This title might be cryptic. For the three or four days after 911, September
11th, 2001, air traffic was grounded over North America. A brilliant and curious
meteorologist investigated the impact of this on temperatures and sky cover. He
discovered that the skies were much clearer with the direct effect that night
time temperatures dropped on average three or four degrees below the averages
established prior to 911. The infra red radiation from the ground at night was
not intercepted by the jet contrails and returned to earth. Simply, the nights
were clearer and cooler with no air traffic.

participants started to arrive around 8 am. The land breeze cumulus clouds were
starting to break up as the winds turned to onshore.
