Outflow boundaries are mesoscale currents of cold moist air produced by thunderstorms. These can have a profound influence on ... A first look at the horizontal structure of a typical mid-latitude cyclone. A look at some of the mechanisms that can intensify cyclones, and the introduction of a new concept known as "potential vorticity". A look at what our Cartesian wind vector (in terms of u, v, and w) looks like in natural coordinates. CORRECTION: At some point in the video, I mention that the Himalayas create a form of dry line in India. This is an inaccuracy. What happens between weather (days) and climate (decades)? That's when oscillations enter the story, which are variations ...
A look at surface cold fronts. Cold fronts that occur above ground level (often referred to as a Cold Front Aloft or CFA) can rapidly ... A look at some of the physical consequences behind the Hypsometric Equation. One might call this a backwards way of thinking, but if we're going to use pressure coordinates, we have to look at how some of ... What is thermal wind and why does it exist? An overview of what atmospheric factors favor tornadoes. A closer look at turbulence, including some of the mathematics behind turbulence.
