Basic Weather Theory | PPGS

How does weather happen? Hopefully you understood at least a bit of it by watching this video.

One thing I completely forgot to mention. Day and Night temperature differences are also what drives weather...Still unequal heating and cooling, but it's an important point.

that video was packed with information! I had to take a lot of notes to feel like I would get anything out of it, so I guess your 14min video took me roughly 40min. to get through, but I feel much smarter! Have nothing to do with flying planes, just want to understand a weather report better, when I go hiking next time. Thank you!

Wonderful, stellar, incredible, marvelous!

Im a 8th grade teacher snd this video is perfect for my 8th graders they will love this video and the best part is that it's inappropriate and good for them because when they see something innappropriate they start laughing and I have to send them out of my classroom and if they watch a video without laughing I bring donuts the next day for thanking them for not laughing and for my beuty queens I get makeup from Ulta or Sephora and I am happy that's my way of thanking them. THANK

Thanks a ton, great video, I liked the music :)

[bradenpetrie]

Wow, great video! I'm recommending this to all my students.

I'm not a pilot, but I am interested in learning about how weather works in a way that I can visualize and remember. Your graphics and explanations were very helpful. I could do without the elevator music in the background; I don't think you need it, and it distracts from the talking portion. But, otherwise, I look forward to watching more of your explanations of basic weather.

Looks like a good video unfortunately I can not focus with music in the background, I tried

[Ti_AI]

The video was amazing and absolutely helpful but if the background music wasn’t there, it would be much easier to focus.
Thank you.

You should make differences between Southern and Northern Hemispheres clear…

[Powerful-energy]

Well, the sound in the background disturbs

[Pdev]

Helpful but the music in the background was too distracting to finish. 😢

[jermelcodrington]

I didnt get the 20 knots example though. If you have a 20 knots headwind how do you lose 40 kts?

[twobrokepilots]

Is it possible to get this presentation on PowerPoint format ?

[Xbusk]

The .music reminds me of city planners

[natalivieira]

Upload a version without this song in the background. As autistic, I can't keep watching this one, because it is too disturbing. But I love your content.

I don't care who you are. You could spend the rest of your life looking up different weather fronts and altitudes, understanding temperature and dew point spread, air pressure vs air density (which are not the same even if seemingly so), things like temperature inversions, how uneven heating of the earth basically causes and creates all weather changes for all practical purposes, and just be scratching the surface as far as understanding how complex the worlds weather operates. The weather is so subtle and yet so powerful and changes so quickly and on no two days is it ever predictable enough to ever say the weather is exactly the same any two times ever unless your perception of it is simply sunny vs cloudy vs stormy. To really pay attention to the weather is to notice subtleties in the air that change the difference between a calm breeze which won't even move the hair on your arms to a wall of wind that could practically knock down a mountain and will literally smooth out jagged rocks over thousands of years to being saturated with water until it pours down to being able to relatively suspend water at a temperature even enough to reduce almost all visibility to zero. Its a neverending orchestra of observations as far as I am concerned.

This would be reall good info if it weren't for the distracting monototous added noise!! just saying...

[gee-force]

Video could have been good but for the annoying unnecessary distracting music in the background. Couldn't watch beyond 15 seconds!

[flintsardog]

Would be admirable if not for the for all the plagiarism
