Hi Cap. I was intrigued by the numbers in Turkey above; 300 million cubic metres (79 Billion gallons). The only conversions that I can come up with are:
1.0 Cubic metres (m³) =219.9692 Imperial gallons or,
1.0 Cubic metres (m³) =264.1721 US Gallons. Lets say 1.0 Cubic metres equals approx. 250 gallons Halfway between the two gallons. I divided 79,ooo,ooo,ooo by 250 and came up with 316,000,000. so I guess the figures are accurate. It seems like we need a newer, easier to comprehend, quantitative natural gas noun. How about Gats, (Gas Term). I Gat equals 1,000,000,000 Cubic feet of Natural gas. Just trying to help here. Billy B. in Vancouver BC
The problem is different countries use different units to measure and report gas use. The UK, and possibly the US, sometimes uses British thermal units ,Btu’s, which is a measure of the amount of energy the gas contains not it’s volume. There’s never going to be an international agreement to use the same units so the confusion will persist. I guess there’s a conversion table or a fairly simple formula somewhere on the web.
Niigata City gets 50cm of snow in 12 hours (4cm an hour) and the British media has hysterical headlines about a 1cm an hour snow blizzard that might last 3-4 hours set clobber parts of the UK. Get a grip guys, although these headlines make a change from the “terrifying 473 mile wall of snow to hit Britain” type that we get at least 6-8 times every winter. 473 miles is a very precise number to put on an event the models predict will happen in 10-14 days time but never does. 12 or 18 hours after making these predictions the updated model run almost always shows a completely different type of weather for the day in question.
Wind now gusting E 120mph in S Greenland where it’s 0F degrees and snowing heavy. A cyclone to the South barometer reading 960 on Windy.com cartoon. 36 feet waves every 14 seconds. 15 feet of snow forecast there the next two weeks, the most on the planet. Winds over 100mph all day Tuesday on S Greenland
That cyclone is pulling SE wind through EU, warm air up from Africa where it’s 102F Tuesday. It’s -35F in C Greenland so that temp diff gives the wind strength in Greenland of 120mph. Warmer than ave in Africa from solar activity increases the temp diff and wind velocity in Greenland and the snow amount.
22F ‘ere at 3am they forecast 15F. Record low temp here for date is 7F back in 2019 solar minimum. Record for tonight Tuesday night was in 2021 at 27F, forecast tonight is record low 19F.
