Most of the time these also have Overshooting Tops as well
Most days last longer than 60 minutes.
Incorrect. Overshooting tops occur in storms with extremely powerful updrafts. The majority of thunderstorms do not produce these; the majority of Supercells, however, have overshooting tops. This simulation is to showcase a run of the mill, afternoon thunderstorm in the summer. This storm does not have a rotating updraft; so the downdraft is competing and eventually wins out, leading to dissipation.
it's amazing how explosively it develops when the air gets hot enough from the sun
About 10 years ago during the evening I watched a cloud that looked like this. It was full of lightning bolts that crawled around the anvil and sometimes a big bolt would shoot out of the anvil and strike the water below (the surface of Lake Erie). It turned out to be a supercell thunderstorm that had some mesocyclonic rotation, possibly even a tornado/waterspout.
This species of clouds is called Cumulonimbus Incus (anvil in latin)
The most Storms going up to 10-14 km heights and having overshooting tops!
depends if it is in the tropics where the tropopause is typically higher
its weird how I always see these clouds on hot days. Usually 80-99 degree days I see these surrounding my city. I saw larger ones when going to Palm Springs which was 108 degrees.
simplified explanation, but, the higher the ground gets, the higher the above air gets, and because hotter air is more buoyant, it causes convection, and the more of a temperature gradient, referred to as instability, the more it can ascend before reaching equilibrium.
hotter days cause more expansion of heat in the form of convection. And hotter temperatures can hold more water vapour in the atmosphere. Those two factors coupled together, along with atmospheric instability, cause TCU and CB development, and thunderstorms
it's because the heat helps them form.
@@wxguy.didn’t know that thanks good sir
@@Goofykid191 no problem!
That was isolated!
IT LOOKS LIKE THERES AN WHOLE CHAOS INSIDE THE CLOUDS
Very cool! This should have more views.
As a Type 1 Wildland Fire Fighter we depend heavily upon accurate local & regional weather reports and sound local forecasting.
Federal & State Wildland Fire Agencies require all Type 1 Wildland Fire Fighters to take & pass the S series courses each year as a refresher to learn new discoveries in Fire behaviors and Weather Science. Having an advanced knowledge & understanding to how weather influences the immediate Fire environment helps us save lives. The S series course, the I-290: Intermediate Wildland Fire Weather & Fire Behavior class emphasizes Meteorological phenomena and how it evolves with the fire environment. Understanding Weather systems, micro climates, differences in clouds, name identification & understanding the atmospheric conditions that cause stability & create instability is critical to Wildfire environment. Cirrus Clouds are the very high altitude wispy clouds made up of ice crystals. These clouds often look like Skeleton ribs in the sky & they are a sign of unstable atmospheric conditions. The topic of stability in atmospheric science is important because the formation of clouds is closely related to stability or instability in the atmosphere.
Question: what causes weather?
Answer: The Sun.
Really great video! Make more
i wish this animatio was an website
Not a very bad simulation of an isolated thunderstorm ⛈️! 😮😮😮😮😮😮
La tropopausa no está a 7 km de altura... Varia entre 12.000 y 16.000 metros (12 a 16 km de altura) cuanto más hacia los tropicos más altura. Quien hizo el video deberia informarse un poco.
Yeah sure I'll watch that instead of sleeping.
Is this animation, it would be a bummer if it was animation because this is so cool and I want to do this for myself.
Best simulation ever! It's the most realistic ever!
wait until you find out about CM1
So like why don't tornadoes form in the cumulonimbus part, that area in the sky that looks like an anvil?
Tornadoes need a mesocyclone (rotation due to wind shear) to form
Im curious, is this simply an animation or an actual site/app that you can check out?
Idk
Hammerhead!
is audio procedural as well?
Dose the curvature of the earth need to be considered/incorporated or compensated for with your calculations etc?
Possible to get access to?
Ok
How do you get that game on pc
sadly its not a game its just animated :(
Pretty good...but the simulation didn't show the way the top of the cloud system freezes and the ice particles get carried by wind ahead of the main body of the cloud...hence giving the anvil shape. I believe I'm right is saying it is the freezing of the top of the cloud that adds power to the cloud system by having rapidly thawing ice particles dropping back down inside the system, being lifted again by the up draught, re freezing, dropping back down etc....constantly adding energy to the storm system?
it's simplified
Muito legal
Not a ton of science here..
Actually, there is science
