Mel Strong you have been blessing for me, such a clear basics concepts for climate change student. Thank You!

I am a pilot and these weather courses are so incredibly useful. You are helping far more people in many more ways than you may know

These lectures are helping me *a lot* with studying for a basic meteorology/weather exam I've had a grand total of 2 days to prepare for. You explain things so intuitively, never skipping over a subject or concept thinking the listener is already familiar with it, and you repeat things over and over and don't make them sound more complicated than they have to be. It takes the pressure off from trying to _memorize_ each term just for the sake of passing the exam, and instead focuses on the conceptual understanding of what's actually going on which is a much better way to study imo... This is a great way to teach (and to learn!), so thank you for being so good at it haha.

This is be best and clearer explanation I’ve even had about latent heat. THANK YOU!!!

I'm from Brazil and I fully understand what you say. You speak so clear! Thank you for the classes, I'm understanding much better the world around me

I am amazed by the way You explain it, Thank You so much

I'm hooked with these videos. I understand more of the weather in general thanks to your intuitively video classes. It has even made me understand why the raining days, clouds and the sun has not come out for a few days when planning outdoor activities and, not to take it by bad luck. Thanks for sharing this weather knowledge sir.

Thank you a million times over! Truly. You are a very clear explainer/speaker.

Hi! I just want to let you know that I have been LOVING your videos. This is not my field but I am very intrigued by weather and the skies and nature around me and I have found most material to be dry and not exactly what I want to watch or read after a day of work, but your videos check every box for me. You are an incredible teacher, straight to the point yet providing enough pertinent examples for understanding, your tech setup is ideal (video, image, sound, etc), and of course, your lovely cats make me immensely happy :) Thank you for sharing this with people like me, who otherwise might not get to learn about all of these wonderful things!

Very informative and interesting, thanks!

I live in central Arabia, one the driest areas in the world where RH in summer in 10-20% range, evaporative coolars are working very good especially if mixed with AC (you cannot rely on evaporative cooler only if temperature around 48 C or 122 F) Sometimes we get humid weather in the middle of summer, I can tell that the weather outside is humid when I notice the evaporative cooler is barely cooling. Thank you professor Mel for your intereting lectures

I'm so glad I found your video about weather! Your a great teacher and I look forward to learning more. Thanks for taking the time to make these. Its much appreciated Mel!

Beautifully well explained!!! 😆

Thank you Sir, Very well explained.

Hello from rainy England! For the last two years I've been studying for the 13 professional flying exams and now just have two subjects left, Meteorology and General Navigation. I must have watched hundreds of different educational youtube creators over the last 24 months but none come close to the standard of your videos Mel. They are so so good, and I think thats an understatement. Thankyou!

Great series of info. THANKS! Swamps cooler are used in the part of the country were there are no actual swamps - Have to laugh at the English language.

Great explanation! Thanks 🙏

Australians used to have a device called the Coolgardie safe which used the same principle as the swamp cooler. A wooden box with hessian or burlap layers that were kept wet. Evaporation cooled the box and your meat, butter and the like would stay cool. Good 'ealth, John Warner. Australia

Amazing lectures,greetings from Belarus

Love this lecture series! Down south of Abilene Tx we used evaporative coolers in our farm house- worked very well here too, and easier on electricity and environment. I grew up near the gulf, doubt it would work there. Even a/c units had a tough time there.

Your lectures are wonderful, at last I am beginning to understand the weather. Thank you

The cat makes me want to learn it all... best teaching!

Binge-watching your videos for acing my qualifier exams! Thanks a ton!

I have an exam tomorrow on weather and climate. I haven’t studied enough and today the anxiety is high. This playlist is very good, I understand things I hadn’t before and it’s good to take it all from the beginning. Probably going to have to re-do the exam after Christmas, so this will probably be my December playlist 😅 I’m doing a candidate in biology, which includes some geology courses and I’m sooo lost.

Beautiful explanation brother 😍😍😍

Great lecture! Thanks

Nice and wonderful explanation..

nice work buddy. keep it up

Thank you so much, you are great!

Now after I watched this video I understood why ice has less density than liquid water. Because in ice the molecules has less vibration but have high distance between each other than liquid water.

For deciding where to use evaporative coolers, the best map would be one that weights humidity toward the warmest days. However, at the same time, I would not expect that distinction to significantly change the threshold of decision.

NIIIIIIIIIICE STUFF... THANKS

This presentation made me think about something I never considered before. Suppose you have a cup of water sitting outside, and the relative humidity is exactly 100%. There will be no net evaporation at all. Does that mean that cup of water will just sit there forever, and the amount in the cup will never change? I don't think so. That would be too neat. Water molecules will be constantly escaping from the cup, and others will be condensing into the cup. As many molecules must condense as there are evaporating. But I don't think the condensation will all be into the cup. Gradually, the cup will lose water, but there will be condensation around the cup. I expect the cup to eventually be empty, and there will be a pattern of condensation around the cup. The condensed water will eventually spread more and more, as time goes on, until no drops can be detected anywhere, because the water has spread too widely. But just how this proceeds will be governed by some physics that could get quite complex. Does anyone have a quantitative analysis of this kind of thing?

Thanks again for these excellent lectures! Four decades ago I had learnt thermodynamics at universty. I wish, I have had a professor like you at that time. Now I am learning just for fun and not to get my graduation. 👨🏼‍🎓

What is the difference when dew is formed and fog is formed?

Sorry, maybe i am not fully connecting the dots, but why is relative humidity correlated with the evaporation rate?

So no concept of thermodynamics for students at this level? Unfortunate.
