What atmospheric layer are the nimbostratus clouds in? What climate models predict Earth's furture? How do topographic maps differ from other maps? What are global climate models? Storms occur at what fronts? What tracks the location movement and amount of precipitation in storms?
Roll clouds are rare, but by no means unheard of. They can form on the leading edge of cold fronts with just the right amount of humidity present. They tend to occur when there's not enough moisture to trigger rain or thunderstorms, but just enough water vapor to condense into an opaque...
By Day 3, the backdoor front pushed rather far to the west before stalling out along the Appalachian Mountains from Western New York to Western Virginia. Backdoor cold fronts are generally "shallow" in nature, with much of the colder, maritime air only extending a few thousand feet above th...
What scares me most about the conditions that can be produced by warm fronts is the wind speeds. When I was little, I was staying with my aunt one night and a storm came up. The wind was loud and we heard several loud noises during the night. When we went outside the next morning ...
Make no mistake - walking the lofty path of commitment is the exact opposite of having one's head in the clouds! It means being grounded in a realistic obligation to the breed, to the sport, and most of all, to personal standards of integrity. WHAT IS A BREEDER? Webster's gives us ...

Suddenly into the midst of these reflections there glanced a picture so vivid that it almost took away her breath, as the train steamed past a pack of hounds in full cry, followed by a galloping throng of scarlet-coated huntsmen. One horse and rider were in the air, going over a wall...
this will make the task of eventually making Russia a responsible international partner much, much harder. When clouds have cleared and the spectre of totalitarianism removed, we will need a Marshall plan for Russia. The long-term risk to international society stemming from the rape of Ukraine is...
(clear sky? clouds?). and third, you almost never get the full protection of the spf listed on the label. why? many reasons, the simplest of which is: few of us, studies show, apply as much sunscreen as they use in the official test, 2 milligrams per square centimeter of skin. ...
above: typical zonal (red) and meridional (orange) jet stream paths superimposed on part of the Northern Hemisphere. Extreme meridionality can bring very cold air flooding a long way south from the Arctic while warm air is able in a different sector to force its way into the far north. Th...
