"Millions of people visit xkcd.com each week to read Randall Munroe's iconic webcomic. His stick-figure drawings about science, technology, language, and love have a large and passionate following. Fans of xkcd ask Munroe a lot of strange questions. What if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90 percent the speed of light? How fast can you hit a speed bump while driving and live? If there was a robot apocalypse, how long would humanity last? In...

Description
A simple formalism for the diagnostic use of the feedback and static control portions of the theory is presented. The relation of the subgrid scale flux forms and the detrainment forms of the large-scale heat and moisture budgets is also discussed.

Description
The results indicate that the presence of extensive low-level decoupled flow does indeed cause part of the orographic lift of the mountain barrier to be experienced upstream of the barrier. This changes the location of condensate production which in turn shifts precipitation upstream.
