Natural Science Forum / Earth Science / Meteorology / November 2005

I just love watching all the ivory tower academics stumbling all over
themselves trying to explain how this is really not unusual at all. My
thermometer calibrated to ITS-90 read 25.3 degrees C yesterday at 3 pm.
Oh, but it's a Chinook... Oh, but it's an omega pattern... Oh, but

Does anyone recall the contrails west of Salt Lake City in 2002 at the start
of the Olympics? A  few days later:snow. Reports of blue gellitous material
on the ground in days following. Was the weather manipulated?

So, I have a question. Tropical Storm delta was a non-tropical system
first. It strengthened before it got tropical convective circulation,
as I understand it.
How common is it for a mid-latitude cyclone to go tropical?

Perhaps by way of Baja California?
Not a hurricane that turned into a tropical storm or depression, but an
actual hurricane?

My turn to predict violent weather. Steve Schulin, by proxy, predicted
a "major Tropical Storm or hurricane to develop in the Carribean in
Mid-November". A piddly tropical depression #27 formed just long enough
for the Astrologer Piers Corbyn to stake his claim on it as the one he

The National Hurricane Center has pulled a fast one. The previously
identified Tropical Disturbance hundreds of miles from TD #27 has been
given the continuity of TD #27, even though both were clearly shown
simultaneously existing on satellite photos. This "quantum leap"

I happened along the internet broadcast of a station in Thunder Bay,
Ontario, and on the evening newscast, they were reporting temperatures
as warm as 57 F in Fort Frances, Ontario, opposite International Falls,
Minnesota. No snow yet in the area.

Non-tropical storm NOT PREDICTED BY CORBYN-SCHULIN MOONIES begins

It takes very little energy to pull the trigger on a gun,
but the bullet flies with much force.

Astrology and astronomy are ancient sciences. In times long past, they
were considered sister sciences, to be studied simultaneously.

We are guaranteeing a White Christmas in the Denver metro area. We're
going to make real snow, not the fake stuff, it will be a snowfall that
will build up and stay on the ground for Christmas. You know, the kind
of stuff that you can make snowballs with, build snowmen, make snow

I've been trying to understand the parameters output from the GFS model
and as the documentation published on the internet is rather sparse I
was
wondering if someone would be kind enough to give a little guidance.

Why can't I find a simple atmospheric model that I can run on my PC?
After all, the PC must be at least as powerful as the computers used
for modeling ten years ago.
Anyway, my main point of interest is, given a fairly simple model, how

Hi, all
I am looking for algorithm or code example in C or fortran to interpolate
values from scattered observation points inside à 3D rectangular grid to
initialize a fluid dynamic model. Observation should not influence
