Hi Bob, The skew-T diagram that I posted in your other thread would not constitute a LLWS. Generally, you need a relatively calm boundary layer...
Okay, maybe some terms should be defined. CAPE = convectively available potential energy MUCAPE = most unstable CAPE MLCAPE = maximum layer CAPE...
Yes, that would be a reasonable interpretation of the wind barbs on the skew-T. I should point out that (if you look at the paper I linked in my...
You're welcome, Bob. Glad to be able to contribute. There's a moderate risk of severe wx in the Central Plains again today (NOAA/NWS Storm...
Here's a short paper describing the mathematical relationship of shear and thermodynamics to tornado forecasting ("Significant Tornado...
Actually, the 00z May 29, 2013 sounding from Topeka, KS (the closest upper air site) shows decent shear... [IMG] (Unisys Weather - Topeka KS...
meters^2/second^2 (Storm relative helicity) Boundaries can induce directional shear at the surface. However, shear is required for updraft...
Exactly. Yes severe thunderstorms can happen even in weak shear, but a different type type of thunderstorms structure is favored in these...
I agree that temperature of surface water is a better (only?) indicator of moisture trends in the atmosphere, rather than the absolute temperature...
This is the key point I've been trying to make (maybe not very eloquently). Also, if heat and moisture were the primary factors, equatorial...
There's a similar concept (I think) in meteorology called "equivalent potential temperature" (Θe). That is the temperature which would occur if...
If I recall correctly, the IPCC AR4 report stated that the Arctic regions are currently warming at a rate that's 2-3 times greater than the...
Bob, Jet stream configuration does not necessarily determine shear intensity in the atmosphere, and the shear comes from all levels of the...
I would argue that the other side of the "extreme weather" dice is also being loaded, and possibly more so than the increased heat and moisture...
Hi Bob, Again, if you're talking about tornadoes, you need more than just moisture and instability. Shear is the most important factor in...
Generally, high moisture is a necessary but not sufficient condition for organized severe weather formation, especially tornadoes. Shear, lift and...
Is there any technical reason why atkinson cycle (miller cycle?) can't be applied to diesel engines in hybrid applications, since the electric...
Emissions from any combustion process are harmful, including gasoline engines. IARC (WHO) knew decades ago that extracts of gasoline exhaust were...
I'm a little skeptical of this "record blocking pattern" assertion. There have been atmospheric blocks (often called "omega blocks" due to the...
There is currently a version of the 320d in Europe that is certified Euro 6 - Select a search : Directgov - Car fuel data, CO2 and vehicle tax...
