It's the elevation that drives weather, commonly referred to as the *jet stream*. I use it when I'm trying to be Tom Skillings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 http://weather.unisys.com/nam/loop/nam_500_loop.html No particular reason......it's just really cool. 500mb is considered the "weather level". It's the elevation that drives weather, commonly referred to as the *jet stream*. I use it when I'm trying to be Tom Skillings. Quite mesmerizing. It's one of those patterns of movement that transcends scale. I've seen the same patterns while looking through a microscope and a telescope and while watching a pan of pasta boil. - Jim Katen, Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlieb Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 But does it raise as many eyebrows as the "other site" I posted? It is a bit mesmerizing and I've never watched pasta boil. Do you need to keep sampling testing for how close to done it is like I have to do when grilling venison sausage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
