Correction to the claim at 1:25 There is no temperature at which motion/vibration stops, certainly not 0 K. Total freeze can never be achieved.Why? Absolute zero temperature (0 K) is prohibited by Quantum uncertainty Principle and Thermodynamic laws(third law).

11:36 This is pretty much what happens when the cold Polar Cell easterlies meet the warm Ferrel Cell westerlies to make the low pressure convection that is the "wall" of the norther part of the Ferrel Cell and southern part of the Polar Cell. 🤔 Now think about what happens to that cold southward easterly when it loses density because polar ice melts and the arctic warms up. And the Polar Front gradient smooths out mire evenly because the artic is warming. It doesn't seem good.

That's awesome 😍

I do hvac and this video helped me understand so much. I have literally become a smarter person after this video. Thanks for not using huge words that won’t confuse me. People don’t understand how crucial it is to simplify something for a normal person.

I was telling someone how I don't understand weather/wind for sailing. I 'll probably fail my sailing test. Booom here is an accidental suggestion. lol

Anyone noticed the chem trails?

Natural Gas production, transportation and use release CH4 (methane) which is a "stronger" greenhouse gas than CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) and after a decade or so it becomes CO2 and H2O. So it is very destructive because CH4 is very harmful as a GHG.

For clarification, 90% of coal comes from the Carboniferous and Permian periods, beginning about 300 million years ago. So contrary to what psuedoscience people might sometimes try to tell you, it is not being naturally produced en masse any more. The Carboniferous was a unique period where, even though in an Icehouse period, the tropical regions were extremely hit and swampy with many anoxic waters. The Carboniferous also ended in what is called 'The Carboniferous Rainforest Collapse', I suggest the YT page 'Earth.Parts' by Dr. Johnson Haas for more on this. His page is a good supplement for the geology side of studying Earth Systems Science like Mel Strongs is for the atmospheric side. PS: If you even hop freight trains and end up on a coal train for a long ride, when you get off the train and wash your face you will end up looking like Alice Cooper. Be cautious riding those lest your train car unloaded from the bottom in a plant while you are sleeping and you die by being burried in a grave of coal.

Sir, you made me want to go back to school again. This is amazing! Extremely well explained. Enjoying watching every second of your lectures. Thank you so much.

Good video, but you need some better pictures of Mammatus clouds. There is something surreal and very esthetically pleasing about a sky full of well-formed Mammatus clouds. It probably has something to do with the name mammatus which is derived from the Latin mamma (meaning "udder" or "breast").

2:30 How are these calculations different from the ones in a weather prediction model? Since climate is the average of all the weather data points (average temperature, humidity etc. in that location) this model calculates with averages as input, right? Since weather is the thing that can actually be measured and you average a lot of weather data to get climate data. So the calculations should be very similar to those in a weather model but with less resolution (size of the cubes).

All that purple is why we have the redwoods where I live.

13:20 I think this is Cerro Gordo, a Galina (lead and silver ore) mining town. Fascinating history, one of those wild west towns where a murder a week was normal. About 5 years back this was bought by a guy and he started making youtube videos about him living alone in this ghost town. The opening shot of this video (ua-cam.com/video/hY9ix0upkuY/v-deo.html) shows basically the exact same view of Owens Lake except it's mostly dried out.

These are so good. Also easy to see you are a very good cat dad.

I'm currently a glider student pilot in Germany and these lectures are amazing. Question: This year has been a rather bad one for glider cross country flights. It looked pretty good in May (2024) but quickly became worse with the usually amazing thermal days in June being just really hot and humid. Some of the older pilots say that about every 7 years conditions are just kinda bad. Could there be any connection to ENSO?

Stunned the way you explain, weather explaination has never been so simple

The most beautiful cloud type, great video!

Conventional current always flows from positive to negative. It really has nothing to do with the charge carriers. When the charge carriers are electrons, which they usually are, the conventional current is opposite to the direction of the electrons' motion.

Hi Mel, I've absolutely loved watching this lecture series. I'm a history and commerce university student who's never really taken much of an interest in science, but I was drawn in by your clear and effective teaching style. I started out watching because I simply wanted to learn the names of different cloud types - suffice to say I got a lot more than I bargained for! Hugely grateful that you have made this content online. Cheers from Australia!

Hello! I've been studying clouds since I was 18. I liked taking pictures of the sky and wondered what the names of the clouds were in my photos. I'm 20 now and I'm getting back to it. This video was really helpful!

So I guess hypothetically, you could increase gravity and make air stop. Literally, to stop, increasing gravity would pull all the oxygen and nitrogen atoms/molecules to the ground, diminishing their kinetic energy by force, making them stop shaking around like a tweaker, and then so the function of air also stops. Increasing gravity would make air stop.

Thanks for making us all a little bit smarter.

This was so good!

I love diving down this rabbit hole of why and how weather works. I also love how your cat is always chillin' with you.

I saw a tornado forming in india

There's nothing better than learning about weather with kitties.

Mel Strong or Maelstrom?

Mel! I'm so glad I found your videos - these are absolutely amazing! Do you have a Twitter or other way I can follow any new work and content?

I'm back to refresh my memory...

Whas the black wave that goes threw?

kitties :D

introduction to the snow

Nice interesting and educational video, thank you.

Thank you for these lectures! I hope someone can help me out with this question: When warm air rises up and stops at some height (when its temperature is equal to the surrounding air), why does it sink back down it it is already in equilibrium with the surrounding air? Also, why does convection form a cycle? I can't reason out why the air moves sideways and then downwards after rising up. What determines the distance the air moves horizontally before it sinks down (what decided the horizontal size of the convection cell)?

Man thank you for the way you are teaching this information on one topic. Simply the best. I am a weather buff. I am a skywarn storm spotter for the NWS. I have autism and intellectual disability. My autism is was called autistic disorder because I have the classic autism with severe language delays. I script my language that hides my moderate to severe autism spectrum disorder and mild intellectual developmental disability. My intellectual disability is not from low IQ but my auditory processing, expressing and reciptive language disorder, math disability, reading disability, executive function, working memory, processing of visual and auditory, muscle control, sensory, communication, behavior, and adaptive functioning skills. The dsm5 allow me this additional diagnosis. So it is confusing for doctors to how diagnosis me. The way you are teaching is exactly how I learn best. Man you show me a social story by showing and telling us what a gram of water looks like. By saying sugar cube I can't understand the size unless we you show me a sugar cube. Use dice and then I'm I understand it now. When you said how a meter is about the size of a door from floor to door knob, I need to look at a door to understand this. For me I can visualize or imagine the door from flor to door knob in a 3d shape like the dice and the cubes you drew. But I need to see the door and door knob. This help me so much. There are many more videos about different meteorologist terms that others had done. Let's take the lapses rate for an example. I needed to watch 5 different videos by 5 different people who all explained it differently and terms and visual I didn't understand and still have a hard time understanding this. The biggest part is how to calculate the lapse rate to calculate the environmental temperature change with hight for driy adobitic lapse rate calculate and moist adiitc lapse rate. This is not something I can understand or. Know how to calculate. I want to practice the on sounding and forecast sounding. I still need help understand how lapses rate effects instability and latant heat and energy and motion all works together for me to better understanding severe weather forecasting. I may never understand that. Jon Hitchcock at NWS Buffalo the severe weather warnings coordinator meteorologist had help me understand latant heat but I lost the email. The way he explained it with visual supports with lake effect snow when explained the process how it adds at takes away energy and temperature to change the physical state of elilmets was very helpful. Similar to how you teach this video. Most you get from the internet is one topic with bits to understand. When videos explained baroclinic instability and how it forms weather system from the hydro hermo pressure transfer from one area to another to stablize thermo pressure. It took a few videos to learn this. Some of the videos are ph.d. people. One is with the NWS weather prediction center regional office Kansas City, MO. Dr. Arena if I spell it right had explained it but not in visual supports that was hard to understand. This video and with other videos on baroclinic instability help me understand this and add it to Dr. Arena video with OU that help me with understanding how it effects severe weather. Basically, your video explains mixing ratio in a way that I may not need other videos to understand this. I want to say thank you. Please make a big series on meteorologist forecaster of forecast models, convection, thermodynamics, hyrodolgy, physics, and skew t and hudogrsfs and how these terms are used and measured and interact with each other that makes sense to everyone so they Can understand and maybe make forecast. Many people with autism and disability love weather but have learning and social and emotional issues that college isn't possible and so isn't working but may want the same opportunity to have a hobby with forecasting. Like I do.

Best series of videos on this topic. This is exactly how I like to learn. You take it from a very granular level and build it up so as to have all the information needed and not just have givens with no explanation. Thank you

I love clouds sm, I really liked the way you talk through your lectures. I have adhd and autism, I find it difficult to sit through lecture style courses but this one was hands on and thoroughly explained. I didn’t find it difficult to absorb the information and I could simply pause to take notes.

hello sir, i am from india. and im preparing for meteorology exam as i am an aspiring pilot. i just wanna take a moment and appreciate this lecture as it cleared all my doubts. also, i loved your cat.

ok so when a stratus rains it is called a numbostratus?

The bit I dont understand, is: okay these macro trends are fairly predictable. But how come weather varies so much in reguons like the UK, and how come weather forcasts are so inaccurate and not very far forward into the future? Can we use ai to predict the weather accurately in 20 years time on a random day in january?

your lectures are total gems!

wind farms are much better looking than coal plants

Omg! I am loving this. So fascinating ❤

this is an incredibly helpful introduction with great visuals

When you go to 10hPa in earth.nullschool, you get a huge purple vortex around the south pole with winds as high as 400km/h. Would love to learn more about that structure.

Is the rate of evaporation of deuterium and water the same? If so, a nice experiment to test this would be to have a room at 100%RH filled with deuteriated water (heavy water), and a glass of water with regular H atoms. The proportion of heavy waters present in the glass should be increasing over time.
