Physics with trees, Period 1, 17 Sep '08
Inside the classroom it was sunny with 33% cloud cover, with a cool north-easterly breeze of only a few kilometers an hour running off a incipient cold front. The pressure had risen a few bars and the humidity dropped a little by the time class assembled.
"Meteorology," said Mohinder, "The study of atmospheric conditions with the purpose of engaging in forecasting future weather conditions. An impractical ideal perhaps, but with enough accuracy to avoid denying a hurricane. The chaotic nature of our multi-particulate atmosphere and oceanic system gives us an inherent uncertainty in weather forecasting," he went on, describing ensemble forecasting and numerical prediction.
"Despite the computing power needed for this analysis, meteorology is still dependent on observation from thousands of weather stations," said Mohinder, gesturing at the rain gauges, barometers, therometers and other equipment, each grouped around a desk. "There are handouts if you need more details of the equipment. And of course, plenty of weather to observe," he finished. Mohinder pushed the silver button centred in one of the desks and a dark, crackling cloud formed high above it.
