Ok, with hurricane season underway, and Louisiana still up a creek sans paddle, I thought it'd be nice to start some serious discussion about that universal idle topic of conversation.
Pretty much anything that's going on involving air and water on our little blue marble should be relevant, but PLEASE for the love of $DEITY avoid arguments about global warming/climate change, or /x/-tier tinfoil like HAARP and "chemtrails". Let's try to keep it concrete, practical, and empirical.
[math]\textbf{Bookmarks}[/math] Most of these are US-centric, but some are more generally applicable. Feel free to share your favorite weather sites.
I'm actually preparing a forecast right now for hikers on the AT. I'll leave it with the bottles of water I usually deliver.

Bumping with love from El Paso, TX. Its raining with a flash flood warning.

this isnt science gtfo

Since when is meteorology not a science?
Sebastian Fisher
What is chaos?
Jackson Wilson
Meteorology is science.

Florida is very overdue for a hurricane. Our last one took my roof clean off. Since then I've been very interested in studying hurricanes. Glad to see this thread.
Now let's just hope that poltards don't come in and spazz out by seeing the words "climate change".

It's the anniversary of Hurricane Andrew today. What a storm that was.
Jace Green
What do meteorology students study? What do they do research on?
Are courses on chaos theory required? Is meteorology very math intensive?
Kevin Sanders
Meteorology is extremely math intensive. Even though you're not physically creating or designing anything, it's basically an engineering field. Wherever you go, you will certainly be required to take calc I,II,and III, diff eqs, stats, phys, chem, plus the classes particular to the major. Most of meteorology is the combination of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, which are perhaps the two most complicated subjects in classical physics.
So if you don't like math and physics, I strongly suggest you run in the other direction.
