influences ocean currents and temperatures near the continental shelf south of New England when eddies separate from the Gulf Stream and drift northward, ?causing limited warming.?

Preparing Your Windows for Winter

While windows are essential to let in light and air and allow us to see out, they do have drawbacks. Not only are they a weak point in home security, but they can also be a big drain on your home?s energy efficiency. It is estimated that it costs the average household with normal windows up to 60 per cent more to heat and cool their home than households with double-glazing or thermally-protected windows. So how do you prevent heat loss? Here are five effective ways to prepare your windows for winter.

Caulking

Applying caulk to the cracks and holes around the frames is a cheap, easy way to reduce heat loss through your windows. You can purchase caulking and a caulk gun for a few dollars from your local hardware and apply it in minutes to your window frames. Use a putty knife or solvent to remove old caulk and paint residue and then simply apply the caulking liberally to all joints, holes and cracks in the frames.

Weather strips

Weather strips can be made of rubber, vinyl, foam, felt or metal. Like caulking, they are relatively cheap to buy and are used to seal the gaps between the window and the frame. Self-adhesive weather strips should be attached to the tops and bottoms of your windows where they meet the frame and anywhere there are gaps where drafts may enter. You can also use weather strips on doors, as these often have gaps around them that contribute to heat loss.

Insulating films

Double glazing provides very effective heat and noise insulation, but it?s also very expensive. If you don?t have double glazing, you can do the next best thing and apply a polymer adhesive film to the inside of your windows. While these films aren?t as effective as double glazing, they are designed to allow heat to penetrate from outside, but prevent it escaping from inside, so they will provide more insulation than a normal unprotected pane of glass.

Insulating films are relatively inexpensive, easy to apply and available from most hardwares and home improvement centres.

Shutters and storm windows

Another good way to retain heat in winter is to have aluminium shutters or storm windows. Shutters provide excellent security, keep the wind and rain at bay and help to prevent heat loss through your windows. Shutters are usually permanently fixed to the outside of your window frames and can be opened or closed as the weather dictates.

Storm windows can also help to reduce heat loss. These are framed inserts custom made to fit your windows, which can be inserted or removed as required. They can be either externally or internally mounted and are usually made from plastic or glass.

Window treatments

The kind of window treatments you choose can also have a big influence on heat loss. Heavy drapes that overlap and are secured beneath a pelmet provide the best insulation. Modern slimline blinds also help to retain heat, provided they close tightly and fit snugly around the edges of the window. Heavy drapes can tend to make a room feel dark and oppressive, which is why many people prefer modern blinds, which make the most of winter sunshine during the day.

Victoria?s Secret Push-up Sports Bra

• Victoria?s Secret push-up sports bra? For you ladies that workout, Victoria?s Secret would love for you to consider their new push-up bra. That?s right, Victoria?s Secret wants you to have maximum lift while you lift. Do you think that?s a good idea or big miss?
• Bra sizes are up three sizes in just 2 years, according to one study.? In a survey conducted by the British high street store, Debenhams,?78%?of?women in the UK have been buying bras that are too small with typical bra sizes going up three sizes (from 34B to 34DD) in the last 2 years. Debenhams has also discovered that many of their customers are buying padded and pushup bras?70% more to be exact.
• Breast sizes are booming but is it because women weigh more??Even MORE talk about bra sizex recently (there?s been a lot!)t. Last week there was news of lingerie firms possibly tampering with bra sizes in order to flatter their customers along with the study above. Some say that the jump is a result of women being more confident in letting themselves be curvaceous. However, statistics do show that obesity in England has been increasing over the last decade and the bigger busts may be a result of this trend. Generally speaking, the bustier a woman is, the larger she is. Why do you think the increase in bra sizes is happening?
  
• An Indian lingerie campaign which doesn?t feature half naked women. Indian lingerie firm Amant? is urging its customers to get rid of ill fitting bras through an ad campaign reminiscent of campaigns against domestic abuse. Telling consumers to ?break up with the wrong bra? and that ?suffocation is the worst kind of abuse?,?Amant? has raised eyebrows by not showing a single bra or breast; the ad simply shows a woman gazing into the camera. How do you feel about that?
• Stunning photos of plus-sized swimwear model Robyn Lawley.?Australian model Robyn Lawley, the first plus-sized model for Ralph Lauren, was pictured in a swimwear editorial in Australian Cosmopolitan.?Being 6? and a size 12, this may be the beginning of seeing a wider range of shapes and sizes in fashion magazines. Check out the photos and tell us what you think in the comments.
• Touched up Victoria?s Secret photos from last week?s post?Remember last week?s post where we showed what unretouched Victoria?s Secret photos may look like? Well, check out the published versions after a little ?sprucing up.? There have been changes to swimsuit colors, changes to the background, along with wrinkles, birthmarks, and scars removed. Is this the kind of retouching you expected?
  
• A bra that can detect breast cancer on the way??People have been attempting to create a bra that can detect breast cancer since the 1970?s. However, the world may actually be on the verge of having one. A device name the ?First Warning System? is equipped with sensors, AI, and pattern recognition software that can detect temperature changes of cells associated with breast cancer. More sensitive, accurate and cost effective than a mammogram, it will have both applications for both OB/GYN and primary care office use along with over-the-counter potential.
