A closer look at turbulence, including some of the mathematics behind turbulence. If you know what you're looking for, you can determine the depth of the boundary layer using a sounding. A look at some of the mechanisms that can intensify cyclones, and the introduction of a new concept known as "potential vorticity". Many meteorologists prefer to represent state variables in the atmosphere as the sum of a background (mean) state and a ... A look at some of the physical consequences behind the Hypsometric Equation. Will the wind flow over the obstacle or around it? The Froude Number can help us answer this question. Also, we look at some ...
An overview of what atmospheric factors favor tornadoes. Outflow boundaries are mesoscale currents of cold moist air produced by thunderstorms. These can have a profound influence on ... Single cells, multi-cells, and supercells carry their own unique threats and have their own preferred environments. Here, we fill in ... CORRECTION: It is asserted in this video that evapotranspiration increases buoyancy. This is not entirely accurate, because this ... What is the Polar Cell and why does it exist? What is thermal wind and why does it exist?
