Definitive Guide to Skew-Ts and Hodographs - Part 8 - Common Hodograph Characteristics

Описание: Welcome to my Definitive Guide to Skew-Ts and Hodographs! In this multi-part series, we'll take a deep dive into deciphering those complicated skew-T log-P diagrams and hodographs, which are both critical tools in severe weather forecasting.

In this video (Part 8), we'll discuss some common environmental characteristics, how they change the construction of the hodograph, and how they modulate supercell characteristics, including mid- and upper-level storm-relative winds and veering/backing of winds with height. For a more in-depth look at what we talked about in this video, please visit Cameron Nixon's article at the following link:
