  • Pressure differences can be caused by uneven heating of the earth's surface. When the sun heats the earth's surface, the air expands. With heating, air molecules move faster and bump each other farther apart. This is why the air can hold more moisture as well. If you were to measure the weight of a cubic foot of warm air, it would weigh less than a cubic foot of cold air because it has less molecules in it. This phenomea explains the normal small changes in pressure each day (relatively higher in the morning and lower in the afternoon.)

  • There is a relationship between air pollution and weather. Certain weather conditions, such as thermally inversions which to name one, in combination with air pollutants, can create a serious public health issue.

  • Altocumulus clouds are white or grey, or both. They appear as a sheet or layer of cloud, generally with shading composed of rounded masses, rolls, etc.

  • Altostratus is a greyish or bluish cloud sheet or layer of striated, fibrous or uniform appearance which totally or partly covers the sky, but having parts thin enough to reveal the sun at least vaguely, as through ground glass.

  • Quite simply put, barometers measure the weight of the air in the atmosphere. As the air presses down on the mercury in the container, the mercury in the column moves up. When air pressure decreases and the mercury in the column weighs more than the air pressing upon it, the mercury in the column drops.

  • A study in Sweden provides an interesting insight into the possibility of a connection between suicide and excessive daylight. Greenland has the world’s highest suicide rate, and in its northern part, where the sun doesn’t set between April and August, suicide occurs more frequently, especially among young men.

  • The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is a newer 1 to 5 categorization based on a hurricane's intensity at landfall. Historically, the scale (then known as the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale) used central pressure and storm surge as components of the categories. The problem with this method was that there are too many variables that influence storm surge.

"I'd worked as an observer for years, but needed to re-certify.  I learned more in this course than I ever imagined I could and I passed the exam with flying colors. I am also definately a better observer"  TS, Louisiana


I knew nothing about weather at all.  My new job depended on passing the weather observer certification test.  Thanks to the patience and personal attention you gave us all, the entire class passed. JB, Texas


"When my company sent me to this class I thought I didn't need the training.  I was wrong.  Thanks"   RB, Texas


You are the "Gold Standard" of teaching.  Absolutely the best teacher I have ever had.  DG, Louisiana
