 Weather links
My
weather links groups the
most useful free tools on the net, to monitor earth's constant
changes.
To get a clear bird's eye vie of the earth's current
state, we had to go from website to website collecting
weather information.
The weather is referred to as a set of all extant phenomena in
a given atmosphere at a given time. It also includes interactions
with the hydrosphere.
The term weather usually refers to the activity of
these phenomena over short periods (hours or days), as opposed to the term
climate, which refers to the average atmospheric conditions over longer
periods of time.
Our
weather links monitors earth's
common
phenomena include such things as wind, cloud, rain, snow, fog and dust storms.
Less common events include natural disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes and
ice storms. Almost all the
weather phenomena occurs in
the troposphere that isthe lower part of the atmosphere.
Weather
is the fundamental process that shapes the Earth. The process of weathering
is constantly breaking down rocks and soils into smaller fragments and then into their
constituent substances. These start some chemical reactions
that can affect the surface further, or are reformed into other
rocks and soils.
The climate is a chaotic system, so
small changes to one part of the system can have large effects on the
system as a whole. This makes it difficult to forcast
weather
more than a few days in advance, though
weather forecasters and
technology are
continually working to extend this limit through the scientific study of meteorology. It is impossible to make
predictions more than two weeks in advance, limiting the
potential for improved long term prediction skill. Chaos theory states that the
slightest variation in the motion of the ground can grow with time. This idea is
called the butterfly effect, from the idea that the motions caused by the
flapping wings of a butterfly eventually could produce marked changes in the
the atmosphere. Because of this chaos theory, we will
never make perfect forecasts predictions, although there is allot of room for
improvement.
Weather
Forecasting refers mostly to a two-day
weather forecast. The
information consist mostly of temperature readings for the daytime high, and night time low.
Other more specific forecast will include marine information as tides, wind and
sea conditions.
Weather
forecasting is the combination and application of science and technology to predict
changes of
the atmosphere at a future time. Prior to the use of scientific methods of
weather
forecasting, allot of
weather folklore was developed to explain the
weather.
Today,
weather forecasts are made
by collecting digital data that describe the current state of some of the atmosphere
most relevant elements like temperature, humidity and wind. By using software
capable of calculating huge amounts of physically-based
mathematical models, they can determine how the atmosphere is expected to change in the
future. The chaotic nature of our atmosphere will certainly guarantee that we
will never achieve a perfect forecast. It is just impossible to achieve a
perfect forcast.
