Sean Sublette: Yes, this pod apparently was brought to you by the state of New Jersey, New Jersey, and you perfect together. Just ask. I like hey, I like my colors here in the Commonwealth of Virginia. We get those beautiful Fruity Pebbles colors along Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway. And we're getting very close to peak here, in the mountains of Virginia. But the other thing I liked about this, about Paul was so many times we're asked as M meteorologists, well, what.
Joe Martucci: M, but just to follow up on that, right, so photosynthesis, then you're saying, is the king above. All right, so whatever's happening with the photosynthesis is number one. But I guess I'm trying to dig out maybe I'm getting too deep here. But why is that the primary thing? Why isn't it just a different kind of pigment that's primary?
Sean Sublette: Thing, ah, about those other environmental things. Because I've been working in weather for 30 years, I hear the same thing, like, oh, this obviously affects it and this obviously affects it. I'm like, that's not the way I understand it. I hear there's a bunch of stuff in there that kind of is all wibbly wobbly timey whimy, as they say in Doctor Who.
Kirsten Lang: Okay, so just paul, where have you seen, in your opinion, the most beautiful color here in the country?Paul James: Jersey has great fall color.Joe Martucci: Of course. Paul James: Well, there again, that's, changes in day length, but that's where you almost have to conclude that temperature is playing a role as well, because it's starting to get cooler sooner in the Northeast, typically. And you see that progression from the north to the south and the changes in the know. The drought issue, though, is one that I think is interesting.
Paul James: I can't say with certainty, Joe. I can only conclude that, again, it's genetics. Weather certainly may play a role, but I would tend to think that genetics is the principal factor in those,Joe Martucci: Just because I feel like here in New Jersey and again, I'm not just saying New Jersey because I'm from New Jersey, but in the northeast.
Paul James: Yeah, the scorching can be the result of a couple of things. First of all, just intense sunlight can cause scorching. But what you're referring to is when our overnight temperatures at 11:00 at night, it's still the 90s. That can be devastating for plants because they need a chance to cool off at night. Cellular growth in plants actually takes place at night, so they need an opportunity to rest and chill, so that that cellular growth can take place.
