A Purpose in Posting the Weather Videos - Part 1

Number 1: For a change of pace.
Number 2: To provide a hint as to the complexities of weather processes, including El Niño/La Niña Cycles.
Number 3: After watching these videos (and hopefully taking notes), you will probably know more about Weather than the average politician and/or media talkinghead.

Especially yesterday's video (Paul Beckwith), which was - for me - a refreshing change from the computer-generated graphics.  (Pardon my bias.) 

Previous postings on Weather and Climate on this blog (before this "series" informally began on January 24, 2020) include:

On my other blog "Itinerant Geologist", there are a few Weather and Climate posts.  As that blog is intended to be more about travels (my past travels, hoped-for future travels, and travels of other people), long-term Climate and its natural changes are important processes in the formation of the fascinating features seen on the videos and in the posts, though they may not specifically be mentioned.

A few Itinerant Geologist posts: 

12/23/19 - Flash Flood, Farmington, NM video 
12/22/19 - Escape From Zion Narrows Flash Flood video
12/21/19 - Northern Arizona Flash Floods video
12/21/19 - Zion National Park Flash Flood video
12/19/19 - Loess video and post

Some of the early-December and late-November videos are the same as posted above, about Atmospheric circulation and such.

[There are other posts and videos that are Climate-related on both blogs.]

[Advisory: At times in some of these videos, political views can creep in.  As I favor a "free and open" discussion of scientific views (including diverse, sometimes unorthodox opinions), I may personally disagree with some of these opinions.] 

P.S.:  Next time I pause during posting weather videos, I plan to add them to a subsequent post, similar to the above-posted list, to facilitate any search efforts.  That will be Part 2.
