Ginx snewx Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Are there more fires burning or something? It's insanely hazy with a nice pink sunset in progress.lots of haze reports, Yankees are burning up Fenway, maybe that's it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 lots of haze reports, Yankees are burning up Fenway, maybe that's it fairly smoky up here in NH all day. I assume its from the fires out west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 You talking August '75? I'm pretty sure winds were more WNW during the afternoon in that one at ORH. There's those spots like EWB/TAN got over 105F. May 26, 2010 is a good one...NNW flow and only 2F cooler than PVD/TAN...5F cooler than BDL, and tied with BOS. I am pretty sure it hit 100 that day at ACK. I remember walking around stark naked in my south end apartment watching naked ladies across the way. Keep in mind I was 40 years younger than now. The next day, a bd knocked BOS down to the low 60s and my significant other and kept naked but got busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Yeah Princeton is a bit pricier than other surrounding towns...but when you compare it to metrowest Boston, it is still very affordable. You just can't get a 3000 sq foot colonial for like 240,000 there like you can in Ashburnham or Westminster, lol.I find the roads in Princeton to be annoying. Too much meandering I would prefer Westminster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Yeah that's why I'm zoning in on that town. Megan works in Walpole...easy commute down 495 for her. Commuter rail just up the road in Ashland for me (like 5 minute drive). Plus, getting back into the ORH hills over 500 feet is important. I will probably have less time to go back to ORH as much as I have done in the past couple winters if I have kids, lol...so I gotta shore up that problem. Is she at the high school there? My dad taught there for 20+ years until he died Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I was just reading through my Intro to met book and doing the problems for fun since nothing was assigned but I ran into a block and it's b/c of a word problem :/ A station near the equator has a sfc temp of 25C. Vertical soundings reveal an environmental lapse rate of 6.5 C/KM and indicate that the tropopause is encountered at 16km. What is the temp at the tropopause? Do i multiply 6.5 by 16 which = 104 and subtract 104 from 25 = -79C??? I've always been terrible at word problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Holy crap really?? wow I'm shocked Yep. With a tropopause so high up, many times you have deep convection with the tops of clouds easily that cold. Believe it or not, if you were to go up into the atmosphere....say 60,000ft....it is probably colder 60,000ft above Miami then it is 60,000ft above a place like Goose Bay Ontario or something. The reason being is the tropopause is much lower, further north. Once you get above the tropopause, lapse rates reverse unlike in the troposphere where temperature always decreases with height. You can compare soundings and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Would the lapse rate be linear like that? Or does it matter and it is an average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew the tropopause varied at different latitudes and such but reading about the reasoning behind it is really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Would the lapse rate be linear like that? Or does it matter and it is an average In real life it would vary as you travel up, but it was simplified to say environment lapse sounding. Just the average I guess...is what they imply.

weatherwiz Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Would the lapse rate be linear like that? Or does it matter and it is an average I guess the average environmental lapse rate is 6.5 C/km but that obviously depends on atmospheric conditions. In the example used though it's assumed the average is 6.5 Or, he could look at a skew-t log-p diagram I did look at an example of a pic in the book which showed a thermal profile and such and I compared what I got for the height to the pic and it was in the ballpark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman21 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Found out I was only 128 ft on that map, what a pit. 46 ft lower than BDL. Hey you could be at zero like me, or just above zero. Nice elevation out by the airport (HPN) though. Considering moving to back country to gain at least a few hundred feet elevation and several miles of buffer from the sound.

Tempting but more expensive and less convenient for a big family with little ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
