I can rationally appreciate that creating a weather model is an iterative process but still it does weird me out that something as basic as this is being actively researched. Even after reading this I still have trouble saying "we're just figuring out how moist air leads to precipitation".
- wcarss 6y ago"Over the Southern Great Plains, we found that when the wind brings less moisture, dry soils are associated with increases in rainfall amount; and when the wind brings greater moisture, wet soils are associated with increases in rainfall amount. In the current study, we find that, actually, in many regions, the opposite is true for the likelihood of afternoon rainfall," Welty said. I'm certainly surprised that it's _so_ nuanced as to be completely the opposite in different areas.
