I have not been working hard enough lately. I blame the summer heat. I don't really like to think when it is hot. Having said that i should also clarify that i don't like to work when it is cold. Which is odd considering what i do. I do have the excuse that i am back at work. Also, the kids have chicken pox which has put a bit of strain on the household.
One of the things i have been working on is how to to explain data like the plot above. It is data from 4 different sources for the same polynya over the same time period (km^2). What i was hoping to show is that it depends very much on what parameters you use for determining what is the polynya area what result you get.
It is very complicated. That is why i need to explain my algorithm along with everyone else's algorithm (or should i say results?). Why i made certain decisions etc. It is quite dull work but really vital. I think that is one of the reasons people have trouble with climate sciences in general. The difficulty with interpreting "results". I think that is why i prefer to be honest and indicate the ambiguity. That is why my thesis is so F'ing long. That and all the pictures.
Oh well, start of another long, hot day to get started! I am just going to enjoy that last dregs of my cup of tea and then make some calls. dull. dull. dull.
did i mention that i have been watching too much StarGate Atlantis? Man i love that show. I love TV at the moment. Gives me something to do with this active mind of mine when i can no longer type or read *grin*.
