The pressure gradient between high and low.

What I am asking is that, with your experience in meteorology, would it be possible to have 3 days of darkness in the Middle East, like 24 hours of darkness for 3 days

Asked by Kyle over 9 years ago

Nope. Can't see how that would happen.

1Why is air important for all living things?




2.How did you become interested in the weather?




3.How can we help bring back the ozone layer?




4. How long have you been a meteorologist?




5. How does a weather radar work?




6. What cause

Asked by Kendall almost 9 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!

Can large amouts of snow create deep holes or ravines where people can fall through?

Asked by Raf almost 9 years ago

Not quite sure I understand the question. Certainly the weight of a large amount of snow can cause problems, as can the runoff as the snow melts.

I live in ohio and the winter weather is much warmer because of El Nino but the way they explain it is confusing. Will Ohio have and cold weather and snow for 2015- 16

Asked by Patrick caraway over 9 years ago

Yup, it is confusing. Less likely that you would have a cold snowy winter. You might look at this website, it offers continuously updated seasonal forecasts. Thanks! http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov

When I was a kid I'm almost certain I seen lightning tumble on ground like a tumbleweed. Internet says this is a myth and lie. But I'm certain what I saw. Is this possible? Is there any turth to it and is there even any real studies about it?

Asked by Curious weather man about 9 years ago

I would say you are NOT crazy! Best guess on what you saw is "ball lightning". Here is some material for you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_lightning
