Why Meteorologists Won't Talk About "Cold Steam"

When confronted with mystery the public turns to experts and pays them 
to resolve it.  When confronted with irresolvable contradictions an 
expert can either conceal and obscure the contradiction, pretending to 
have resolved the mystery or they can reveal the contradiction and 
notify the public that the mystery remains.  If they do the latter 
there is a good chance the public will fire them and look to hire a 
new expert. But if they sweep the contradiction under the rug then the 
public remains ignorant and the experts can keep their jobs.

This is why meteorology won't discuss the fact that moist air doesn't 
contain gaseous H2O. (Earth's atmosphere doesn't contain H2O[g]. It is 
far too cool for that.  It contains H2O[l], small clusters/droplets of 
H2O.) There models of storms are built around the notion that moist air 
is lighter than dry air. And the math on this only works if gaseous H2O 
is assumed. Accordingly, this allows them to pretend that this explains 
why moist air rises, causing storms.  And this pretense saves them from 
having to worry about losing their jobs when the public figures out that 
they really don't understand what causes storms.  

A big part of how they have been able to conceal and obscure this 
contradiction has to do with terminology.  They use the terms for 
gaseous H2O9(g) and vaporous H2O(l) interchangeably.  There are any 
number of words that they can use to obscure the issue: steam, vapor, evaporate, moist air, condensate etc. So there are any number of 
different methods with which they can leave their audience confused. 
They realize that when it comes to job security it is better to keep 
the public confused thinking the subject is so complex that only an 
expert can understand it than it is to educate them and risk revealing 
that they really don't understand the mechanics of storms.

Posts of James MacGinn aka Solving Tornadoes are not worthy to respond.
He does not bother with checking his ideas
against known experimental data, or learning physics.

Cold steam?

That's just that vapor pressure is non-zero 
in comparing aqueous and gaseous environments 
and the interface, and the fact that liquid 
water covers 2/3 the Earth.

Also there are often a variety of other sooty 
and even often ionized components in the atmosphere 
which are carrying liquid water, not gaseous steam, 
in terms of water density in the air.  For being 
a solvent, it's also quite often residual.  That 
there is also gaseous dihydrogen monoxide in air 
and of measures of humidity etcetera is also known 
in terms of water triple point etcetera.  Still, 
steam is only gaseous water and only exists 
above the boiling point of water (otherwise being 
fog).

Below zero it is quite a dry cold.

Minus ten or fifteen degrees C is crisp.

Water is interesting, to be sure, it's interesting 
to consider its centrality in liquid phase systems 
and as the prevalent liquid and solvent, besides 
methane seas or along those lines in rather colder 
climes, or under pressures on gas giant planets.  

Similarly to iron and its centrality in fission and 
fusion or nuclear stability, water as strongly oxidized 
in hydrogen environments or stable, in that sense, may 
be found to have theoretically central characteristics 
in matter phase mechanics, besides being so totally 
relevant to the biomechanics of living bodies as on Earth.

Water is a subject in which almost everybody (accept me) is, in one way or anotehr, deeply confused. The vast majority of people are confused into thinking it is a lot simpler than it really is.  There are a handful of scientists that study it and they are overwhelmingly confused by why they can't quite seem to comprehend it; the more it seems like it makes sense the more its anomalies stand out.  Here is a video I think you will like.  It is a little bit longish but it is right along the lines of what I am talking about here:

This sentence all by itself should be an early-warning siren for you. Or 
in your case, an egregiously late warning siren.

I think professor Wormley should post an article on the difference between evaporation and boiling.

There is obviously much confusion on this subject.

I would do it myself except for 2 reasons.

1) I am a poor instructor and often resort to threats of violence

2) I am lazy as fuck

3) you just dont care about evaporation nor boiling.


"evaporation" is what the do to milk to put it in a can.

"boiling" is what the do to clams, lobsters and other critters that live 
on the ocean floor with spunge bob.

WIKI SAYS (read this! if you want to);

Evaporation is a type of vaporization of a liquid that occurs from the 
surface of a liquid into a gaseous phase that is not saturated with the 
evaporating substance. The other type of vaporization is boiling, which 
is characterized by bubbles of saturated vapor forming in the liquid 
phase. Steam produced in a boiler is another example of evaporation 
occurring in a saturated vapor phase. Evaporation that occurs directly 
from the solid phase below the melting point, as commonly observed with 
ice at or below freezing or moth crystals (napthalene or 
paradichlorobenzene), is called sublimation. Fog is Cold Steam.

What do you think the term, "gaseous phase," means?

At what temperature does water turn to gas?

At what temperature does evaporation generally take place?

Except that is not what steam tables indicate, is it?

Why do you think that is?

For example? Maybe you could point to one online that seems to indicate 
otherwise.

Dunno yet. Maybe you don't understand what you're looking at. We'll see.

Previous statement stands. All temperatures.

Tell me, Jim, when water ice sublimates, is the stuff that goes into the 
air at temperatures below 0 C composed of microsnowflakes?

No. You're a lone voice. I can find steam tables. From what I see in 
them, they don't support your claim.

Now you've made a claim and say that steam tables support your claim. So 
pull the steam table up, let's look at it and you can point to what you 
think it says.

You showing me a steam table supporting what you claim. That's the next 
step.

Sure. http://www.efunda.com/materials/water/steamtable_general.cfm

Now, you made a claim about steam tables.
You point to one that supports your claim.

Can't find one? So your making a statement without support from a 
reference that you claim exists is what you call an argument?

A chart would be better.

So show me a chart that makes your argument for you. Or maybe you don't 
have one.

Can you learn a new word today, Jim? The word is chickenshit. Can you 
say chickenshit? There! I knew you could!

As you demonstrate, the boiling temperature/pressure of water is 
not controversial. It's not even worth looking up because everybody 
knows what the evidence indicates.  It's uneqivocal.  Yet whole 
disciplines, like meteorology and climatology, have models the 
PERCIEVED validity of which depend on this phantom notion that 
water can be a gas at ambient temperatures.  So, we have whole 
disciplines dumbed down to appeal to the lowest common denominator 
because otherwise all members of the discipline are revealed as 
fools.
