Meteorology(climate)

oh tat makes so much more since

[soobsession]

ok...good

[pjgscioisamazing]

so the tilt gives us longer/hotter days???

Well since longer/hotter days are associated with summer, and the reason for teh seasons is the tilt, then yes, the tilt is what gives us teh longer/hotter days.

yup. thats true...ill try to make a picture

......../.........(''S'')
(''E'')
/

ok...ignore the dots. E is obviously earth, S is sun
the slashes is the axis...you can imaging the equator being kinda diagonalish...like that---> \ kinda slanting that way a little
now picture the suns rays....the energy of the rays will be most concentrated where you see the red quotes...so its summmer in the norther hemisphere...the energy will be more spread out on the E <-- that part of the E, resulting in winter in the southern hemisphere

erm....did that make any sense?

Thanks for making a picture lol

[doctor]

yeah but y did u have the dots?
couldn't u use spaces instead??
or gotten a picture from google?

[soobsession]

i was too lazy to search google

[doctor]

it's better than what i could do
i fail at making pictures with keyboard symbols

First of all, I have not met a single fair and square procter yet. In fact, my meteorology test asked us to find the air pressure, temperature, dew point, cloudiness, wind speed, and wind direction from a diagram which we did not know how to interpret at the time (now we do) when the ruled clearly stated that the 2009 Meteorology topic would emphasize climate and climate change, not weather. So be ready for anything and studying outside of the rules is also a really good idea.

Wow. Most of my events that I have taken at competitions have stuck to the rules well. MY regional meteorology test was GREAT, and luckily the guy who wrote our regional test I believe is writing my state event

You are very lucky.
Does anyone know what albedo is?

search on google

Does any one know how specific the questions will be (on a state test ) for semi-permanent pressure cells?

thnx.

tat will depend on the person making the test but it will probably be as specific as the questions on the test i gave u
