If a tsunami hits the west coast of america in winter , would it effect moisture in the air for the entire county and produce another snowstorm like "jonas"?

Hi, Zac. No you would need to convert that water to vapor to move it across the country.

When I see a meteorologist put their hand over the screen and draw a line or a drop down menu comes up and they "click" it are they the ones controlling that or is there somebody behind a computer clicking the buttons.

Asked by Bryce over 9 years ago

Great question, Bryce. There are different ways of doing it with different systems. Most likely it is being controlled by the meteorologist via the weather system and the camera. It knows how to follow a finger and draw a line or move icons around the screen. If they were in front of a television monitor there are different systems that track the finger directly on the screen.

If average barometric pressure at 10,000 feet is about 20.6 inches, why Is reported pressure today in Breckenridge CO 30.4 inches?

Asked by Bill almost 10 years ago

I would question that average as an error or typo. Standard pressure is 29.92.

Asked by Kendall almost 10 years ago

Wow, lots of questions. 1. For animals, air has oxygen, which we need to breathe. 2. Have always been fascinated by the sky and clouds. 3. Not an expert here but I believe that the ozone layer needs to self-heal. 4. About 25 years. 5. Radar shoots a pulse of microwave energy then listens for some of the energy to be reflected back by precipitation. Thanks!

Why will it snow at 27° for hours, and then while it is still 27° change to sleet/snow mix

Asked by Krissy over 10 years ago

Excellent question, Krissy. Snow occurs when the temperature is below 32 from the surface of the earth to as high as 10,000 feet. Sleet occurs when a warm layer of air develops in between the ground and the formation zone so the snowflake melts and refreezes in the cold layer next to the ground.

For "Average number of days with precipitation" (weatherbase.com), the annual average in Vienna is 43.4 days. Yet "Average number of rainy days" is 193 annually. If precipitation is rain/snow/etc., how can the rainy days be a (much) higher number?

Have to say I'm not familiar with that site. There is a feedback tab on the left, you might check with them.
