This stunning short film, submitted to the 2004 Kwajalein Film Festival, marks the culmination of four years and 30+ hours of nature videography and storm chasing. As Dionne Warwick would say, “It is the crème de la crème” of dramatic sunrises, sunsets, tornadoes, lightning, supercells, and time-lapse atmospheric undulations.
Question: What are the chances of the major winter storm that is currently centered over Oklahoma tracking further north?

Answer:
Answer by Paranormal Kitty
I am in Oklahoma now and I’d gladly send it all your way if I could. It’s not snow, though, it’s ice and it’s going to make the power go out soon. There are already widespread outages in the western part of the state. There’s nothing to love about ice.

Taken from 16mm films shot by Joseph Allen Titmus. Views of local damage from the hurricane that hit Long Island on September 21, 1938. The hurricane was estimated to have killed between 682 and 800 people, damaged or destroyed over 57000 homes, and caused property losses estimated at 6 million. Even as late as 1951, damaged trees and buildings were still seen in the affected areas. To date it remains the most powerful, costliest and deadliest hurricane in New England history.

Question: What are all the job duties, salary range, and educational requirments of becoming a meteorologist?
I was thinking of becoming one when our science teacher was teaching us about the atmosphere and weather. My math teacher said it was used in this career? How is math used in it, though?
Answer:
Answer by kearneyconsulting
The first step for a student in considering a career in meteorology or atmospheric sciences is to opt in favor of physical science courses and mathematics.
An interest in the physical sciences and mathematics are the essential elements for a career in meteorology. Courses in earth sciences can also provide a valuable insight into the atmospheric environment. It is very important to become familiar with the use of computers and their application to problem-solving, writing and communication. In the simplest of terms, high school students should take every mathematics, physics and computer course that is available. They should also develop basic skills in written and spoken English to communicate scientific knowledge.
