    Stop.
  2. AtticaFanatica
    Yes, confirmation bias is a tough thing to overcome.

    The horizontal vortices that were so prominent with this tornado may be an indicator of the low-level shear present in the environment or may have been forced at the interface of the tornado inflow layer (lowest 50 m or so) and the air above it. Fascinating stuff.

    I typically cringe at those guessing these things prematurely, but I would be very surprised if it's not rated as EF5 based on all available information.
  5. AtticaFanatica
    It's subjective, it's whatever any individual wants it to be.

    That 30 second period when the video came back after they lost it for the first time was ridiculous.
  7. AtticaFanatica
    This is bad.
  8. AtticaFanatica
    This thread is pretty much a disgrace. Edit: Referring to Analog's now-deleted posts.
  9. AtticaFanatica
    The idea that you need computers to teach the theory or background of several meteorological subjects is completely absurd and without merit.
  10. AtticaFanatica
    Not necessarily, depends on what you're teaching.

    Similarly, it would probably be equally hilarious hearing you pronounce Matlab or the equivalent in Korean, Japanese, or Chinese.
  12. AtticaFanatica
    It's pointless to talk about this stuff without hard numbers.
  13. AtticaFanatica
    I'd much rather have that than the nonsense posted in the last page or so.
  14. AtticaFanatica
    He's right though.
  15. AtticaFanatica
    Thread's gone from bad to terrible.
  16. AtticaFanatica
    ugh

    What % of the NWS workforce is currently classified as a minority?
  18. AtticaFanatica
    I'm not sure, I've never applied for an NWS position, but that sounds right.
  19. AtticaFanatica
    I didn't apply, but I think the top "bin" for authorships is now 18 publications, perhaps it was fewer in the past, I'm not sure.
  20. AtticaFanatica
    Some of the NWS applications have asked about the number of peer-reviewed authorships or co-authorships applicants have in major journals.
  21. AtticaFanatica
    That's a lot, true, what are the other bins?
  22. AtticaFanatica
    It's probably not a useful prerequisite for most NWS positions, but I think you're short-changing peer-reviewed research just a tiny bit.
  23. AtticaFanatica
    I agree it doesn't matter much for those interested in forecasting, mostly because there's very few forecasting classes in most curriculums, but I think class performance does matter, at least to some extent, in research.
  24. AtticaFanatica
    We get it.
  25. AtticaFanatica
    Meteorology is a branch of applied physics. I'm not sure why it would be surprising that you need a lot of calculus and physics to study the subject appropriately.
