Weather, Climate and the Seasons

Weather, climate and the seasons.

You get it started. I have no valuable input.

Neither do I. I'm just posting for the sake of having my name all over the latest topics list.

Arg.

Arg? Anti-Replicator-Gun?
Stargate FTW!

Anyway, let's start making a list of the kinda of weather patterns that can be expected on Novusvita or something.

List started!
Winds move like earth's, but are higher in the atmosphere, storm systems will be more powerful. Lightning would be more rampant, and more powerful, because of the thicker atmosphere.

Precipitation would be slightly acidic, with the occasional strong, yet partially diluted, sulfuric acid rain. Limited to Rain, Hail, freezing rain, dew, and the occasional Snow.

The sky's would be overcast almost constantly, once again because of atmosphere qualities, as well as to protect from rampant radiation. The planets Ozone would have to be thicker, because of the three stars instead of one. The magnetosphere would also be more powerful, making magnets more readily available.

I think I need to greatly edit any references to the weather in the book. I'm also gonna make exosuits manditory. We need to design a human exosuit to protect them from the atmosphere and life on the planet.

I think we are going to have to change the book quite a bit.

Then you should all be saying this: "To the Writer's Guild!".

To something other than the...

Oh. To the Writer's Guild! Right after I post everywhere else!

I do believe we need to elaborate this if we're going to add it to the Wiki.

Okay. Elaborate. I don't see anything wrong with it, and I suppose you would be most likely to be able to elaborate given you know the various curents/slipstreams already.

I guess, but I'm not a climatologist nor a meteorologist...

And yet you assume we are...

I put forward a motion to remind the admin that I'm fairly sure all of us here are also minors?

I think we all fall under the category and that the best you'll get is a nerd when it comes to that subject.

Well, that leaves one solution... To Wikipedia! 8D

Hail Wikipedia!

I'll attempt to make a detailed OP for this thread sometime this weekend.

Hmm, interesting. What sort of environment do we expect the planet's surface to be? Desert like? Arid grasslands? Tropical? What's the primary biome?

I'm new, so I don't know precisely what sort of planet this is...

Well... I don't know, really. I forget where all that stuff if written...

I know that there are many biomes. It's diverse, like Earth.

I would think so. Wish we had a climate map...

We may have one, actually. I'll go look.

Sadly, we do not. We do have this thread, with tons of maps on it though: https://alterverse.forumotion.net/t70-the-map-collection

And then this picture showing the seasons:

Sorry I've been gone so long...

Anyway, one thing I should point out is that the Seasons on Earth are due to the Earth's axis of rotation; it has nothing to do with how close Earth is to the Sun.
