Andrej Flis

Andrej Flis has knowledge expertise in all types of weather forecasting, more specialized in long-range forecasting (seasonal weather), weather trends, global interactions of the ocean and the atmosphere, and climate change. He is also specializing in the Stratospheric Polar Vortex dynamics and forecasts, and its influence on the weather patterns over the Northern Hemisphere. His expertise also includes volcanoes and earthquakes and Andrej has interest in anything related to understanding science and nature, and making it simple to understand for the broader community.

Andrej Flis has also been mentioned in several studies and has his own profile on Academia page https://independent.academia.edu/FlisAndrej

*10-15 day forecast* A strong Pacific ridge will push into the polar circle, cutting the bottom polar vortex in half, sending cold air into Eastern USA, and opening a temporary window for cooler Europe!

While the stratospheric vortex stays strong, the troposphere tries to play a game of its own, attacking the polar circle with high pressure, creating a …
