Dude you’re super talented when it comes to making easy visualizations of hard concepts. I appreciate all the time and effort you put into making these!!

This is an amazing and easy-to-understand animation of the vorticity concept. I do enjoy dynamic meteorology but, aside from the difficult maths, I often struggled to imagine or explain the physical interpretation of some equations. Animations like this would have been helpful.

very neat. I'd love to see these graphics for something like a warm front discussed!

Hi Sam! I have a question that is not really related to what you showed; Is Elevated Convection prone to strong wind gusts in the Lower Layers? Many thanks

Because elevated convection sits atop a stable layer, they are less likely to produce strong wind gusts at the surface. Surface based storms with high cloud base heights, however, are prone to strong wind gusts due to steep low-level lapses rates and evaporational cooling
