Meteorology B

[turnageweather]

Water Vapor imagery has similar properties to IR, but it's also very sensitive to the presence of water vapor. Because upper jet streams often separate dry air from more "humid" air aloft, WV imagery is particularly good at locating jet streams. IR imagery, on the other hand, is just seeing temperatures associated with liquid or solid features (for example, the tops of thick clouds or the earth's surface in the absence of clouds). WV imagery rarely sees the ground well, even when it's cloud-free. This is because it's detecting water vapor above the ground instead.

learn some Precalc

for meteo?

There was a sinusoidal wave model on the DP test at Jeffrey Trail Invitational and she freaked out about it.

isnt that a little advanced for B div DP tho?
pls dont tell me i need to math math is scary

[LiteralRhinoceros]

yeah it is
just bashing tho right?

The question was something like:
Mean sea level is 6 ft, semidiurnal tide with time from low to high being 6 hours, what's is the cosine function to model this if high tide is 4 AM and t=0 is midnight. It was a multiple choice question.
h(t) = 3*cos[π/6(t-4)]+6

I would look at sine and cosine functions and look at transforming functions and come up with some practice problems like the above to figure out how to apply them.

I've only taken Everyday Weather and Severe Storms and was wondering what would appear on Climate next year.
I am going to stay in Div B and not move to the high school team like our other team members are
tectonics and climate sound fun, but I probably have to do DP by myself, unless I get a new partner

I just looked at it, and next year will probably excite me the most for sure!
As much as I love SS and Everyday weather, I think next year will be easier for me.

I've only done Everyday Weather and Severe Storms too, but probably like Köppen Classification and stuff like that. I'd look at the Climate rules from 2017-18, as the topics are usually very similar.

omggggggg climate was so much fun!!!!! i only did it for half a year (i joined late my 6th grade year) but i honestly think its the most fun topic! for a time i considered coming back as a 9th grader purely to do it lol. i would agree with DerechosRYummy that the rules will probably be p similar. glaciers and climate also cover a lot of the same info. (because glaciers have such a heavy effect on climate) the other notable thing is that while you can probably get by in SS if you were p good at everyday weather, climate seems the most different. also about DP, while partners are nice, if you really love it, you can definitely be successful soloing in B division. rip my 6th grade partner whos there just to do math because i cant do simple addition lol.
