Natural processes move it around, downstream, downstream air wise or water wise. good news i the wind is coming in from the northwest, blowing whatever is coming out of that nuclear plant offshore, and that's going to continue for a while. the only way we have to assess what's -- what amount is in that wind is by their measurements there at the plant. the plant is not putting out radiation, it's putting out some material, especially by way of explosion, but it's pleblowing offshore. tomorrow japanese time through thursday, it's going to be there. downstream it continues to come in from the wes...

Is a symbol of power and they want the world to know it is the third biggest economy and still powerful even after a disaster like this. >> third largest economy. thank you so much. >> i want to go to the northeast coast where they followed radiation that leaked from a nuclear plant. tracking the wind patterns and rob explain to us how this impacts the flow of the radiation and how dangerous is this. >> they cool their rods differently. the other thing that's good is everything for the most part flows from west to east. japan is at the same latitude of the continental u.s. and the flow here is...

United states and it could go around the globe. we do not know. but almost certainly some of it we reach the united states. you with not die from this exposure. think of it like being ex-saysed -- exposed to asbestos. >> so we do not scare anyone at what point do we make an assess ment? when to researchers say yes, there is a cloud that left here and we need to be concerned and track wind patterns and follow the jet extreme. when does that happen? >> we need more information from the authorities. they say some radioactivity has leaked and they said the core has been partly exposed but we have ...

Than normal. and that's where the name comes from. what it mean on a larger global scale is when you have the colder water in this part of the country, this part of the world, it does affect the wind patterns, and the jet stream. the jet stream is where we get our weather systems almost like a conveyor belt. where they're traveling along. when the jet stream's set up during the la nina pattern, it means wet weather for places like the philippines, brazil, australia. here in the u.s., the jet lifts north and guests a steady stream of tropical moisture from the pacific. that is what's impacting ...

If it approaches the united states that, wouldn't happen until probably the early part of next week so we're talking over a week from now. if we take a look at climatology, the bermuda high will sit in this area and winds will rotate around that high. sometimes depending on its position, it will bring it away from the u.s. and become a fishing storm or it could be bringing winds up this way and bring it more towards florida and potentially into the gulf of mexico. being that wind patterns will be very changeable in the upcoming days, it's just too early to say which way. now, as we head into t...
