The p...I am sorry Kath - just seeing your question. The pure cyclonic rotation I was referring to in the atmospheric frame of reference results from motion on a spinning globe through the Coriolis force. Storms are associated with cyclonic rotation - rising air - use your Coriolis hand, pointing your fingers in the direction of the flow and your thumb points up. Clear skies are associated with anticyclonic rotation - sinking air - less cloud if not clear. The weather can be the friend of us artists in more ways than just on the canvas :>))The Art of Phil Chadwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07100281940213651166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823419872713263839.post-44759719599039142522022-04-03T06:21:02.319-04:002022-04-03T06:21:02.319-04:00I had forgotten about this interview Bruce..

The laws that nature and the real world play by are always true though. If you learn them once... then you are Golden. Singleton Lake just northeast of Lake Ontario.

But, I need to reread everything when you post a new one because whatever I did learn has disappeared. But, rereading is a lot faster as the understanding comes back. Tonight the brain does not hurt. However Google maps doesn’t know where Singleton Lake is, unless it is above L.

For sure, the size of the pattern is related to the amount of angular momentum within the flow - but the growth of the pattern relies greatly on the instability in the cyclonic companion and how much latent heat energy can be release to stretch the vorticity tube. I remember early in this work watching a small curl protrude from under the cirrus deck. That was the first clue that the energy was even there... within 12 hours it was a major storm aided by convection and energy transformations. The NWP in those days would miss convective initiation (and probably still does). My job ws to convince the others on shift that this little bump in the AC cloud shield was important. :>)) Thanks for taking the time to read it Dave. There are about 36 such posts now and I have another 20 or so to go before I will be content.
