1st i work with electricity. The other night we had a small electrical storm. In my house I got shocked it hurt. I'm sure it was static there was no close lightning. Is that possible?

Hmmmm...tough to say without having been there. I would guess yes.

Would you please answer whether there is any uncertainty sensor data in meteorological application?

Not sure I understand the question...?

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

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!

Hello I would like to know your view on climate change? Do you think humans have to do with this?

Asked by Debbie about 9 years ago

Pretty important question. Not really my area of expertise but I know pretty smart people on both sides of the issue. I do think you can only pour something into a system for so long before you have an effect on that system. Not sure if we have gotten there yet or not.

I have a question about global wind patterns. I understand the Coriolis Effect and its effect of turning winds in the northern hemisphere to the left. Why, then, do the Prevailing Westerlies in the northern hemisphere turn to the RIGHT?

Asked by Melinda over 10 years ago

Great question, Melinda.  In addition to the Coriolis Effect there is vertical motion known as a Hadley cells, rising and sinking air, creating something of a "loop". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadley_cell  Hope that helps Thanks!

but it has been in the 90s every day for the last 4 weeks. What happened to that prediction?

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