Add Meteorology Forum to PF: Weather & Earth

AI Thread Summary
The discussion advocates for the creation of a dedicated Meteorology forum within the existing PF structure, highlighting the field's relevance and interest. Participants note the current Earth forum primarily focuses on geology, suggesting a gap for meteorological topics. There is a recognition of a lack of visibility for existing meteorology threads, which could indicate a need for better categorization. The idea is that if mentors observe a significant number of meteorology discussions, they might push for a separate forum. Establishing this forum could enhance engagement and provide a focused space for weather-related discussions.

I haven't seen that many meteorology threads. Perhaps I'm not looking for them, but I think if the mentors noticed a sufficient amount of those threads they'd request a separate forum.

Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
