another kind of weather a more traditional way to think about weather

traditional way to think about weather

traditional way to think about weather is what the air is doing on planets that

is what the air is doing on planets that

is what the air is doing on planets that have atmospheres and moon doesn’t have

have atmospheres and moon doesn’t have

have atmospheres and moon doesn’t have an atmosphere so we don’t think about

an atmosphere so we don’t think about

an atmosphere so we don’t think about moon whether Mars has an atmosphere

moon whether Mars has an atmosphere

Jupiter has an atmosphere Saturn Uranus

Jupiter has an atmosphere Saturn Uranus Neptune a couple of moons have

Neptune a couple of moons have

Neptune a couple of moons have atmospheres so so when you study those

atmospheres so so when you study those

atmospheres so so when you study those you see interesting patterns you see

you see interesting patterns you see

you see interesting patterns you see storms you see Eddie’s which are Eddie’s

storms you see Eddie’s which are Eddie’s

storms you see Eddie’s which are Eddie’s are tiny little spiral patterns of air

are tiny little spiral patterns of air

are tiny little spiral patterns of air that might be their version of a tornado

that might be their version of a tornado

that might be their version of a tornado and so I think you can only really

and so I think you can only really

and so I think you can only really deeply understand weather on earth once

deeply understand weather on earth once

deeply understand weather on earth once you study the weather on other planets a

you study the weather on other planets a

you study the weather on other planets a planet that rotates faster than Earth

planet that rotates faster than Earth

planet that rotates faster than Earth rotates less fast when it has higher

rotates less fast when it has higher

rotates less fast when it has higher gravity lesser gravity and you can see

gravity lesser gravity and you can see

gravity lesser gravity and you can see the full range of how weather takes

the full range of how weather takes

the full range of how weather takes shape in the full spectrum of planets

shape in the full spectrum of planets

shape in the full spectrum of planets that are out there and then you find out

that are out there and then you find out

that are out there and then you find out where earth fits and you say oh that’s

where earth fits and you say oh that’s

where earth fits and you say oh that’s why that’s that way because this is what

why that’s that way because this is what

why that’s that way because this is what happens in that extreme and that’s what

happens in that extreme and that’s what

happens in that extreme and that’s what happens in the other extreme so that’s

happens in the other extreme so that’s

happens in the other extreme so that’s really what when I think of space

really what when I think of space

really what when I think of space weather that’s what I I’d like to

weather that’s what I I’d like to

weather that’s what I I’d like to reflect on tornadoes are way more fun

reflect on tornadoes are way more fun

reflect on tornadoes are way more fun than snowstorms if you’re just watching

than snowstorms if you’re just watching

than snowstorms if you’re just watching weather phenomenon tornadoes or or any

weather phenomenon tornadoes or or any

weather phenomenon tornadoes or or any any cyclone just to think about the

any cyclone just to think about the

any cyclone just to think about the energy it contains and what it’s doing

energy it contains and what it’s doing

energy it contains and what it’s doing with that energy what in the weather

with that energy what in the weather

with that energy what in the weather system was the precursor conditions to
