This is awesome, im glad i found this. Been thinking about going back to college and finishing, then going to uni for meteorology degree. Niceee

soooooo much to take in at onceeeee

Thanks !

Excellent lecture. Based out of SW Florida ...we will be seeing a busy hurricane season ..predicting 27 storms 14 hurricanes and 8 major hurricanes ...hope everyone will be safe

Great ! Thanks

Thrilling and great explanations ! Thanks

Thank you!

So if condensation nuclei are particles like dust, salt etc, then there must be a lot of rain after a nuclear explosion.

I have never heard gyre pronounced with a hard G, viz. 'guy're. Is that a regional southern thing?

Did he really not even show the Keeling Curve? Look up the Suess Effect The increase we have seen in atmospheric CO2 has not had the relative proportional increase in the radioactive 14C isotopes that are depleted in fossil fuels but it has increased in 12C. So yeah, we absolutely know that the overall increase is caused by fossil fuels because that radioactive carbon is depleted and the only thing being released into the atmosphere that is old enough for those radioactive isotopes to be depleted are fossil feuls, mainly coal. We absolutely know the increase is anthropogenic. It is absolutely ridiculous to say "potentially even man made global climate change", we absolutely know that there is anthropogenic warming due to human release of GHGs. And the proportion of 12C we are adding can't simply be sequestered into plants to solve the problem, even partially, considering that is a small carbon sink, plants are extremely sensitive to input fluctuations (that can happen over extremely long periods of time but not rapidly), and that we are also causing record deforestation. The plants just aren't going to "get larger and greener". And it will have a different impact on C3, C4 and CAM plants. And maybe you should specify the time durations involved in the Carbon Silicate Cycle and other processes so that students don't mistakenly think that those are short term effects that can assist in combating anthropogenic climate change.

Thank you so much for your lectures.

Thank you for sharing your lectures they are very informative!

Thank You SO Much! I use this for science olympiad. It really helps me, because I am a seventh grader and the chapters aren't the most comprehendable.

Thank you so much for such significant content

There’s your triple point at 45:22 underneath the L! It all makes sense now

Absolutely superb series. I’m soaking up every bit of it and i love the way it’s being explained. Very easy to understand. Thank you so much!

foehn (or föhn) is also german for hair dryer! Thank you for the online lecture, I am very much enjoying learning from you :)

Elements beyond iron cannot be formed by forcing other elements together, no matter how extreme the heat and pressure. Instead the process in supernovae that forms heavy elements is neutron capture. Planetesimals and protoplanets are not the same thing. Planetesimals are what forms directly from the dust of a new star system. Protoplanets form from planetesimals by partial melting and separation into a core and mantle. The mantle is solid rock. It's just that the weight of miles of rock above it is enough to make solid rock flow like soft wax. Also, that applies only to part of the mantle. The lithosphere (i.e. the part on top that doesn't flow like squished wax) includes both the crust and the top part of the mantle.

The best meteorology courses on the internet. Helped me through all my aviation exams . Hats off to you sir and thank you from the bottom of my heart!

First comment on youtube, your course is so helpful Prof. Dave, thanks and greeting from China!

Life saver for my atmo exams; thank you!

So helpful :)

These videos are incredibly helpful thank you thank you so much for such an amazing content. You are an awesome teacher!!

How much is Shell paying you? 🙄

As someone that struggles to sit still long enough to read, I really appreciate you talking us through the chapters. These lecture videos have been immensely helpful this semester. Thank you so much!

thanks sir

Thanks a lot.

After the photo disassociation, does that H2 hang around or does it get blown away by solar wind like the first atmosphere? If it hangs around, won’t it then react with O2 in, say, a lightning storm?

If water vapor is a strong greenhouse gas, what prevents a positive feedback loop on earth? Take 19:23 for example, when there was a lot more CO2 than today, What stopped it from becoming a positive feedback loop?

I've been taking a Meteorology class online and there are no lectures; only reading assignments and "discussions" with the other students. We are using a later edition of the text book so the lectures don't line up exactly but I have found your lectures immensely useful in understanding the material. Thanks so much for putting them online.

“TREEOS” or “Tiros”. You said the prior.

I've been on the internet since... 2008? And I today finally remembered I wanted to learn meteorology

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 GREAT JOB 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I, too,enjoy all of these lectures available on youtube! I wish I had gone into Meteorology as a major in school, but I did not succeed in Math and the Science required for that major when it counted. I feel like it would take too long to go back in and start over. Watching these lectures allows me to enjoy the subject at my own leisure!

What is the difference between a squall line and a bow echo?

Hi! Thank you for this awesome and informative class. Is there a citation regarding how the reason for the invention of the computer was for weather predictions? I am hoping to use it for a paper. Thank you!

Thank you for the class. Can you clarify that last demonstration on convergence and divergence? Seems like a critically important topic!

Continue again.

These have all been so so helpful! Thank you!

Dave: in this course, we will learn about atmospheric sciences, and meteorology. Also Dave: let's learn about nuclear fusion and the Big Bang!

Black ice almost ruined my day on a two-lane mountain road in Idaho. Suddenly lost control and drifted into the oncoming lane. It was invisible, so I had no warning. Be careful.

Great lecture. Very informative

Well this is cool because I've seen clouds and sometimes even a little rain happen right at the base of the mountains formed by the San Andreas Fault. I went to school over there and I used to take hikes in and around the mountains whenever the weather was cool enough to do so. For me, cool enough generally entails at least a small chance for a little rain. Since faults create distinctly linear mountain ranges and, since winter storms come from the general direction of the coast (summer storms usually come from the south but the weather is generally not so nice as to hike until those storms have arrived and then you don't want to get struck by lightning or carried off by a flash flood so it's not good hiking weather). Anyway, I have always tripped out on weather but I ended up doing my actual degree in biology. I also massively nerd out on geology so that makes the San Andreas Fault area a perfect place to go and observe things. Maybe a weekend, I would go up and lie out in some relatively flat areas at the bottom of the mountains created by the fault and just watch clouds form and dissipate, something dropping a small amount of drizzle, before either dissipating or heading on over the mountain range. I would lie there and watch it do this for hours on days particularly likely to create this sort of thing. Most people actually did not believe me when I told them that you could watch clouds form and either rain or dissipate but I don't think I had talked to any meteorology students. I'm sure the school had some but I will confess that California does not present with the most exciting weather in the world unless you are quite fond of obscenely hot temperatures and a bunch of straight line winds which blow down the transformer providing power to your apartment more often than is reasonable (oh yes and, half the time, you were still expected to somehow walk to all your classes at school while the wind was wailing at a good 50 mph with no one having had the sense to stop them building buildings at roughly 30 degrees of one another, putting the main walkway through campus between them, and making sure to create a wind tunneling effect so strong that you could go through the doors of either building on the side where they faced each other so there must not have been enough meteorology students). My thought regarding this cloud thing at the bottom of the mountain had been that the water in the air was heavy and so it had to rain out a little bit or at least make a cloud in order to pass over the mountains with the winds but I stand corrected. I also stand fascinated by how this actually happens so thank you!

When I am a father, I will make sure my son does not rape women (unlike yours). Good work Dave!!!

I am finishing up my prerequisites (cal 2 and chemistry) before I transfer to university and I feel this is really helping me get ahead of the curb when it comes to my core requirement classes. Thank you, I appreciate it!

Huge thank you. Fantastic series
