    Energy question on Weather/Atmospheric

    This may be too difficult for the introductory forum... so I moved this here (this is college-level material) I can't quite figure this out... but given this sceneraio: Precipitation and energy can be thought of as closely related quaniities in a thunderstorm. That is, when rain forms via...

    The Amount of Energy released by a tropical thunderstorm

    I can't quite figure this out... but given this sceneraio: Precipitation and energy can be thought of as closely related quaniities in a thunderstorm. That is, when rain forms via condensation, the atmosphere warms from the latent heat released. The amount of heat energy must be proportional to...

    What is Dimensional Analysis in Atmospheric Science?

    It's been three semesters since I was last required to do a dimensional analysis problem, and I could use a little help here. Just know that the subscript notices come before the variables. In this case, [B]the final set of units must work out to be W/m^2[B]. The equations are: a)Q(sub)s=...
