As a pilot who flies a small plane near the Canada US border this was extremely helpful. This knowledge has improved my flight planning and improved my operating safety.

Studying Airline Pilot porgram in Europe and your videos explains meteo by far better than all instructors i have seen here ... Great Job Sir and Thank you...

Going through these lectures, every time I think to myself: "this particular subject has been covered in the books I've read, so I'm gonna just refresh the knowledge" And every time I learn something new!

Our professor for Meteorology 1 explained us all of this through mathematical derivations, never showing us even a single illustration. Consequently I don't think anybody in my class really understood what the polar front and Rossby waves really are, even though you manage to explain it very clearly in 10 minutes using earth nullschool. I can't even tell you how helpful your videos are for me. I'm trying to hone my skills as a meteorologist, but it's very difficult to find people who understand the atmosphere AND who are good teachers at the same time, because our field is just that small.

Just Wow! This video answered all my doubts regarding mid latitude cyclones. This vid has so less views about this topic because it’s lengthier but people will watch so many other videos of short durations and end up wasting more than 1 hour with having more confusion and doubts. This video right here is gold. Thankyou so much Sir!

I really love watching your series. The structuring is pretty great and I think the examples, websites and your sketches contribute to your explanations well. That makes it really easy to follow you. Good job! I am excited what the rest of the episodes is all about and no matter what it is I hope you will continue teaching ^^ I honestly look at the clouds totally different now, knowing what they're telling me. So, keep up your good work!

this is the sweet nectar of life

Very good ("nice".). Clear and to the point. (zero fluff.).

You make the mechanics of weather clearly understandable. Many thanks

This makes me appreciate meteorologists a lot more. It is so complex, even with a great tutor like you, and requires a lot of thinking outside of class to really understand it. As much as it is complex it is a beautiful science.

Awesome lecture Mr. Strong! Really enjoying this series you put together. I particularly enjoy how much time you take on these simpler subjects and explain them in multiple ways. I always benefit from having different perspectives on individual subjects.

Extraordinary video! It definitely deserves much more views!

You are the best Mel!! I am taking Marine Meteorology and your lectures are helping me understand the big picture. Thank you!!! Love the cats :)

1. Thank you for letting us get further acquainted with the precious cat. 2. You should’ve seen my face when you called out to your new mexico fellows about how unreal it sounds to have 24 h rain. My Swedish self had to re-evaluate how the world works 😂

This was SOOO SOOO great. I'm so glad i found this channel.

Such a great explanation of a complicated topic. Thanks, Mel.

i really love these lectures! they help me literally a lot!!!

Awesome! Thanks for the brilliant lecture. I really enjoyed it. Neatly explained!

Thank you for detailed explanations. It is really hard to catch something about fronts. But now all the settled for me.

great stuff thanks so much for putting it up

Great lecture, very interesting 🙂

Gray cat this time love it

that a great video for all people interest in Meteorology. also, your cat is do lovely.. haha..

Excellent Excellent Excellent

very informative

Hi, I'm so enjoying your videos!! Thank you so much! Just a question or two. Does a hurricane ever form south of the equator and then cross the equator and go north spinning the opposite way?? Also, if there is sinking air in the center of the hurricane, why is that the center of the low pressure??

Hi Mel, brilliant videos for understanding the weather, nearly watched them all. Was wondering though if you could do a small video talking about what the winds do, ie backing and veering when you go through the fronts. I know winds 'veer' for warm front and 'Back' on the cold but could explain it visually how it works please.

Hi Mel, do you give lessons for local people?

Is it possible to get warmefront on equator area Mr Strong?

Keep comming please

Hi Prof. Strong, thanks for your lecture. I like your lecture. One question: Are polar front and polar jet stream same thing ?

I'm from Minnesota and this is happening right now.

I would say the world map you show at the beginning, has the lattitudes of the parallels impropely displayed. 30º N parallel passes through Morocco and Texas actually. 60º N parallel should be below the arctic circle, which passes thorugh Alaska and Scandinavian peninsula. Besides that, thank you very much for posting

Hi sir. How can I access these models to use in my classroom?

👍

I would love to visit your website, but both Chrome and Edge say it not safe, and will not take med there. Because it is not an https I assume

Has anyone ever calculated the perimeter, area, and even volume at each layer of the measured parts of the atmosphere for the polar front and vortex over time for a climatological graph? Yet another metric to track the changing climate. Average and median temperature for the large-scale air masses should be calculated as well as dew point averages as well. Counting and measuring the Rossby waves, their speeds, their frequencies and amplitudes over time, and reference every layer from the surface to the top. I feel like just measuring the area, intensity (temperature and dew points and pressures) as well as perimeter, waves and their features, then we would have a better grasp of the AO and AAO as well as the influences on climate and forcings in reverse. I just have never come across any area measurements of the polar front and polar air mass.

45:58 bro how diid you draw such a perfect circle

I'd like to add on to it, could the Polar front also be known as the Polar jet stream?

something on mediterranean sea?

How much do you think Mel's cat weighs?

The sites you linked earth nulschool net is really great. Sigh g**gle hides very useful site after all this time everytime i search multifunction wather radar

H😂,, 24 hrs? Try months in the PNW.😂
