AccuWeather.com Snowpocalypse Now! Meteorologist Freakout

AccuWeather.com forecast video for the coming Snowpocalypse in the DC/Baltimore area shows meteorologist Jim Kosek freaking out a little about the storm. Oh boy. This is no joke, people!

Anticyclones are basically the opposite of cyclones (Greek prefix, anti, means opposite). Cyclones are areas of surface convergence and upper level divergence, and since anticyclones are the exact opposite, anticyclones are areas of surface divergence and upper level convergence. A cyclone is formed as a result of expanding, rising, and unstable air caused by heating. However as volume increases, the temperature decreases. According to Charles law, at a constant pressure, volume varies directly with absolute temperature. But still, why is it that when the volume increases, the expanding airs temperature decreases. According to the Kinetic theory, gas molecules are in constant random motion, and thus move hither and thither. Now in most cases, heat is energy, and when heat is added into a reaction, it often acts as a catalyst. Hence, the gas molecules move faster and take up more space as they move at higher velocities, increasing the volume. So now one liter of the air parcel would now occupy more space than it did previously. Moreover as the gas molecules move faster, they interact and bounce off each other more. As they bounce off each other, they transport some of that energy to each other, but some of that energy is also released in to the ambient air (Latent heat), causing a loss of energy. It is in a sense, semi-nuclear fusion phenomena. They then become cooler as they lose energy, and if the air contains ample water vapor, it would actually condense into clouds

    He is an actual legend

  26. narragansettharco says:

    Energy sources without the need for fuel or energy input exist ,But a few ppl make too many billions from our energy needs to let this technology be known,Get a motor that needs no gas or electric input at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Let the revolution begin!

  27. Laikastar1 says:

    Hi, I liked it too but also found some of the words hard to understand, could you do it again? but extremely good choice of material

  28. robwilli4546 says:

    Free inexhaustible energy is real!But some very powerfull ppl don’t want you and me to be free from energy costs,Get the blueprints for a free energy motor at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Let the revolution begin!

  29. cadentavaricegrtrj says:

    Free Energy is real and its here! The Oil companies are doing everything they can to stop these

    information. If you want a Free energy machine , get the blueprints at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM , Join the

    revolution!

  30. closetgun says:

    Thanks! i’m taking Geog 1000 and you have helped a ton!!!

  31. bananatea says:

    @momorgoth the ferrel cell is a byproduct of the hadley and polar cell. i think its needed to differentiate between the different atmospheric processes in different latitudes haha. im damn stressed with studying now ):

  32. SlayerZaraki says:

    Very informative. I also like the fact that you used music from Chrono Cross. >_>

  33. archiemutoc says:

    what are the general properties of anticyclones??

  34. sahir0jaan says:

    Welldone good job thx for sharing

    thanks! am learning this for gcse and it helped a lot!

  40. Reality9O says:

    good video but try being a bit more clear when you speak…your accent can be hard to understand.

  41. momorgoth says:

    Thanks a lot. I’m a highschool science teacher and this year, the notion of coriolis effect and wind cells have been added. Your video helps a lot.
    Still I don’t understand why there is a Ferrel cell instead of simply the polar and subtropical cells?
    Also, how is subtropical high responsible of creating more frequent hurricanes?

  42. Fraw24 says:

    @Fraw24 Although the text solved this problem ofc.

  43. Fraw24 says:

    Great video really helped me get my head around some stuff. A little constructive criticism though, sometimes your accent is a little hard to understand :-)

  44. yogaguy1000 says:

    Absolutely Fabulous. Great Instruction!

  45. katinder says:

    Great and very informative!
