You have to know famous hurricanes.starshine wrote:No, it's fine! And sometimes those scenarios are opinionated. Just wondering, that's all.FueL wrote:@starshine: Yeah, it's good to know what to do if you're caught in severe weather. I don't remember last year's test too well, so I'm not that much of a help. XD
Do we have to know major severe weather events?

Off the top of my head, the tornado Super Outbreak in the 1970's. I doubt they'd ask for famous floods though.starshine wrote:Any famous tornado outbreaks/floods/etc?skillfullparrot7 wrote:You have to know famous hurricanes.
ornithology, forestry, entomology, triple E, green generation, water quality, dynamic planet (lakes & rivers), awesome aquifers, meteorology, robot arm, write it do it. :)

April 1974, I forgot the actual date. I don't know any famous floods, so that's good.FueL wrote:Off the top of my head, the tornado Super Outbreak in the 1970's.

Do we need to know how to read/make station models? I know how to, but I'm not very good at them. I believe those would be in the category of Everyday Weather...

Re: Meteorology B
You do need to know how to make and interpret weather stations. They are in everyday weather, but if you look at section a. in the rules you will see that most of that is everyday weather.starshine wrote:April 1974, I forgot the actual date. I don't know any famous floods, so that's good.

Oh ok. That makes sense. Does anyone know what a lightning direction finder is?skillfullparrot7 wrote:You do need to know how to make and interpret weather stations.

And if anyone is doing Compute This and Meteorology, is it helping you in both events?

Re: Meteorology B
I know, but I'm quite sure that lightning direction finders are not explained in the wiki.LivinOnTheEdge1001 wrote:wiki does help for this event
As well as knowing if Compute This helps Meteorology and vice versa.
