Hello.
I'm new here, although I 'd spend some time posting on the now-defunct BBC weather boards during the winter of '05/'06, using (if memory serves) the screen name cpbell or cpbell0033944, only leaving when one of the Farkin/Allen alter-egos started being abusive. I read about NetWeather then, but was intimidated as it was full of experts and, as a dunce, I wasn't sure whether I'd be welcome or not
I'm not at all knowledgeable on things meterological, (I'm a biologist by training - my maths wasn't anywhere near good enough to get into this fascinating subject) and I'll soon be starting postgrad studies so I won't be able to post that often. However, I'm enthusiastic and would like to understand the weather better than I do now, and, to that end, I've started reading the guides. However, I'm now confused. In the guide entitled "The Mechanism Behind a Sea Breeze", johnholmes states
however, in the Learners Area, when Avain asks about how Lows and Highs Affect each other, Full Frontal Occlusion says
and these two statements seem to me to contradict each other. With memories of GCSE Physics being baffling, I found a kid's revision guide, where it states that Charles' Law shows that pressure and temperature are proportionally-related, which suggests that FullFrontal Occlusion is right.
Can anyone please enlighten me?
