I have developed a new theory on hurricanes and tornadoes (different than meteorologists) and want to have the theories tested. Where do I go?

What all is the Bomb Cyclone I know a lot of people talk about it.

Asked by My name is not Harry Potter over 7 years ago

Great question. A bomb cyclone is a rapidly strengthening low pressure area. In general it is defined by a central pressure drop of at least 24 millibars in 24 hours. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosive_cyclogenesis

What is the difference between a none , limited ,elevated, significant, and exstreem and a none, GT, marginal, slight, mordant, and high scaling systems? Is it different names for the same thing or is one more percent and one more of the severity

Asked by Max about 7 years ago

Looks like you might be combining more than one system. If you're asking about severe thunderstorms this link might help! https://www.spc.noaa.gov/misc/about.html

There is a small town in Italy called Riva del Garda. Has nothing to do with weather, just want to stand and look out at the lake. Or from the eye of any hurricane. Thanks, Ash.

How can a blind person determine the distance of a thunderstorm if they cannot see lightning strike?

Asked by Azonah over 8 years ago

Interesting question. If you do a web search for "lightning detector" you will find some options. Kind of the same principle as hearing a static pop on AM radio. In an active storm it might me difficult to separate specific lightning flashes from thunder. These are commonly used at sporting events and golf courses etc.

Is it hard to follow a tornado or a sever storm live on air?

Asked by Daniel over 7 years ago

Generally not, Daniel. Radar information from the network of government radars is updated at least every five to six minutes and in as little as two. Newer radars coming online down the road will update in less than a minute. Great question.

Is there a "line" deviding the US by winter activity? I.E. snow: likely in KY, unlikely in TN.
If so, what is it called?

Hopefully you understand what I'm even talking about.

Asked by Cheshire over 8 years ago
