storms Definition and 33 Threads

I searched, "is infinity possible?" Because I was coming up with some thoughts which seemed logical (I hope) so I was compelled to find others discussing the topic to see if I even came close to several different answers.

How did you find PF?: Via Google search From what I understand in scientific publications, if there is a strong solar storm directed towards the Earth, the effects would be such that any electronic equipment would suffer irreparable damage. I ask, if I put my computer inside a Faraday cage...

When we hear the word storm, we think of the threats that it brings and the damage it might leave behind. I like this video, because it shows the spectacular sky shows that come with storms. They are surely one of our most magnificent displays of nature.

I just watched this beautiful video about resonance frequencies and saw a pattern (the pattern at 1:25) , that reminded me of the pole storms on jupiter: Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/ASI/INAF/JIRA Could it be that some resonance frequencies on the pole of Jupiter are the reason why...

The article I first read which discusses this topic is: "IDing Mars' Dust" by Dale Keiger Johns Hopkins Magazine Volume 70, Number 4, Winter 2018 Page 20 The principle researchers are Assistant Professor Kevin Lewis of Earth and planetary sciences in the Krieger School, and postdoctoral fellow...

Thursday 20th Dec, will be known for one the most costly storm damage days in Sydney area in the last 20 years. One insurance company alone has stated it had so far received ~ 125,000 claims for hail, wind and flooding damage. Hail up to grapefruit size, golfball and tennis ball size was common...

A nice looking LP (Low Precip) rotating cell passed over home an hour ago... West Ryde, NSW, Australia Dave

hi guys Some serious storms from West Ryde, NSW, Australia today, 15 Dec 2018 from home and wharf at end of my street. The lightning strikes are frame grabs from video All images from a Canon 6D

This session started off as a lot of large and reasonably individual cells but as they merged, they morphed into a 800 kilometre long storm line that stretched across the eastern side of the state of NSW ( New South Wales). Intense CG ( Cloud to Ground) lightning as it approached from the west...

the last couple of days, 17th and 18th Oct have produced some severe thunderstorms in the Sydney basin and surrounding region. Here's several photos I did from yesterday's activity from my work place in western Sydney ( out towards Penrith) Intense lightning, heavy rain and surface flooding and...

I know, in our solar system, the asteroid belt is very rare, and the rings of Saturn is thin. But can dense asteroid clouds exist elsewhere? For example in a binary star system, where constant changing of gravity prevent the forming of a planet from chunks?

Here is a scenario to further explain. Let's say I am traveling inside of a submarine. I travel within a depth of 100 to 600 feet deep or 4 to 19 atmospheres. How would I and my submarine be affected if there were a hurricane, tsunami, or hurricane above the ocean. Furthermore, does the...

Hello all, Could desertification exacerbate dust storms so much, and thereby destroy agriculture on earth? (due to the drop in temperature and sunlight) Also, under what kind of circumstances would desertification spread so much so that all plants on Earth would become extinct? If such a thing...

Recently I read a book about Mars, and it says that global sandstorm blows from southern hemisphere to northern hemisphere at perihelion. It's because the southern part is more heated at that position and the closer distance to sun gives it a high temperature, thus sublimating large amount CO2...

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/10/151026112106.htm Will a solar storm hit us soon, or was this a one off event

I know the Great Red Spot on Jupiter is much larger than the white ovals. However I'm curious as to how much mass the white oval storms would have compared to say the Earth. I know they're ovals and from what I've seen they're about 9,000 km long and 5,000 km wide which if I paid attention means...

There is an episode of 'The Magic of Science' on the Discovery Channel that features a device called a hail cannon which uses the force of a vortex of air blasted out of a tube by an oxygen-acetylene explosion to move objects and it was mentioned by a cast member of the show that this device can...

I am not referring to solar winds, just normal adverse atmospheric conditions. Thank you Regards

Does anyone have any suggestions whether proton or electron or other is shooting outward from the Sun during the Geomagnetic Storms? Thanks in advance for any suggestions

I found a recent article suggesting that solar storms predicted in in the next few years pose a serious threat to the electrical grid and thus to nuclear plant cooling systems: "Severe Solar Storms Could Disrupt Earth This Decade: NOAA," International Business Times...

How is sound and electrical energy generated in a thunder storm? i know that in thunder storms large amounts of energy is released when the water vapour in the clouds condenses into water,but that is supposed to be in the form of heat energy (the same heat energy that was absorbed by the water...

Does the Van Allen Belt dipping closer to the Earth at the South Atlantic Anomaly mean the Earth's surface underneath (like South-Eastern Brazil) is more exposed to solar storms..? My terminology might be slightly-off here: do Singular proton events (SPEs) affect the SAA area more as the...

Large tropical storms can have dramatic effects on coastal, estuarine, and terrestrial ecosystems. The combination of high winds and intense precipitation deposits a large amount of leaves, branches, and mud as well as pollutants into the streams killing some of the living organisms in the...

I have heard that a significant coronal mass ejection or solar storm can knock out the power grid. Can such an event damage all types of electronics making anything with a circuit board useless? Would motorcycles with magnetos still run? (I might ask this question in an electrical engineer...

Apparantly, an incredibly intense electrical storm develloped during the eruption, giving some spectacular light effects during the night http://www.nuestroclima.com/blog/?p=1003

http://www.saturndaily.com/reports/NASA_Spacecraft_Tracks_Raging_Saturn_Storm_999.html What puzzles me is why they refer the storm as electrical. What is different between storm on Earth and those distant electrical storms?

Back in the early days of telegraph and telephone lines, electromagnetic storms emanating from the sun shut down communications services over land lines. As the decades progressed, solar storms no longer affected those lines. What engineering change was made to land lines to insulate them...

A tropical storm is named if a storm has winds that exceed 39 MPH and it makes news. 39 MPH winds are really common here on the plains. We routinely have storms here with sustained winds of 60-70 MPH, but they don't get named and they don't make the news. Right now we have a storm with...

I seem to attract these, the worst of which was baseball sized hail that only hit my neighborhood a few years ago. I was in the kitchen tonight when I heard thunder and saw that a black cloud was directly over me and nowhere else, there was blue sky all around. I kept telling T_E that I...

Hi ppl. I am currently doing a project on solar storm and its requirement includes coming out with proposed ideas/theory and investigations. So, I am just trying my luck here to see if you guys have any weird thoughts about solar storm. E.g. how to predict solar storm better, how to protect...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4842734.stm" I'm miffed.

For some reason I keep getting disconnected whenever a storm is nearby. Its lightning outside pretty bad, but the power is not affected, instead the effect is limited to the phone line only. Is the lightning short-circuiting the phone line? Or is it something local? I'm having a difficult...
