Definitive Guide to Weather Map Analysis - Part 6 - The 500 mb Map

[@xxghostsniperhd4008]

It’s so nice to see all these informative videos on this stuff. I take synoptic meteorology under Victor Gensini next semester at NIU and I’m watching all these videos for some self education beforehand. Thanks a lot for this stuff man

[@ConvectiveChronicles]

Thank you so much! Best of luck in synoptic!

What's up trey I'm excited for more science :)

[@VolcanicResearchandExplanation]

i learned most of the basics from you. thank you for your work

[@brianguidry5246]

Thanks for another outstanding video Trey! I truly appreciate you and everything you do!

[@ConvectiveChronicles]

My pleasure; thank you!

Great work as always, Trey. I always learn something new in every one of your videos.

[@ConvectiveChronicles]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

You are a great instructor. I have been wanting to learn about maps for a very long time. I'm 62, so what better age to start. Been a spotter and part-time chaser for 23 years. Thank you for making these videos available and making a difference in my life. ❤

[@ConvectiveChronicles]

That's awesome to hear; thank you so much!

Wonderful series. This part was especially useful since I’ve been watching your forecasting videos, but didn’t understand the part that the negative tilt to troughs plays in severe weather. Looking forward to the other videos in this series.

[@ConvectiveChronicles]

Thank you! I hope to have this series completed in the next month or two.

I used to really want to be a meteorologist but it’s so much more complicated than I had assumed. Course I could learn and I have with help like videos like this one. Also involves a lot of math which is by far my biggest challenge.

[@ConvectiveChronicles]

Yeah, it’s definitely a complex and difficult subject to learn in-depth. My goal with this channel is to help people out in that regard.

500 mb level has been the most useful thing I use to forecast

[@piconick79]

thank you tray!

Does divergence work the same say in winter when there may be warmer air aloft? Aka - does air from upper and mid levels descend to fill the divergence zone since i'm thinking the colder dense air at ground level will resist to upwelling... ?

[@ConvectiveChronicles]

Air doesn’t just ascend/descend on its own; there has to be a mechanism at play to make that happen. Descending air is associated with many processes, including surface divergence

[@MrMotor11]

@ConvectiveChronicles that'skinda what I was thinking. Was trying to put your video to work in the context of a freezing rain scenario where warm upper level low overrides a cold stubborn pocket of air. Last years ice storm in the midsouth there was even lightning with that setup. That's crazy

Had nothing to watch then saw this:)
