Why the Convection Model of Storm Theory is based on Pixie Dust

One simple observation that proves I'm right and the convection model is wrong:
Storms and low pressure are correlated.

Conversely, there is zero reliable, non-anecdotal evidence of expansiveness
and buoyancy playing a role in storms. Or, I should say, the observational
data that does exist can best be described as being much more frequent than
but equally as anecdotal as that associated with big foot sightings.

More simply put, if the convection model was correct then storms would be
correlated with high pressure. They aren't.

(Deal with it, you church ladies.)

The belief that it does has nothing to do with science and everything to do
with group delusion.

And so, in a sense, atmospheric flow isn't pushed, it is pulled. Jet
streams are the source of the concentrated and directed low pressure that
pulls the rest of the atmosphere along. The properties (poorly understood)
of water under wind shear conditions are instrumental to the emergence of
the plasma (plainly viewable as the sheath of a tornado) that provides the
leverage (structural) that facilitates all of the above, through vortices
that provide their fast moving contents (air flowing, sometimes, at speeds
upwards of 300 mph) isolation from the friction of the atmosphere and, at
one and the same time, provide the upper troposphere the means by which it,
essentially maintains its grip on the lower troposphere and, simultaneously,
stays hydrated. (Fortunately for ourselves and all other land based animals,
it ["it" being, essentially, the jet stream{s}] is a sloppy drinker.)

Convection plays no role what-so-ever!!!

The convection model is a cartoon based on fictional physical principles
the underlying basis of which is pixie dust.

So many words, so much babble... but no proof at all.

Here we go again, Jim, all this bluster and absolutely NO PROOF!

I know, I know, you are now going to ask ME to disprove your position, but you would be wrong! YOU are making these claims, therefore it is up to YOU to provide the observations and experiments that show you to be correct.

Of course, you can't do it because there is no proof, no observations, and no experiments that you have performed to prop you up.

Just another McGinn rant with no teeth. As always, you've got NOTHING!

So, essentially, your argument is structurally identical to somebody that saw a ghost and thinks its everybody else's duty to prove they didn't.

Here are the facts that you failed to contradict:

1) There is zero reliable, non-anecdotal evidence of expansiveness
and buoyancy playing a role in storms. (The observational

data that does exist can best be described as being much more
frequent than but equally as anecdotal as that associated with big

foot sightings.)

2) In stark contradiction to what the (now discredited) convection
model of storm theory predicts, storms are correlated with low
pressure not high pressure. (The belief that it predicts low
pressure despite the obvious fact that it does not appears to be
a part of a larger group delusion or cult-based notion.)

3) Atmospheric flow is not pushed by high pressure but can more
accurately be described as being pulled by low pressure stemming
from the jet streams. (And so, in a sense, atmospheric flow

isn't pushed, it is pulled. Jet streams are the source of the
concentrated and directed low pressure that pulls the rest of the

atmosphere along.)

4) The properties (poorly understood) of water (suspended
microdroplets) under wind shear conditions are instrumental to the

emergence of the plasma (plainly viewable as the sheath of a
tornado) that provides the leverage (structural) that facilitates
all of the above, through vortices that provide their fast moving
contents (air flowing, sometimes, at speeds upwards of 300 mph)
isolation from the friction of the atmosphere and, at one and the
same time, provide the upper troposphere the means by which it,

essentially, maintains its grip on the lower troposphere and,

simultaneously, stays hydrated. (Fortunately for ourselves and all
other land based animals, it ["it" being, essentially, the jet
stream{s}] is a sloppy drinker.)

5) Convection plays no role what-so-ever!!! The convection model is

a cartoon based on fictional physical principles the underlying

basis of which is pixie dust. (There is actually an exception to
this rule that is beyond the scope of this examination.) And the
people that believe it does are, like, fairies, very nice people
and very simple, but not scientist. They are best ignored, or
shooed off to flutter away.

He speaks of a positive feedback being necessary for the jets to exist. But then he tries to dodge the issue by suggesting, Nature provides it, which is meaningless.

The positive feedback is formation of plasma along wind shear boundaries. Higher wind speed equates to more energy for the spinning of the microdroplets and that enables stronger plasma, enabling higher wind speeds, stronger plasma, ad infinitum. That is the positive feedback.

This guy is a lot smarter than most on this subject. But he will find himself forever frustrated by the fact that he is missing one element without which he can never resolve the understanding--H2O plasma of spinning microdroplets.

I don't know what you are talking about. Friction is what prevents the atmosphere from achieving equillibrium. The sheath of vortices (made from a water-based plasma) is what provides isolation from this friction to thereby achieve some semblance of eqilibrium. This is true regardless of the type of equation you use.

coriolis seemed adiquate to initiate the turbulence and cyclones to dampen or act as speed goveners.

Meaningless. Coriolis doesn't do these things.

his model still utilizes convection. He wisely doesnt try to re-invent the wheel.

If this is true he has no chance of making any progress. Convection is just wrong. It is a stupid thing to believe.

I have been listening to him on the run alot today and I have to listen to it several more times. That guy is a great instructer! Vary facinating material.

He correctly understands the significance of barometric pressure as the engine of jet stream flow. He mentions a guy named G.I Taylor, and Taylor stated that the Navier Stokes equation must be wrong. Specifically Taylor said their is a missing increase in viscosity. He then goes on to state, "Well, we know better than that now." He then get lost in mathematical triviality.

Taylor was correct. The plasma phase of H2O is what is missing. This is how structure is able to persist in the atmosphere.

Farrel then goes on talking about perturbations--this is just nonsense.

Through the rest of the video Farrel is just fumbling around with mathematical triviality.

I don't know exactly what he was referring to, but it is interesting that jets formed naturally in this plasma and these jets achieved thermodynamic equillibrium, just like the jets in the atmosphere. It's not just and analogy.

The jets that form naturally in the atmosphere are structural. It's impossible for structure to form if all of the elements have the same viscosity. The professor is trying to theorize with one arm tied behind his back. Jets cannot exist in the atmosphere if there is no plasma.

I watched it several times. In his structure of things he could explain the jets with his conventional methology , his inovation was using LE and using the sub system non linear maths to explain feed back.

I watched it a few times. Math is great to descibe things that are already known to exist. He goes off the tracks of sound theory though when his math starts being and end in and of itself. The fact is that vortices are structural entities. This is plainly observable. Throwing a bunch of imaginative math at it isn't going to change that.

Math is a great way to create the illusion that you understand things better than you do. Note how often trolls refer to math as if it is a panacea.

Water vapor (water in a 'gas' state) is nearly always present up to
about 4% of the total volume.

In the Earth's desert regions (30°N/S) when dry winds are blowing, the
water vapor contribution to the composition of the atmosphere will be
near zero.

Water vapor contribution climbs to near 3% on extremely hot/humid days.
The upper limit, approaching 4%, is found in tropical climates. The
table (left) shows the changes in atmospheric composition with the
inclusion of different amounts of water vapor.

I know it must be frustrating to be so sure the evidence is out there and be unable to find it. Maybe it would make you feel better to explain all the efforts you've made to find it. Have you tried posting it to different boards on the internet? What else have you tried? Tell us what you've tried and maybe somebody has some ideas to help you.

Or, maybe it would be best to leave science to scientists.

Another thing too, the professor basically admitted that storms are the result of the jet stream. He is the first meteorologist who I have seen admit that. Most of the rest of them say that storms are caused by convection and that they are pushed along in the flow of the jet stream.

Maybe this science is starting to come out of the middle ages.

I *do* leave science to scientists, Jim, and so should you. I've studied science all my life, but throughout the years I have remained skeptical of most new theories, as do all actual researchers, until observations and/or experiments tend to validate them over time. That's how science works, Jim, and you would know this if you had even half a brain in your noggin.

Take your own advise, Jim, and leave science to scientists. You are not a scientist, you don't know the first thing about it.

Your going to blow a gasket if you don't settle down. Maybe redirect your energy to finding your purported evidence, then your argument won't depend so much on self-righteous indignation.

HEY MCGINN !!!

down load free weather software and have fun, instead of trying to
edukate these physicisists to your "Vater Wapor nada" theory....

you will learn more and have fun with these models, then you can have
your own model built, that follows your theories

Question: How is McGinn going to overcome all these accurate computer
models ?

there is free Weather Softwhere already out there;

You mean the books that got these reviews? Hahahahaha...

1.0 out of 5 stars
insane rambling
By K. Parker on July 3, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase
The author believes that elementary concepts, which have been taught to and understood by first year Chemistry and Physics students for many decades, are some kind of meteorological conspiracy. The author also does not understand the very basic physics that drive convective updrafts (the positive buoyancy due to warm temperature anomalies that result from latent heat release). Instead, apparently based largely on reading websites, he proposes a mechanism that makes no physical sense and is totally unobserved and unobservable. This text violates even basic tenets of logic. Totally without merit.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Waste of time, a non-funny joke
By hunter on July 16, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition
This book misleads the reader on basic physical concepts like density, the basics of weather dynamics, and offers a silly idea that confuses metaphors about how the jet stream operates with reality. It solves nothing but does offer a way to waste time and money buying and reading it. This book is an example of the risks posed in the age of inexpensive self publishing.

If you are not pissing somebody off then you probably have nothing interesting to say.

Your writing style is very easy to label: cut and paste

If not for Wikipedia you would never be able to express a coherent thought.

There are thousands of radiosonde observations every day.
