Pileus formation excerpt
A portion of one of my convection time lapse videos - but zoomed in on the pileus formation. Previously made this for a lecture and uploaded it for someone interested in pileus clouds.

You are an amazing teacher. if only I had you in college.
I've been watching these over breakfast here in Arkansas, just great thanks so much!
Why did you stop uploading videos?
Excellent!!! Thank you!
Our IT Manager said we are going to migrate to the cloud, so ill have to learn about it! This video is so helpful!
Great explanation! Thanks 🙏
Very informative and very well explained with great examples. I enjoyed it. Thank you! :)
randomly needed info on clouds for an art project and this has been immensely helpful!! love that we ended on a pawsitive note :DD thank you!
That's a cute cat
Another great playlist of time lapse cloud videos ua-cam.com/video/VDlBy_3J_yA/v-deo.htmlsi=0MDKN6nGYx9Kj4Ql
If the seasons were caused by distance from the sun, the seasons in both hemispheres would be the same.
love the lecture, live in the pnw and love the lenticular cloud part.
As to the 5mm or so limit on raindrop diameter, I have personally witnessed raindrops as large as 24mm. Under rainclouds dropping large amounts of rain through very still air. The falling rain induces a downdraft in the air. This downdraft reduces air resistance on the falling rain drops, allowing them to grow or remain very large. One of the most incredible ones I’ve witnesses came during a late afternoon downpour on the north side of Michigan’s Upper-Peninsula. An airmass that had drifted off lake Superior just dumped rain down as if a huge bucket had been overturned up high. The air was as still as an early morning. The rain drops got as big as US quarters, 24mm. It was an incredible sight. Then there was nickel-sized (19mm) raindrops falling west of a massive orographically induced storm caused by humid air being lifted over the west side of the Tetons. A ton of rain, huge raindrops, and ferocious lightning all around and not a speck of wind. Eerie and incredible.
That is how a supercell is born
I think 1 m^3 = 1000 kg
I love the big Fatty Lumpkins cat!! I bet his name is Cumulonimbus.
I'm so happy!! I watches all your previous classes excited to finally be able to understand the creation of clouds, I can't wait to finally discover this mystery hahha :))
So happy I came across your content. Amazing lectures organized and presented fantastically. Thank you!!!
thank you🥀🥀
I have recently developed an interest in clouds and have thoroughly reviewed numerous videos on the subject. Among them, yours stands out as the most informative and precise. You have surely gained a new subscriber! ❤️
Excellent
As an aspiring storm chaser, thank you sm!!🙏💓
Thanks Mel Strong. What is the name of the program you're demonstrating?
Wow 😮 i think is a good weather a good cloud😉🙂😀
I like these clouds, they look cool on a sunny day
Thank you very much, i really enjoyed it!! :D
<3
Australians used to have a device called the Coolgardie safe which used the same principle as the swamp cooler. A wooden box with hessian or burlap layers that were kept wet. Evaporation cooled the box and your meat, butter and the like would stay cool. Good 'ealth, John Warner. Australia
You explain so well!! I don't know nothing about weather and could really follow along. Thank you so much!!
Came here to learn how to identify clouds and what each type means... now I'm jumping into lecture 4 all intrigued and happy.
What is the difference when dew is formed and fog is formed?
I searched a lecture on clouds because I'm outside ans I can't be disappointed, really well explained thank you so much!
Thank you very much for this very clear lecture !
Thank you Mel for being so generous to make us your videos. ❤
I have never been great at science (most topics have never interested me), but I recently became a storm spotter (weather has always interested me), and I'm trying to learn as much as possible. These series of lectures are just so incredibly well done. Thank you for taking the time to make these!
Great video! Timestamps to each cloud type would make this video perfect!
I’m studying to become a glider pilot, and if I want to get my license I have to go trough some exams, including meteorology. Your videos helped me so much that words can’t even describe. Thank you very much for your time and all the great informations that you have given us❤️❤️
03:56UTC..Hi Mel..I am a weather observer in Papua New Guinea. I find your lectures very educational.
45:58 bro how diid you draw such a perfect circle
groso Mel! gracias!
Americans struggling with SI units is such an amusing thing to watch! Thank you again for such a good lecture. This course has been amazing.
many thanks
This lecture was awesome. However, now that we understand the principles of cloud formation, it would be amazing to have a lecture explaining how other types of clouds are formed (cirrus, stratus, and all their hybrids). We understand cumulus and cumulus-nimbus, but the others weren’t covered in the course 😞
french is retarted
These lectures are absolutely fantastic, you are a great teacher. I’m a chemical engineer and it’s great to put all the thermodynamics, heat transfer, unit operations etc. knowledge into understanding the nature around me. The only con is the use of imperial units which are retarded by definition, but well, it’s MURICA 😂 thank you heaps Mel!
fucking legend
Profesor Mel thanks a lot for this videos !! you re a great teacher! greetings to the cat 🐱
The presence of the cat makes me trust you with my life
I do not think you should sell your knowledge..😇
what happened to the context? I am confused?
