Nature, Science Documentary hosted by Robert G Fovell, published by The Great Courses in 2010 - English narration



Information
------------------------------

Why is it often cooler by the ocean? What conditions cause a rainforest? What makes the sky blue? Explore the Mystery and Intrigue behind the Weather.
Weather affects your life every day. From the transformation of water vapor into clouds to the swirling winds of a tornado, meteorological events are the result of intricate interactions between powerful forces around you. To grasp the mystery of these phenomena is to understand a remarkably complex system that continues to captivate scientists.
Meteorology: An Introduction to the Wonders of the Weather is a fascinating foray into an enthralling field of study. In 24 engaging lectures, you'll explore the often surprising, always intriguing workings of the weather, guided by expert atmospheric scientist and professor Robert G. Fovell. Combining geography, chemistry, physics, and other disciplines, he offers insights into lightning, cyclones, thunderstorms, and other wondrous aspects of one of nature's most compelling mysteries.
In these 24 fascinating lessons, you'll explore the surprising and intriguing way that our planet experiences weather. You'll get answers to everyday questions as well as a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic relationships and physical laws that shape our planet's climate.
After studying the structure of the atmosphere, the physics of gases, liquids, and solids, the factors that drive winds, and the processes that create clouds, you will move into large-scale weather events, such as tornadoes and hurricanes, as well as global climate patterns. Along the way, Professor Fovell brings these concepts to life with vivid demonstrations, illustrative examples, and compelling videos and images.
You will see the tools scientists use to explain and predict the weather, and you'll examine weather maps to see how meteorologists create a picture of conditions at any given moment. As you explore the meteorologist's art, you'll gain a deep appreciation for the fascinating work done to try to explicate the ongoing mystery of the world's weather.

11)  Whence and Whither the Wind, Part 1
Move from clouds to wind as you begin to explore how and why air is transported around the globe. Examine how conditions, including differences in air pressure and temperature as well as the rotation of the Earth, determine where winds arise and the direction in which they blow.
