Hi Paul, this is a great video that clearly walks through a problem I've been struggling to wrap my head around.

I do have a question on your statement that the kinematic method "tends not to be used" because of inaccuracies in measuring the ageostrophic wind. This is confusing to me because I think it's still very much the case that both ECMWF & the WRF model use the kinematic method as the basis for their omega calculations. Do you mean instead that the kinematic method is rarely used for deriving realistic vertical velocity estimates based off observations? It seems to me like it would still be a viable way of calculating vertical velocity on gridded model output fields. Is this a correct interpretation?
