since a tornado operates on a rotating air mass, would an explosion disrupt the rotating air mass, or feed it or even stop it?

I just finished watching the movie "Day After Tommorrow". I was wondering if people believed this would happen in the near future. I believe that some aspects may occur and some may not. For instance, the water rising and becoming frozen over (like in the movie). What are your views on the ice age occuring and will it be like the way Hollywood portrays it or not?

With the recent weather - I've noticed that the pylon by my tram stop buzzes and crackels continuously. This used to be the same at somewhere I worked. Why does this happen? - I know there is more moisture in the air - but is that the cause?

I saw the weather map on CNN today and there was a low pressure right over Colorado, and it looked like air was comming up from the gulf of mexico, all the way north to Canada, and swirling back around behind the low pressure in Colorado... Am I reading the map wrong? Is that weather pattern unusual?

is it when the barometer is rising or falling that rain/storm is coming?are there numbers (like 29 in. and falling) that mean a storm is closer?Sorry, I'm not really familiar with this.

I know places like Phoenix, El Paso, and Las Vegas get a number of days where the temperature rises over 105, but the humidity is so low the heat index doesn't match the air temperature. Then again, heat is heat, dry or not, so what do you all think? What about sweatholes like Houston or New Orleans?

I know Dallas gets hotter according to pure temerature, but Houston is more humid. Then again, Houston is closer to the ocean, so wouldn't there be a breeze? Eitherway, to those of you who have lived in both places, which one of the two cities is more unbearable with discomfort and heat in the summer?

Are there any sites that offering a combination of Google Maps or Yahoo Maps with weather data (e.x. temperature, wind, etc...) for all the countries of the world?

I found what I was searching as a free service on the www.weatherbonk.com but the server the last days is down for many hours during the day.

A barometer measures atmospheric pressure. The air in the atmosphere exerts a force called pressure that constantly changes due to moving weather systems. Therefore, in conjunction with other meteorological instruments, a barometer helps to predict clear or rainy weather.

In 1643, Evangelista Torricelli invented the first barometer. He figured that if he had a vacuum, an airless space, he could compare the ever-present atmospheric pressure with zero pressure. So he placed a vacuum contained in a glass tube on top of a larger container of mercury. The air presses down on the mercury's exposed surface and pushes it up into the tube. The higher the mercury level, the greater the air pressure. Originally, the units of air pressure were just millimeters of mercury. People could finally measure the force of air.

Since the advent of "Torricelli's tube," others developed the aneroid barometer that works without liquid. In this instrument, a flexible metal accordion box that resembles a bellows is partially squeezed to a medium pressure. Then, if air pressure rises, the bellows contract because the air inside them takes up less volume. An aneroid barometer often connects to a recording device, together forming a barograph. A pen moves against a rotating cylinder whenever the bellows moves, and thus creates a visual aid to the pattern of falling and rising air pressure. The barograph remains a basic instrument of modern meteorology.

Used in conjunction with a thermometer, a barometer can make general weather predictions. While weather is very complex, storms more or less follow certain patterns of high and low pressure systems. In simplified terms, a rising barometer means wind, frost, or clear skies, while a falling barometer indicates coming storms. A steady barometer might mean precipitation or sun. Weather forecasters look at the relative change at different places, taking into account how air pressure changes with elevation.

Some home hobbyist barometers still convert units to inches or millimeters of mercury, whether or not mercury is present. The International Meteorological Society has declared the universal unit of pressure to be the hectopascal. For example, 1016 hectopascals equals 30 inches of mercury (762.1 mm).
