fleblebleb Posted April 8, 2002 Posted April 8, 2002 I'm fascinated by the weather... why is Rainier only visible from Seattle when I can stare at it from my office window, but buried in goo when I have time off...? Does anyone have any recommendations for a layman's introductory text on weather phenomena? Could be an introductory college textbook but something nicer to read wouldn't be at all bad. Any ideas?

Dru Posted April 8, 2002 Posted April 8, 2002 you know... one of my atmospheric science profs did find a strongly significant correlation bwetween Vancouver weather and day of the week. more car pollution from commuting = more condensation nuclei = more fog and rain. it peaked on Wednesday/thursday and declined by saturday afternoon. this research was even published in a major journal of atmospheric science.

fleblebleb Posted April 9, 2002 Author Posted April 9, 2002 Wow, here I was thinking that the weekends go bad when fronts that built up way out there over the Pacific hit us at a bad time, by random coincidence. You guys are funny - well, except for that bit messing up my screen name, it really isn't that complicated klonker But, seriously, I'm just trying to figure out stuff like orographic this and convergence that, yada and blah. I can go to the bookstore and goof, but not while I'm stuck at work plus I'd much rather get a recommendation... Quote

fleblebleb Posted April 11, 2002 Author Posted April 11, 2002 ALRIGHT Nacho, you got it down! Hey kleenex, thanks for the link and the offer man. Those sat images are awesome. You know, I fell so much last weekend it isn't even funny. That's what you get from flailing at sport routes that are way over your head Wait, I just realized klenke sounds like a toothless person pronouncing the Icelandic word klinka, which means woman working in a beauty parlor or something like that. Or maybe it means doorknob. If I open a beauty parlor in hell you can come work for me, or be a doorknob. If you do have teeth you probably wouldn't make a good doorknob though. I can't really take you up on the offer, I don't really know enough to ask interesting questions. But thanks, maybe later?/Stefan [ 04-10-2002: Message edited by: fleblebleb ] Quote
