@@dailyrandomjokes9141 Mixing ratio is not the same as relative humidity but RH can be calculated using mixing ratio: (mixing ratio/saturation mixing ratio)*100 = RH
I’m 12 and I’ve always been fascinated by weather, I keep seeing these and I don’t understand them so I looked it up and found this. I hope by the end of the 17 videos I’ll understand
You’re a very smart 12 y/o if you’re intrigued about stuff like this at your age. Keep your research and don’t let your creativity and curiousness fade away. If you like weather science then by the time you’re an adult you might find yourself a career on it.
These are amazing. I try to get my commercial and IFR pilot students to understand these graphs and this guide has so much good info. Thanks for sharing!
I searched far and wide on google but it was hard to find something i can comprehend relating to Skew T and hodographs but I found this video which helped so much. Thank you very much for making this video and enjoying it while making it. Ill defenitly have to check out the rest of this series, and you are so underrated its unbelivable. Thanks for making this I hope you get the recognition you deserve! ❤❤
We are approaching Spring Storm Season 2023 in Oklahoma, and I will be coming back to this series to get a re-fresher on all of this. There's so much to digest here.
I legit learned so much from this series thank you so much! I’ve been sharing the playlist with my weather friends. Again I know a lot more now about forecasting severe storms and what to look for and it’s an amazing feeling! Thank you again😀
Informative video been looking for a video(s) that covers forecasting in detail for some time now. The video helps a lot I’m just not one of those people that learns well out of a book. Can’t wait for future episodes and more in depth explanation of things. Thank you.
Been a weather-devotee for many many years. Even fantasized once about pursuing an education in meteorology. Glad I didn't since I understood about 1.5% of this video, lol. To those of you intellectual giants who said this was easy to understand, I humbly bow.
Thanks for this brother, this was the best breakdown of these so far, appreciate the extra help to understand these more deeply. SkewT graphs facinate me
@@ConvectiveChronicles Of course! You and Tornado Titans should collaborate Both of your channels have helped me so much in regards to predictive forecasting and understanding storms. This will be my first year solo chasing, so I've been making sure I'm ultra confident this year!
please go over EVERYTHING! . what does the Theta E vs pressure graph even mean? what do the little blue vertical bars on the "winds with height" graph mean? . the wind barbs......storm motion vectors.... ALL OF IT!!!! i want to learn ALL OF IT!
Don't worry...it's coming! I'm going to cover every single parameter on a typical SPC sounding in the upcoming videos (probably starting with the 4th video in the series).
Awesome👍🙂 video. This is really helpful in understanding skew-Ts. My question was how can you measure the lapse rate on a skew-t without looking at the observations below it?
Thanks so much! You can estimate the lapse rate in a certain layer by subtracting the temperature (in °C) at the highest level of your layer of interest from the temperature at the lowest level of the layer, then dividing that difference by the depth of the layer (in km), where the depth is the height of the highest level in the layer minus the lowest level in the layer. For example, let's say we wanted to find the surface to 3 km lapse rate from a sounding. We'd find the surface temperature and the temperature at 3 km from the sounding, find the difference, then divide by 3 km. Let's say the surface temperature is 18°C and the 3 km temperature is -6°C. The 0-3 km lapse rate would be: (18°C - -6°C) / (3 km - 0 km) = 24°C / 3 km = 8 °C/km Hope this helps!
Other than a baseline knowledge of weather and what a sounding is, not really anything in particular; this series goes in depth on all aspects of soundings, so you should find it fruitful even without much detailed meteorological knowledge
Thank you very much. I like to be thorough with my self study, and i have heard nothing but great things about your videos. Planning to attend school for met. After my gen eds are done, so filling in any information i can get@@ConvectiveChronicles
I'd love to know if anyone was collecting lightning strike data during the solar storm we just had in May ('24). I'm interested in knowing if it's only cosmic origin particles from outside the solar system that may be nucleation events for strike initiation/create ionized channels in the air. I wondered if storms might show an increased number of strikes per storm.
Hey, I took a Weather and Climate course last semester and was told the Saturated Adiabatic Lapse Rate was 6 degrees Celsius per km. I was wondering if you provide some clarification on the matter.
The Saturated or Moist Adiabatic Lapse Rate is not constant like the Dry Adiabatic Lapse Rate is (9.8 deg C/km); it varies with parcel temperature and pressure. Generally, you want lapse rates to be above 6 deg C/km for more robust updrafts.
My question is how large are the "Parcels", for instance there is only one reading in mississippi near jackson, will it be the same for the northern part of the state?
Unfortunately, we can't release balloons at every geographical point, so there is a network of several stations to provide us a decent look at the atmosphere across the US. A Jackson MS sounding will be somewhat representative of the nearby environment, although it won't be perfect.
@@ConvectiveChronicles ok, in the last part of the video there are very close variations of temperature between 6 and 9 km , from -20C to -5C again to -20C in a very short distance thanks !!
@@ConvectiveChronicles I guess constant enthalpy at a particular pressure? Probably has another name I'm not smart enough to remember/figure out this late in the evening. To me it's interesting seeing how other fields deal with thermodynamics and the simplifications/shorthand they use, I'm a mechanical engineer.
@convectivechronicles thank you so much for this series. I came for the science and, sir, you delivered, and in a very concise way! This is, hands down, the best and most comprehensive skew-T log-P series of videos I've seen (and I've watched a lot). I learned so much, even though I felt I had a pretty good understanding already. I think a hallmark of a great instructor is the intuition you gain. This is a MUST watch for weather enthusiasts and students. Thank you again for the depth of information, and the work you put into this video series. 🫡 👏
