Ok so started uni this week and technically I'm doing Biochem, however we have to take an outside modual like a "minor" and I chose to do " Meteorology: Atmosphere and Environmen" which is described as; "An introduction to the physical processes occurring in the Earth's atmosphere. Interpretation of weather maps and satellite images, cloud types and formation, atmospheric structure, thermodynamic processes, rain formation, solar and terrestrial radiation, energy balance at the surface, cumulus and cumulonimbus convection, air pollution."
Anyone get any idea where I could start finding good webpages/resourses to start trying to get my head round this.
God knows why I picked it to be honest.

SOCO are too busy clearning up the gangs in Glasgow City trying to kill eachother, they wont bother with this little town.

The body’s and preserved Burberry caps of neds piled high shall indicate where I went mad and shot the lot of them for stealing our car - and my favourite hoodie was in there as well.

There was one little bugger sitting outside my window last night making strange noises, sounded like it was crying the poor thing.
I live right on the river bank so there are thousands here, take a walk up the pier with a bag of chips and you get attacked. Mind you my friend and I stand at the bottom of the pier just to watch other people do just that and laugh. Poor tourists.

The "balloon" looks an awful lot like a TARDIS!

Yes he is very very good! Been listing for the last hour or so. I'm impressed at how well they've been dealing with prep for the hurricane, seems like they've learned their lesson. Lets hope it's learned for the long term as well, just not this time around.

I would have thought that the fact that these "nano black holes" could be created under lab conditions would also mean they could be destroyed under lab conditions and at the end of the day, even if there was a "nano black hole" at the centre of our planet, it would have the gravitational force of a sub atomic particle, there for a tiny event horizon and therefore unable to have us for dinner wouldn’t it?

I've had Daddy Long Legs flying about since June, we had a massive one in the kitchen last month. Though I haven't seen a sing bee or wasp all summer.

Yip... that's why radiation can sometimes be measured by the Curie. We know much more now, but it doesn't alter the fact that she's... erm... dead.
These black holes are tiny, and in reality aren't really "black holes" in the sense of the monsters lying out in space. They are tiny, were talking smaller than we can even see with electron microscopes. Created in a laboratory they blip in to existence, they blink back out. That is even if they are created. First of all the LHC has to be calibrated and their going to use it to be able to add on an extra decimal point to known measurements to make them more accurate. However, even if these “mini black holes” which really aren’t mini more “nano back holes” are created, they wont last long, the end of the world is not coming from them.
Plus a black hole only has the force of gravity of an object of the same mass. If a black hole had the same mass as our sun, of course that mass would be in a much smaller volume, but it would only have the same force of gravity has out sun. There for anything that’s far enough away, would just orbit the black hole like it would a star.
These “nano black holes” would have the same gravitational force to pull things in as the particle that created it, which would be around 9.1093x10^-31KG which is mind bogglingly small. So it wouldn’t have enough gravitational force to eat the universe, no where near it. The end of the world will not end, even if it does, on the off chance, on the very off change that it does due to some super morphing nano black hole we wouldn’t be around to moan about it.

You do what we did when my friends and I were in London a while back.
Talk loudly in a Glasgow accent, push your way to the carrage window and stand beside it. Though honestly, the London Tube smells better than the Glasgow Subway count yourself lucky on that one.
Welcome To The Netweather USA Storm Chase Group

I'm seriously thinking about going storm chasing in the USA in 2010, I'm starting to save (which is hard when your living off student loans) any advice on how to get started trying to find groups to go with and things. I have no idea where to even start trying to work that out haha!
