Asked by sidy badiane over 7 years ago

Thanks for asking. Was always interested in clouds and the sky and when I began to study and learn how much was going on up there I just kept going. Take care!

hello I am working on heat transfer question as I am in University for Mechanical Engineering. How would I solve for the wind chill if all I am given is a temperature of outside, and the speed of wind. We can assume anything ex: Area of skin.
Thanks

Those are the two data points you need, Anthony. You can find the formula here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_chill

I live in a country town called Yea in Victoria, Australia. It's a saying in town that if Lake Eildon's water is lower more fog will set over town. Eildon is huge lake about 50 km away which flows into river tributaries near us. Is this explainable?

Asked by Elizabeth over 8 years ago

Very interesting question, Elizabeth. Since I'm not familiar with the area I'll take a guess after looking at the lake on Wikipedia. Fog is created when water vapor cools, so the lake as a moisture source is likely a factor, but difficult to say that the lake level had an effect. I did notice at the end of the Wikipedia article that the area had suffered drought conditions in much of the 2000s which would obviously lower the lake. Also noticed from the picture that it looks like a hilly area. Cool air is heavier and therefore sinks into valley where fog often will form. So my best guess would be that you were in a longer-term dry weather pattern that meant the lake was lower, and might have even been a little cooler. Sure looks pretty! Thanks!

I have a burning question which is really bothering me. In Rhode Island, sunset times are usually earlier than in Fort Myers, Florida because of the rotation of the earth and the light from the sun. But, sunset times are showing almost the same. Why?

Hmmm...not really my area of expertise. I'd say distance into the time zone and latitude/curvature of the earth must. Thx

If you live in a mobile home and have not evacuated when a tornado watch was issued and you are caught in a tornado, where is a safe place to seek shelter? (also you don't have a tornado shelter)

Asked by elise about 10 years ago

Ideally you would find a safe place ahead of the storm arriving. If not, you would want to me in the smallest part of the home nearest the center of the structure, with no windows. The smallest part would offer better structural integrity and hopefully protection from objects hitting the outer walls.

hi in doibg a science experiment on tornadoes so I'm wondering if the warmer the water temperature is the larger the tornadoe will be?? How are they formed? Thank you!!!

Asked by drew about 10 years ago

Hi, Drew. Usually a warmer water discussion is relevant for hurricanes. I would use these resources. Good luck! http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ http://www.spc.noaa.gov/
