Very Good. For years we have seen and listened to weathermen talk about hi and low and never said a damn thing that truly informed us about hi and low pressure! This guy just put everything into perspective in under 4 minutes!

I am electronics and telecomm Engineer and this subject is not any kind related to my career, but i love meteorology, weather, storms, rain..so i watched this..
This just made it click for me. I could not figure out why air would be traveling down into something that was already high pressure, and traveling away from low pressure; it seemed like it should be the opposite. No other video I'd watched yet explained the 3D component and now suddenly it makes sense. Thank you!
Jesus, I took a meteorology class in high school and always wondered why high pressure is good weather etc but only years later do I discover this video and actually understand...
If I got it right, this would also mean that wind shear (18.000 feet and above) is one of the factors affecting or influencing the development of high and low pressure systems? Because on the other hand, convergence or divergence winds (southeast or northeast trade wind e.g.) are winds which occur at sea level and these are the winds which also rush towards low systems and blow away from high systems...
I really benefited from this because it is like a video of all the weather theory contained in the FAA manuals that I am reading. Kudos to Scott for this.Are there videos on pressure altitude in non-standard atmospheric conditions?
Good job! You helped a lot. Still trying to find explanation from another source. They claim that smoke from a camp fire goes straight up indicates high pressure but if it lingers and spreads out it's low pressure. I'd think it's the opposite. Any thoughts?
Randall Hessian not too sure how this was random, they have scripts, read off teleprompters and are given time to get the slides and proper information ready. Plus I wouldn’t be surprised if this man, a educated weatherman, would already know a little bit about the jet stream, which influences the weather patterns across the entire globe
The direction of circulation of the low and high that he explains are only true in the northern hemisphere - in the southern hemisphere they are reversed. Highs are counterclockwise and lows are clockwise
Oh it gets waaay more interesting than this if you become a meteorologist. It's really cool tho--very rewarding to see "why" stuff happens--and it makes sense! See how excited he got teaching it lol. if you learn principles and the fundamentals, you'll be fine. Can't learn everything in a day.
It is a great explanation however I do not really understand the word that he is saying "gestin wind aloft". Can someone please clarify the word with me? Thank you
I explain it to my students like this: There are two locations: Surface (the air near the ground) and Aloft (the air higher up in the atmosphere). Something I’ve learned though is that a student wants a less vague definition of Aloft. In Meteorology, Aloft can mean anything so long as it’s not at the surface, so it’s hard to commit to a more firm definition. For the purpose of what he’s talking about in this video, Aloft represents the Tropopause, which is where the jet stream is present. The height of the tropopause varies, but I usually say it’s around 11 Kilometers, or about 36,000 feet... about the height that planes would fly.

Jinlue Song Most models show a vertical convergence of descending mass circulation cells. I'm assuming the Coriolis force converts movement into a horizontal vector.
Coriolis force in the northern hemisphere makes the winds turn right of the lowering pressure levels -- otherwise we'd have winds constantly from the south to north (look at a 500 mb height contour map to see what I mean). The "turned" winds are called geostrophic winds... but it gets more complicated than that when you start to consider vorticity, ageostrophic motions, jet streaks, cold pooling aloft... etc.
I thought I knew about this stuff. seems to have changed since I was a kid. Baro drops you get rain baro rises you get sun you get the point. but why does it seem to clear up and we get less rain when the baro drops? yes I said drops. I have a chart of the baro readings and the rain gets less and less of a chance. for a example look here well it wouldn't let me list it. anyways the baro goes down and the rain goes away. signed confused

WAYNE'S-WORLD me too!
Dude!!! Learned more in 3 1/2 minutes about weather than I have my entire life
Thank you very much, Scott. My entire Weather/Climate class at UW Madison is using this because we can't understand our prof.
get your prof to watch it, then he/she can explain it too, thus earning the money

Really brilliant transparent explanation. Bottom line the jet streams lead the weather.
Great video! Thank you.
thank u sir...for teaching
thanks from Hungary!
Great explanation, thanks:)
Awesome explanation man.thankyou.

Thanks. I'll try to check it out later. I do have those weather theory ebooks from the FAA.. Very informative.

awesome 😇.
Good job! You helped a lot. Still trying to find explanation from another source. They claim that smoke from a camp fire goes straight up indicates high pressure but if it lingers and spreads out it's low pressure. I'd think it's the opposite. Any thoughts?
If the air is more dense, the smoke will be more buoyant. Higher pressure is more dense. Probably not that simple though.
One of my faves.
I can't believe there are 14 people that had the nerve to click the "dislike" thumps down icon. Was that a bad explanation, come'on!! Some people!
The more you know! Great explanation
So good taught me something
Here in 2019 and this is great!
thank you scott now i can explain to my son and not look stupid lol Thanx 👍👍👍👍
and because the earth is spinning he said...good sense of humor he has.
does a high pressure area help low pressure area grow stronger?
Think so no
But I'm still confused why it's called Low Pressure if it pushes the air above.. must be High right? Please enlighten me 😁😁
how can i download the video?
great explanation
