How to interpret atmospheric soundings

- Also known as the temperature trace, skewT chart, or Aerological diagram, this is a comprehensive snapshot of the atmosphere which a forecaster will look at all day long when analysing the airmass. They are very useful for soaring pilots, and show you winds, potential for cloud, depth of cloud, and height of thermals. This is a short introduction, you could really go in depth and talk for hours about different ways to use this chart.
Most of the footage taken today (2 November 2020) in Brisbane, with some additional time lapse from earlier in the year. - Sport
I'm so happy I found this video! I've been storm chasing for over 12 years and use these for my forecasts but I still had so many questions. This video has clarified loads for me, thanks a lot!
Thanks for explaining that so well. I'm gradually learning a bit more about weather just out of interest's sake. It's just fascinating and there's so much to learn.
Great explanation thank you for simplifying it and making it easy to comprehend
Cheers
So clear
Nick, that was great! I love SkewT diagrams. I'd use them to predict altitudes to fly at after using them to predict turbulence, likelihood of needing to shoot an approach, and overall what characteristics I'd encounter. Now with paragliders it has a completely different use with predicting likelihood of thermals, cloud base, and all the good stuff you mentioned. Really hope you do more weather videos like this; especially touching on NZ weather that I'm just learning about vs Colorado weather where I'm orginally from. Cheers!
cool, thanks for the feedback! Did you see my playlist (partly my videos and partly others I found interesting)? czcams.com/play/PLAmGQu1S70K3JCRi9PUIKgU7bD_B-IMXF.html
@@sharemyjoys I never did! I've watched most of your other videos but (feeling stupid saying this) never have clicked on playlists period as I thought it was simply another version of your posted videos! Lots to see now! BTW, do you follow Scott Dennstaedt? He is another aviation weather forecaster who really opened my eyes to the skew-t world 15 some years ago. Thanks for all your great videos and hope to meet next time you are back in Nelson!
@@MichielHeynekamp haha it's easy to miss! I haven't heard of Scott D... See you around
I think i need to watch this about 3 times
Yeah it's a bit like that!
literally just shared your joys there. wow lots of info, Im ready to fly my JS3 in Omarama now! :P
hey mate, are you into sailplanes??
Think I met you briefly in Organya in 2011?
I don't normally see youtube comments very often
I need to watch this several times. At least once to listen to your comments and at least once to read the txt overlays. I can't do both at once.
Yes sorry meteorology can get quite complicated and maybe it's better to watch again than get lost in a long video? :)
