Sucks to see you havent posted in a couple of years. Really enjoyed this. Prepare for my ppl checkride and really appericate the clarification on weather
I'm just a teenager with an interest in natural disasters :) wanted to get a better understanding of weather itself and the science behind it !! Great video :D
Absolutely love the winter sole version of the MUGGS (HUGGS as someone else mentioned) and while I was initially hesitant over the suede/roughout version it’s been growing on me. I also NEED the SLUGGS! Any version of them will be one I will purchase 😁
Hello I've Been watching these teaching videos and im so happy i wish i can ask you more questions. Hopefully you are ok out there. I want to see more .
Without clarifying the confusing H vs L pressure, this lecture means nothing: the cold air=HP above sea pushing toward the warm air=LP on land vs warm air=LP rising but cold air=HP sinking 👎
Due to a combination of pressure gradient force and coriolis force, air will travel approximately along a path of the same pressure¹ (so if theres a gradient of 1020-1000mb, wind starting at 1010mb will flow and remain along the 1010mb contour). As it travels along this path, if the way it is traveling is "forward", then it will travel with the low pressure side of the contour to the left² and the high pressure side to the right. If you draw this out (or use an actual weather plot) and then draw a bunch of arrows at which way the wind would blow, you will see that following this methodology low pressure systems will have cyclonic (counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere) flow while highs have anticyclonic flow. ¹ near the surface, due to friction, it will move slightly towards where the low pressure is, turning "right" compared to what its path would be without friction ²this is inverted in the southern hemisphere as the coriolis force points in the opposite direction
The wind arrows at the bottom of the low pressure area are incorrect. The incoming air turns to the right, not to the left, setting up a counterclockwise flow.
@@EJS1970 I don't care and was only interested in correcting your mistake, easy. Most of folk like you are clueless about the subject anyway. Like I don't care what school dropout thinks about brain surgery or rocket science. Weather and climate are like petrol and diesel.
I am a hang glider pilot and now studying to take my PPL exams, this was a really compelling presentation and some concepts are much more clear now, thank you for sharing!
When you are discussing the equation of ideal gas law, you say that when temperature goes up, pressure goes up and when temperature goes down, pressure goes down. Can you confirm if this is correct please? I thought pressure decreased when temperature increased.
I am just an ordinary layman that likes the weather... I'm 47 yo male but I've liked the weather all my life. I've been a hurricane chaser from home since 2004 I always liked thunderstorms. they're actually calming to me as long as they're not too severe ha ha. Although I used to like the adrenaline of severe weather because you're constantly watching for tornadoes although we didn't really get that many where I'm from in Ohio but we have had a couple. One of which was the 1999 Blue Ash Ohio tornado and I wasn't living at my mom's anymore but it damaged homes about a block away from her and it happened in the overnight hours so that was even more scary. It's also not far away from Xenia OH where the 1974 F5 tornado hit
My training squadron was right next door to the Weather Squadron at Chanute AFB. I sure wish I had chosen that career path than the Missile Systems training I was assigned to.
Are there any follow up lectures to this one? I feel like I got a good basic understanding now of how/why weather is created in the first place. But I'd like to learn more about how actual weather systems (clouds, storms, etc.) actually work and with which fronts they are associated.
