Supercomputers have revolutionized meteorology by simulating the atmosphere and enabling more accurate weather forecasts. The use of supercomputers in weather prediction can be traced back to the work of meteorologist Cleveland Abbe in the 1860s. Today, supercomputers like NCAR's Derecho continue to push the boundaries of computational speed and efficiency, with architectures optimized for parallel processing and the use of multi-core CPUs and GPUs. The accuracy of these models has improved over time, and advancements in technology, such as quantum computing and machine learning, will continue to enhance their capabilities. The future of computational meteorology looks promising with increasing computational power, refined models, and more accurate data. [Extracted from the article]

The article focuses on British Columbia's Coast Mountains which is described as a wilderness of sky and ice. Topics discussed include a description of the meteorological surroundings of the Coast Mountains, the ice sheets that cap the highest of the range's mountains and the inaccessibility of the mountains.

The article discusses the dynamic process of lightning photography where a photographer should possess an amalgam of aesthetic perception and balance, comprehension of the physics and meteorology of lightning genesis. It suggests the need for a photographer to consider pre-visualization when attempting to photograph lightning by imagining an image one wishes to create. It also outlines one of the most important aspects of lightning photography which involves lightning strike interval (LSI).

The article focuses on the use of modern facilities and multimillion-dollar telescopes by researchers in the field of climatology. It highlights information about observatories as well as the concept of a visible wavelength telescope. An overview about the Hubble Space Telescope and terrestrial-based astronomy is presented.

A personal narrative is presented which explores the author's experience involving atmospheric phenomena from his road trip to Texas.

The article examines the locations of the world's greatest thunderstorms. Atmospheric scientists have used the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) to analyze data about the nature of thunderstorms which will advance their understanding of crucial atmospheric dynamics and tells how an extreme weather phenomena impacts humanity. The article also states that the best way to understand thunderstorm intensity is to conceptualize energy released per unit of time per unit area.

The article focuses on the mission of the U.S. Special Operations Weather Team also known as the Grey Berets to deliver weather forecasts to the required people at the required time within the special operations environment. One of the typical forecast products from the team is the exact cloud height according to Major Andrew Reeder, commander of the 107th Weather Flight. The members of the team has undergone 11 months intensive meteorological training.

The article presents a note on weather characteristics of Washington, D.C., both historically and contemporarily. It is said that figurative battles have raged over all aspects of American governance over the topic. Located within the meteorological grasp of the warm Gulf Stream current, the temperament of Washington, D.C. can flip and then flop dramatically within a matter of hours.

The article offers information on the Sierra Nevada mountain in California. It states that the highest, crowning span of the mountain peaks overlooks over and defines the periphery of Owens Valley. It mentions that the highest peak of Sierra Nevada, including Mount Whitney and Mount Williamson have stood as background to well known motion pictures. It mentions that the mountain experiences a relative mild weather.

The article provides an overview on the weather conditions in London, England. Several notable extreme weather conditions that occurred in the city are highlighted including the Great Storm of 1703, the Great Storm of 1987 and the Big Freeze of 1963. A weather forecast for the city in 2014 is also offered.

The article discusses the seasonable weather along the 24-mile-long coastline of the Central American country, Belize. It mentions that Belize experiences a tropical climate, which features high humidity, rainy and dry seasons and year-round balmy temperatures. It also cites the powerful storms and hurricanes that pass through the country.

The article describes the weather condition in Isla Navarino in Chile. Lying in close proximity to large bodies of water, Isla Navarino experiences relatively mild temperatures throughout the year. But while those oceans moderate the region's temperatures, they also catapult their storms onto Isla Navarino and surrounding lands. The skies above Navarino provide regular spectacles of rain, snow and gales.
