What all is the Bomb Cyclone I know a lot of people talk about it.

Asked by My name is not Harry Potter about 6 years ago

Great question. A bomb cyclone is a rapidly strengthening low pressure area. In general it is defined by a central pressure drop of at least 24 millibars in 24 hours. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosive_cyclogenesis

Purely out of curiosity do you read other people’s q&as or even ask questions?

Asked by Ozark was over 5 years ago

Very interesting question. From time to time I do look at the most recent few posts and look at a few answers. Oddly don’t think I’ve ever posted a question! Probably should change that. Thanks, Ozark!

With all due respect I heard that newer people who go into certain stations are not as qualified as some of the older guys. Is this true, false, unknown ,or can you even comment?

Asked by The man about 6 years ago

No offense taken! I would say this is true in any job or industry. More years usually means more experience!

Why have some scientists argued that the current rise in global temperature is causing an increase in magnitude, frequency, and duration of hurricanes

Asked by girlstarsccr about 6 years ago

Complicated question. The fuel for tropical systems is warm surface water in the ocean. Since the ocean and the atmosphere are connected a warmer atmosphere will create warmer oceans which adds up to more fuel. Hope that helps. Thanks!

Is "Tornado Alert" still a thing?

Asked by Carlene about 6 years ago

Hi, Carlene. Need a little more context, please.

Do you overreact when there is a low risk tornado watch and act like its the end of the world?

Asked by A man named Sue almost 6 years ago

Well...I sure try not to do that. Most of us try to create awareness rather than anxiety over severe weather.

What was your worst day on the job?

Asked by Sam about 6 years ago

Hmmm...any day with tornadoes is interesting. Severe weather is always fascinating to watch but the idea of loss of life always lingers in the back of your mind. Thanks for the question, Sam.
