  1. Who the hell 5-posted me?

    1. Riptide

      Riptide

      Don't worry about it ;)

  2. Yes, BUT does that specifically mean that all of these "employed' mets are currently working as meteorologists, or just working, in any job, period?
  3. Maybe not pitch black. The tornado pulled out quickly. The sun probably came out, and the buidling was mostly gone, so sun was probably coming in through the roof.
  4. Luck and willingness to work in strange places some times.
  5. That average is skewed by the few who work on large-market TV stations.
  6. LOL always OOOOKAYYYYYY. The year before you had him for thermo, I was in his class, and Aaron Burton blurted out OOOOKKKKKAAAYYYY right after Dr Yoh. Then later he said he didn't remember doing it! That was a moment I'll never forget!
  7. He told me that one time when I was pouring over the models doing Keancast. Basically said he would have no idea what to look at to make a good forecast.
  8. I really don't know how he gets away with it. We see numerous times posts from the moderators on these boards telling everyone that they can only make posts that have any substance to them. Yet, time and time again, he makes posts with the facepalm, or simply "roflcopter" and he gets away with it. If I were 5-posted, I would make every one of my 5 posts a day in protest of that!
  9. Did you do well in your reading classes? I didn't say it proves anything. And to the second point, what I'm saying is research majors are going to be more awake in OTHER classes that the operational mets have less interest in.
  10. I think that most people who are interested in forecasting are more awake and ready to go in synoptic classes and classes that deal with day-to-day meteorology than those who want to do research. That could be part of the reasoning.
  11. Actually, and Scotty can attest to this, the Chinese (hong kong) born professor of meteorology at Kean has admitted many times that he would not have a clue how to forecast, but he is an absolute genius in mathematics and physics!
  12. Yes. I forgot to mention that we all had to take 2 CPS classes too!
  13. LOL He still thinks the NGM is running somewhere, and refers to it as the workhorse model.
  14. Dr Croft has really advanced the broadcast leg of that program.
  15. He ALWAYS took pity on the met majors, it wasn't just in your class! In my class, it was the "Three Musketeers". We had 2 semesters less calculus than most in there. We deserved the pity!
  16. If you want some time, I can dig up the full req's list, but included are hydrology, climatology, GIS, Remote Sensing, Thermo, two semesters of Dynamics, 2 semesters of Physics, Methods in Geoscience, Physical Met, two semesters of Synoptic Met- one with computer applications.
  17. I agree with this. A lot of times it depends on the professor, whether they can clearly explain the material or not. You took Krantz for Diffy Q also I imagine?
  18. I don't see why it was needed anyway. The Chem that you really need for Meteo you learn in Thermodynamics. Everybody takes basic chemistry in HS anwyay.
