@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.

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.

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.
@ConvectiveChronicles8 ай бұрын
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.

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?
@ConvectiveChronicles2 жыл бұрын
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!

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.
