cg2916 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Where's the best place to get model soundings? I'm trying to find one with wetbulbs or at least dew point and pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to find one with wetbulbs or at least dew point and pressure. I use www.pivotalweather.com for point soundings from time to time. Geared more towards severe weather IMO, though. If you are dedicated and don't mind a small learning curve, BUFKIT is fantastic for viewing model sounds from the NAM/GFS. http://www.wdtb.noaa.gov/tools/BUFKIT/ Once you download the program the data distribution is here: http://www.meteo.psu.edu/bufkit/CONUS_NAM_00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some others in addition to what Tyler mentioned: College of Dupage: on any model map image, just click on the map and it will launch a sounding for that time http://weather.cod.edu/forecast/ TwisterData: similar to Dupage, just click on the map - http://www.twisterdata.com/ Others for sounding or sounding data: http://www.wxcaster.com/models_text.htm http://vortex.plymouth.edu/myo/fx/raobfx.html http://www.stormchaser.niu.edu/machine/textfcstsound.html For observed soundings (not modeled): http://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/soundings/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Bufkit warehouse is also a great resource for soundings to load up in BUFKIT http://www.meteor.iastate.edu/~ckarsten/bufkit/data/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to find one with wetbulbs or at least dew point and pressure. As Tyler mentioned, we have clickable soundings available on pivotalweather.com. To my knowledge, we're the only site offering this for the HRRR or the 4-km NAM CONUS nest. The load times for GFS and NAM soundings should also be as fast or faster than comparable sites (under 4 sec. in most cases). On our Skew-T Log-P panel, you can find dew point (heavy green line) and wet bulb temp (light blue line). We use SHARPpy for the sounding graphics, which features numerous panels that can be swapped out in the code. Note that while there is a lot of information pertinent to severe weather, we have a simple algorithm that determines whether a sounding profile is "wintry" and will automatically swap out some of that in favor of info like Precip Type, snow growth efficiency, etc. That information is found at the bottom right of the sounding image. If you have any questions or comments/requests, feel free to PM me here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCWX Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Thank you for posting this. My son (14) has in the last year really has got into weather and wants to be a meteorologist very badly. He will spent hours looking up past weather events and studying storm tracks and why they did what they did. What would be his best coarse for getting a jump on things, and what class's should he in high school (Next year) be his main focus? He is a very smart kid. Luckily he loves research, history, and math. Thanks for any advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even something like Economics helps with the thought process of modeling a complex real world.

CAD stands for cold air damming. It is when low level cold air banks up on the east side of the Appalachians. Look for surface high pressure to the northeast keeping a northeast or north wind fetch into the Carolinas. WAA aloft should not dislodge surface cold in that situation, but the surface high must keep pushing in cold air for winter precip. Retreating high press allows WAA at the surface and just regular rain. High resolution models are best, but all models still struggle with it. Finally CAD also occurs along other mountain ranges. The Rockies are notorious for the Plains. However it's normally snow not ice in the High Plains. There the challenge is how much to undercut MOS. Pacific Northwest can have nasty ice events when cold air drains down the Columbia River basin. It is not really CAD west of the mountains, but same principle.

It's an abbreviation for 500mb...the movement and evolution of upper atmosphere waves are big pieces of the puzzle when it comes to forecasting and these are most commonly tracked at the 500mb level (5H or h5). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerchick224 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Hi! Not sure where to put this, so feel free to remove if necessary.I am currently a second grade teacher and have been the past twelve years and I can say I am no longer happy. Weather has always been a passion of mine, and the older I get and the less time I have left, the more I want to go for it.However, math was always a weak spot for me. I noticed with some of the programs I am looking at, a lot of Calculus is necessary. I haven’t taken that type of math in 13 years. For meteorologists on the board, do your have any useful tips or suggestions on how to do well on the math that comes with a weather degree? Thank you in advance. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't answer your question, but wanted to say it's never too late to follow your dreams! My friend of 33 years just graduated nursing school this past summer. At 50 she decided to go for it and will tell you it was the best decision she ever made for herself. Good luck!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have thought about it as well. I think the pandemic has made people realize life is too short and difficult to settle for an unhappy career. I have a B.A. degree but also have trouble in math. UNCA has a good program I know. I just feel like it would be difficult to abandon a career I have spent 8 years in trying to movd up in to start over. Good luck in whatever you decide! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
