Asked by Andy about 11 years ago

I'm going to say "real". Shot with a wide lens and color enhanced in something like Photoshop. Great stuff!

How do you think this winter is going to turn out for the Northeast this season?

Asked by Gabrielle Enos over 11 years ago

Honestly, Gabrielle, I'm not a huge fan of seasonal outlooks. That said, here is a great resource from the good folks at the Climate Prediction Center: http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/ Thanks!

Where can I get info to teach me to read doppler radar maps? I just purchased an app called Radarscope and I am lost and I need this since I live in OKC area.
Thanks

Asked by Jerry Tune almost 11 years ago

Hi Jerry-

Great choice! RadarScope is the best. I would start here: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/jetstream/doppler/doppler_intro.htm

In addition to the products on the Radar Images page I would use the Vertically Integrated Liquid product, it is a good indicator of hail.

Also, here is a short video from the developer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUKzIeHtjho

Stay safe!

why does weather vary so much from year to year. The earth is in the same orbit and in the same place in the orbit from year to year, yet weather can be so different, what causes the drastic swings in temp, rain, storms etc?

Asked by DW almost 11 years ago

Interesting question. The weather (and climate) system is largely driven by uneven heating of the earth and has never really been in balance, so swings in patterns have always gone on and there is no real "normal". Also, things that don't happen regularly will affect the weather pattern, even a volcano eruption can limit incoming solar radiation over large areas.

How do I find out what the season is for getting Vitamin-D from time in the sun? Obviously the summer isn't a problem but when does it become pointless in the Fall due to the angle of the sunlight?

Asked by Jay over 10 years ago

Interesting question, Jay. I'm afraid that is out of my area of expertise. Might be a question for someone in the medical field.

How long does it take for the water cycle to happen?

Asked by Ms. Muise's 3rd graders about 10 years ago

Excellent question...and a very difficult one to answer. If we followed a raindrop from the a cloud to a puddle after a rainstorm and it evaporated right away we could say the cycle was only a few hours. A raindrop that fell in the southern Rocky Mountains might travel underground to the Rio Grande River and then the the Gulf of Mexico and evaporate there could take weeks or more. Very good question...great thinkers in your class! Keep up the good work!

I live in southern Missouri on a south facing ridge and have lived here since 2006. It seems that this year, beginning in February and continuing thru today(4/10/16) the strong winds have been relentless Why is that? Thank you.

Asked by Anne almost 10 years ago

The general storm pattern favors that this year, Anne. Air flows clockwise and toward the center of a low pressures area, so storms to your west, which some have been, produce a south wind.
