Why did the siren sound change form a long wail to shorter wails?

Asked by sdafdf almost 6 years ago

Siren choice is up to each municipality. You might check with your local county emergency management office. Thanks!

Is it true that if someone cusses on live TV they can be sued?

Asked by Human being about 6 years ago

Hmmm...don't think so. Might be a question for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). I think they can levy fines.

I wanted to know what the winter outlook of 2018-2019 will be like for the United States?

Hi, Jeremiah. Here is a great site. http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/

Hello! So I read an article about the Amazon being in fire. I was wondering if there was a way to take the numbers from how much Co2 is increasing & oxygen being take away & measure the effects elsewhere from wind patterns, temperature changes, etc.

Asked by Desmond over 5 years ago

Interesting question. A little out of my area as a local meteorologist. You might have some luck looking around the website for National Center for Atmospheric Research. https://ncar.ucar.edu/

I have looked online for 2 days I pulled up storm tracks on a radar. Each storm track is designated by a letter then a number. It seems that the numbers are sequential. Do the letters have any meaning?

Asked by Kevin C almost 7 years ago

Hi, Kevin. I'm thinking you mean the Storm Attributes Table, IDs assigned to radar products. Take a look here and see if this is helpful. Thanks. https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/data-access/radar-data/nexrad-products

why is there more precipitation in Northern California than in Southern California?

Asked by girlstarsccr about 6 years ago

Tricky question because there is a difference between weather, day-to-day, and climate, long-term. California weather is driven in large part by the jet stream atmospheric currents at mid-latitudes which is affected by many things like El Niño, even sunspot cycles. That changes daily, weekly, monthly and so on. Local features like terrain can affect rainfall for a particular site too. So reasons for more precipitation in a given year can be different than over a longer period of time. Broadly speaking, latitude has a lot to do with it. Thanks!

What do you think if you did not work as a broadcast meteorologist what do you think you would be? Lets say the job did not exist,

Asked by Jane about 6 years ago

Hmmmm.....teacher and/or real estate developer. And I do look forward to the day when I can simply enjoy the weather as opposed to working it. Thanks, Jane!
