I've been a broadcast meteorologist on television since the early 1990's. Happy to answer any questions about the weather or local TV news. Yes, I often wear sneakers on set just out of view of the camera.
Great question, Melinda. In addition to the Coriolis Effect there is vertical motion known as a Hadley cells, rising and sinking air, creating something of a "loop". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadley_cell Hope that helps Thanks!

Interesting question. The weather (and climate) system is largely driven by uneven heating of the earth and has never really been in balance, so swings in patterns have always gone on and there is no real "normal". Also, things that don't happen regularly will affect the weather pattern, even a volcano eruption can limit incoming solar radiation over large areas.

I'm going to say "real". Shot with a wide lens and color enhanced in something like Photoshop. Great stuff!

Excellent question...and a very difficult one to answer. If we followed a raindrop from the a cloud to a puddle after a rainstorm and it evaporated right away we could say the cycle was only a few hours. A raindrop that fell in the southern Rocky Mountains might travel underground to the Rio Grande River and then the the Gulf of Mexico and evaporate there could take weeks or more. Very good question...great thinkers in your class! Keep up the good work!

Interesting question, Jay. I'm afraid that is out of my area of expertise. Might be a question for someone in the medical field.

Hi, Courtnee! I first studied Radio-TV-Film at Texas Christian University, then Broadcast Meteorology at Mississippi State. I think you might have some trouble getting into weather with a geology degree. You might ask for some advice and a visit from a local television station and/or National Weather Service office (weather.gov). Good luck!
