storms such as this and comparing them to similar events on other planets (think Jupiter's Great Red Spot) help scientists better understand weather
patterns throughout the solar system, even here on Earth.
Once the warm water reaches the surface, it interacts with the atmosphere, creating weather

storm track), wetter than average conditions for much of Europe, cold air outbreaks
throughout the mid-latitudes, and warmer than average conditions in eastern Canada and subtropical Asia (see figure below, left panel).
