The Search for Snow

Sun, 31 Jan 2021

In the northern hemisphere, snow is produced by atmospheric low pressure areas that move in from the western Atlantic in the form of huge cloud masses. Snow is vital to the balance of mountain ecosystems. Many animal and plant species at high altitudes depend on it for their survival. But due to global warming, snow is falling less and less. Will there be no more snow in the future? In the Alps and eastern US the situation is clear: as temperatures rise, snow falls less and less, and snow periods tend to shorten. This threatens the mountain flora and fauna. What future do the marmots or alpine bells have without a heat-insulating layer of snow? What future do the marmots or alpine bells have without a heat-insulating layer of snow? What will happen to the conifers in North America without the annual frost protection? Research teams are looking at the implications for snow-adapted species. The documentation shows animal mountain dwellers, who hope for the long-awaited snow every winter.

Understanding Weather: Why Weather Changes

Wed, 01 Jan 1992

The film features a character named Wesley, who is in training at the Weather Bureau of Investigation. He learns about different air masses, their movements, and how they interact to cause weather changes. The training includes understanding high and low pressure systems, cold and warm fronts, and observing changes in weather conditions using various instruments. Wesley experiences firsthand the transition from a warm air mass to a cold front, noting changes in temperature, wind direction, and cloud types.

Understanding Weather: Precipitation

Wed, 01 Jan 1992

The film follows Wesley, a trainee at the Weather Bureau of Investigation (WBI), as he learns about precipitation. Through a series of engaging lessons, he discovers the different forms of precipitation, such as rain, snow, and dew, and how they relate to temperature changes and water vapor in the air. Wesley's journey includes practical observations and experiments that help him understand how clouds form and the processes leading to precipitation. Ultimately, he learns that precipitation occurs when water droplets or ice crystals in clouds become too heavy to float and fall to the ground.

An Alphabet of Weather

Tue, 01 Jan 1991

An educational film that introduces children to the various elements of weather using the letters of the alphabet. Each letter represents a weather-related concept, such as air, clouds, temperature, and storms, providing a fun and engaging way to learn about the atmosphere and its changes. The film highlights the importance of weather in daily life and the roles of meteorologists in predicting it

Understanding Weather: Storms

Wed, 01 Jan 1992

The film features a character named Wesley, who is training to become an agent with the Weather Bureau of Investigation (WBI). Throughout the film, Wesley experiences various weather phenomena, including hurricanes, thunderstorms, and tornadoes. He learns about the formation and characteristics of these storms, including how hurricanes develop over warm ocean waters and how tornadoes form within thunderstorms. The film emphasizes the importance of understanding weather patterns and staying safe during severe weather events.

Understanding Weather: Winds

Wed, 01 Jan 1992

The film follows a character named Wesley as he trains to become an agent with the Weather Bureau of Investigation (WBI). Throughout his training, Wesley learns about wind, its invisibility, and how it is influenced by temperature differences and geographical features. He observes the effects of wind in both urban and rural settings, learns about jet streams, and discovers the significance of uneven heating by the sun. The film concludes with Wesley summarizing his lessons about wind systems and their patterns while expressing his preference for land over water.
