Well yes, but the truth is qualitatively different isn’t it. The basic view of a school physics student would be vulnerable to both the “high to low” theory and also potentially the “wind happens because the earth’s going round faster than the air” fallacy. It’s actually quite a big theoretical leap to the concept of geostrophic balance and the fact that the atmospheric motions are due to transient perturbations in it.

Sorry, didn’t realise I’d signed up for a degree in meteorological theory.

I know. I’m trying desperately not to sound patronising about something I find genuinely beautiful from a mathematical perspective.

And failing.

It’s fine, tbh, I didn’t really get most of that post anyway, so patronise away :wink:

Morning glory clouds? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of Northern Australia?

Oooooh yeah … I’d love to perch on that right now. And get my bait out and silently eat it and respectfully nod at other fellow ramblers…

Frankly if I could remember something from 17 years ago I’d be pretty made up with myself too

This is a wonderful thread and the quality content I’m here for.

My current baes are rocks that appear in the middle of nowhere. This was just outside my secondary school. Would often sit on it with my dad on the way home and put the world to rights :grinning:
