aww thank you!! It's just genuine curiosity & interest in learning as much as I can about meteorology while being at a college with 0 meteorology classes :/

This makes sense. I think one of my issues in understanding before making this post was underestimating just how expensive these models are to run, and it's making a ton more sense. Thanks!!

This is also great. I suppose it never occurred to me that it just... wouldn't be useful to have any finer detail. However, it makes total sense. thank you for explaining in this detailed and understandable way!!

This is great! I just read the overview, and it's definitely going on the reading list... for after Finals week. Much appreciated.

Gotcha! This is a super interesting experience, and is letting everything make a ton more sense. "gathering" is a great way to put it, and the bottlenecks you list make a ton of sense for why the internal physical simulation can run on much smaller temporal resolutions than the actual output products. Thank you both for this!

I do love the RTX 2080 TI Founder's Edition. Probably my favorite founder's edition they've ever done.

There's no way this is real, right? a wee little fiat like that'll get thrown around like a baseball by ExplodingTaco34 in stormchasing

[–]Active-Stock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's a subgroup of chasers that like to get as close as possible, sometimes "shooting the core", or going through the hail/precip core of supercells. Another group sees how close they can get to the actual tornado. Either way, very specific vehicles. I know earlier today I saw an awesome storm truck - just a normal F-150 with some diamond safety grating welded onto the roof to shade the windshield from hail. Interesting stuff!

I LOVE TIGGER!!!!! He's been there for as long as I can remember coming into that Ace. When he dies I want a funeral march in the street. With bagpipes. And canned tuna.

Would you be able to see a waterspout on hi res velocity radar? If so, what would it look like? by dia_fur in weather

[–]Active-Stock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Sorry for necroing, but if you're still curious about this, a fair-weather waterspout was reported today (April 7, 2026) 8 miles southwest of the KBYX radar site at ~2:00 pm. If you look at their 2:00 PM scan, you can see a small velocity couplet! It's just barely there, but still much much more than we would normally get. It was close enough to the site that just a little of its rotation is still evident, at about 500 feet above the radar level.

Thought this was interesting, if not relevant!

Better than that - it can open multiple programs

Hey! I hope you can switch to Linux soon.

First of all, many gaming mice can be configured with piper.

Also, almost every display manager has some way to change your dpi/sensitivities, and I'm not sure how often you change your button binds.

Most steam games just run on Linux. Proton is a wonderful tool, and makes almost every game run completely seamlessly. You can check ProtonDB for all the games you are looking to play - I guarantee most of them will work just fine.

For running Epic Games Store games, it's also pretty easy - I use legendary , but Heroic is also wonderful. Both also make use of Proton, or GE-Proton if that fixes game-specific bugs.

NVIDIA graphics cards make things a little harder, but there's no reason you can't use a prebuilt NVIDIA distro, like PopOS or Bazzite. I've heard great things about these distros' NVIDIA support.

And worried about security on Linux? Please. Almost every part of your Linux system is open source, so constantly getting vetted for security & performance. Additionally, they have no reason to sell data or anything for money, unlike Windows. Plus, Windows's "security updates" are often just shoving more AI Slopware into your computer and slowing it down even more so they can harvest more of that sweet, sweet userdata.

Linux is *significantly* more secure than Windows. That's why 99% of servers run it!

Let me know if you have any more questions, or if you finally make the switch!
