How does weather happen? Hopefully you understood at least a bit of it by watching this video.
One thing I completely forgot to mention. Day and Night temperature differences are also what drives weather...Still unequal heating and cooling, but it's an important point.

[@julianhahn01]

that video was packed with information! I had to take a lot of notes to feel like I would get anything out of it, so I guess your 14min video took me roughly 40min. to get through, but I feel much smarter! Have nothing to do with flying planes, just want to understand a weather report better, when I go hiking next time. Thank you!

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

That's great to hear! Thanks for the feedback.

[@sohaibchetioui6453]

Amazing video ! Thanks you

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

Thanks!

[@EmelyMarquez-wm6sx]

Im a 8th grade teacher snd this video is perfect for my 8th graders they will love this video and the best part is that it's inappropriate and good for them because when they see something innappropriate they start laughing and I have to send them out of my classroom and if they watch a video without laughing I bring donuts the next day for thanking them for not laughing and for my beuty queens I get makeup from Ulta or Sephora and I am happy that's my way of thanking them. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

Glad to hear it!

[@generaldvw]

Very good job!

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Westsideaviation23]

Always awesome videos

[@tarathiesmeyer971]

I'm not a pilot, but I am interested in learning about how weather works in a way that I can visualize and remember. Your graphics and explanations were very helpful. I could do without the elevator music in the background; I don't think you need it, and it distracts from the talking portion. But, otherwise, I look forward to watching more of your explanations of basic weather.

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you're learning some new stuff. Let me know if there's any aviation subject area that interests you. Always on the prowl for new video ideas. I might have to turn down the background music or find something different. I get what you're saying about the distraction part, but it makes the video boring with voice only...just try listening to lectures...kinda dry. Thanks again.

[@tarathiesmeyer971]

@@PrivatePilotGroundSchool If you want to include some background sounds, might I suggest the low sounds of rainfall, wind, or ocean waves? You could also add sound effects (of weather or airplane noises) just occasionally, to punctuate whatever specific topic you are covering, in case it feels too quiet. Most videos I watch don't have a continuous music track during the talking, though. You're more interesting than you realize!

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

Thanks for the feedback. Guess my editing and production time just doubled. Thanks a lot! 😜

[@high-techalpha9756]

Great video thank you!

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

Glad you liked it!

[@bradenpetrie8184]

Wow, great video! I'm recommending this to all my students.

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

Thanks for the recommendation. Glad you're enjoying it!

[@harry8k]

Great vid, straight to the point

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Pdev0110]

Helpful but the music in the background was too distracting to finish. 😢

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

Thanks for the comment. Wish I knew at the time that was the case. Too late to turn the volume down now....

[@lindsaywootten9127]

You should make differences between Southern and Northern Hemispheres clear…

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@Ti_AI]

The video was amazing and absolutely helpful but if the background music wasn’t there, it would be much easier to focus. Thank you.

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

Thank you for the feedback

[@edpaulomcdonnell-velasquez970]

YESSS THANKS

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

Glad you enjoyed it. Hope it sticks with you for the rest of your life

[@twobrokepilots]

Is it possible to get this presentation on PowerPoint format ?

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

I mean, theoretically yes. I'd have to go in and type up everything in PowerPoint from the video. If you're trying to become a CFI (or just learn the material) , this is something you should do yourself. Trust me, you'll remember more and actually have neural connections that last decades rather than clicking through someone else's presentation. Not saying I can't do it, but the process is the same for me as for you. If you'd like to learn this, do it yourself. Otherwise, give me a reason to put in hours of free time into making a PowerPoint. Not trying to be mean, just realistic. Hope that answers the question?

[@twobrokepilots]

I was just wondering if you already have it as a PowerPoint. I wanted to pass it around my training center and for students to be able to make notes on each slide as they follow your video

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

Gotcha. If I type one up, I'll send you a link

[@Nickmh07]

Good video

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

Thanks Nick.

[@jermelcodrington4983]

I didnt get the 20 knots example though. If you have a 20 knots headwind how do you lose 40 kts?

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

I'm hoping this is the answer you were looking for - didn't re-watch the video to see what it pertained to. Say you're flying at 100kts. You fly through a downdraft, you pick up 20kts where the headwind is. You adjust your speed to maintain 100kts. Now you get to the center of the downdraft and there is no outflow, so you lose the 20kts you initially gained. Adjust the speed again to maintain 100kts. Then on the backside you lose 20kts due to tailwind. Adjust the speed again. That doesn't sound like a problem, but the windshier/downdraft is something that can happen over a very short distance(1-2mi). So when you get the +20 and adjust, it can quickly become -20 and then -20 again as you pass through the tailwind. You have lost 40 kts. At the speed in the example, that happens over the time span of 35sec-1:15 Hope that helps. Sorry if you were asking about a completely different thing. 🤷

[@Powerful-energy]

Well, the sound in the background disturbs

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

Good to know

[@natalivieira7748]

Upload a version without this song in the background. As autistic, I can't keep watching this one, because it is too disturbing. But I love your content.

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

I certainly will. It might take me a while, but I appreciate the feedback. Thank you.

[@Xbusk]

The .music reminds me of city planners

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

Too bad it's not copyright-free...

[@imachavel]

I don't care who you are. You could spend the rest of your life looking up different weather fronts and altitudes, understanding temperature and dew point spread, air pressure vs air density (which are not the same even if seemingly so), things like temperature inversions, how uneven heating of the earth basically causes and creates all weather changes for all practical purposes, and just be scratching the surface as far as understanding how complex the worlds weather operates. The weather is so subtle and yet so powerful and changes so quickly and on no two days is it ever predictable enough to ever say the weather is exactly the same any two times ever unless your perception of it is simply sunny vs cloudy vs stormy. To really pay attention to the weather is to notice subtleties in the air that change the difference between a calm breeze which won't even move the hair on your arms to a wall of wind that could practically knock down a mountain and will literally smooth out jagged rocks over thousands of years to being saturated with water until it pours down to being able to relatively suspend water at a temperature even enough to reduce almost all visibility to zero. Its a neverending orchestra of observations as far as I am concerned.

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

It sounds like you would enjoy The Secret World of Weather by Tristan Gooley. Thanks for so eloquently describing this massive swirl of air and water we call weather.

[@josephcline370]

This would be reall good info if it weren't for the distracting monototous added noise!! just saying...

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

Sorry! I should really tell the elves next door to quit playing their jigs when I'm recording. 😒

[@gee-force]

Video could have been good but for the annoying unnecessary distracting music in the background. Couldn't watch beyond 15 seconds!

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

Sorry to hear that.

[@gee-force]

@PrivatePilotGroundSchool You have several viewers make the same comment. There's no need for the library stock music loop in the background that actually overpowers the commentary, is distracted, and is not needed. It's not adding any value. Can you remove the music. It's easy!

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

That's the plan at some point. Thanks for the comment

[@GaryWardatCoastalBliss]

Explanation of the Coriolis Effect is not quite right. The physics is not really correct here, although there seems to be a bit if an attempt to try to explain the real physics behind it, but stops short. It is not about the different relative speeds at different latitudes, but the fact that the reference frame is moving. National Geographic gives a much better explanation of the Coriolis Effect. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4HWfZSki7hkh5o

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

Thanks for the link Gary. Appreciate it.

[@flintsardog]

Would be admirable if not for the for all the plagiarism

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

Thanks for the comment.

[@chuckmartin5773]

Great video!!! Thank you

[@PrivatePilotGroundSchool]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed.
