Great video, just shows it.
Saw a TV documentary about weather where top weather person - female - collapsed into giggles when asked to explain Coriolis. Colleague stuck his head round the door, and heard the word Coriolis and sort of muttered; over my pay grade!
Basically, they accepted it happens and didn't worry too much about being able to explian (understand?) why. And they were weather forecasters!
What real relevance is it to us? Are we training pilots or weather forecasters?
Because if pilots, why?
If to help us understand the weather - rather than to test ability to absorb and regurgitate difficult concepts, or test our ability to answer tricky questions - then why teach stuff that weather forecasters don't seem too fussed by!
