BIGGEST_MX_FANBlackfoot may be a Nyto, but she's still a fucking nerd like the rest of my children.
The thing about her is that she has a defect in her inhibitor device which made her a bit of a unknown variable in the eyes of Paradeus. Unfortunately, she was supposed to be resident meteorologist, and there wasn't really anyone else who do it instead. So they kinda just kept her alive and told her to go fuck off and look at the clouds (they made her more combat-oriented later because she was pretty good at that stuff).
So with all that said, what the FUCK is Blackfoot talking about here?
Blackfoot is referencing a 500 mb map, which is an upper-troposphere contour map that describes the altitude at which the air pressure decreases to 500 mb. On the map, Blackfoot identified a upper-level trough which contains a region of divergence.
This is an region where the wind speed is either increasing or the air is spreading apart in different directions. This leads to a region of low pressure in the upper troposphere as there is less air moving into that region than air moving away. To equalize this pressure gradient, air from the surface rises upwards, creating a surface low. The rising air then cools and forms clouds and precipitation.
Additionally, Blackfoot has identified an extratropical cyclone which is approaching Bremen. Currently, Bremen is surrounded by warm, moist air from the Atlantic. A separate arctic air mass is closing in from the northwest. This creates a cold front, where the cold air mass quickly cools the warm air and forces it upwards (due to density differences), again causing it to form clouds and precipitation.
This results in the German weather agency creating a severe radiation storm alert, prompting Altis to joke about how maybe the storm will get to the Bremen refugees before whatever Morridow was cooking up can.
Evidently, Blackfoot was not amused.
