On my end it was raspy and lagging at times and dropped for a split second a couple. It was throughout the video, thought it was my cheap laptop

I never noticed a complete drop in audio, however, I did notice the frequent popping that folks are referring to.

Just to be clear, the audio drops I experienced were very brief, half a second or so. At times they would coincide with video lag, other times not.

Scott's right. I'm not familiar with what equipment Ben is using for the stream or if it's just straigt youtube or some other proprietary software, but it sounds like dropped packets or jitter (packets arriving out of order) happening continuously. That could be a large number of possibilities.

I'll see what adjustments I can make. I think it has something to do with the encoding codec for the audio. I may be able to up the bitrate of the audio. For what it's worth, I never heard any of that in my headphones, so the audio is clean coming in.
As far as video/audio drops, my guess is that your PC is unable to keep up or possibly a bandwidth drop or even flash player issues. I don't see it on any of my computers I've tried watching the archive.

I just wanted to add my appreciation for the first class. What a great heap of information. Besides the revelation about the right-exit region mentioned already, I was also floored by much clearer insight about Td and height (60 degree dewpoint means something totally different in Denver vs Brownsville - you get more bang for your buck at lower pressure). I feel kinda dumb, because this was something I've always had a muddy intuition for, but now it has been brought into sharp focus.
With regard to the audio, there was quite a bit of what sounded like clipping when I watched the live stream, and it's still present in the archive. Mic gain might have been a tad high. But I never had full on drops in audio.
Also for what it's worth, my cat sat with me for the whole event and stared at the screen. He never watches TV, so Rich must be some sort of cat whisperer.

Thanks Ben for checking. I'm just glad we have the stream/archive anyway, since I'm too far away to attend... appreciate your efforts to get this to us. FWIW, it's not a PC issue - it's happened on 4 different machines that I've tried it on. Also, many others have noted the same thing. Anyway, thanks again!

Thanks to everyone for the comments - I've been pretty busy with other stuff and haven't remembered to check before today. I hadn't heard about the sound problems - maybe some of it was me! Anyway, Ben did a great job with the first session and I'm confident it will go even smoother for round 2 on Tuesday evening.
I'll have to check and see if we can release the raw presentations, since I've seen several requests for it. This next session should be a little easier to follow since it will focus on moisture and lapse rates, and not all of synoptic meteorology at once
Keep the suggestions coming, if there are things you see that can be improved or clarified. I'm looking forward to tomorrow evening.

Well done Rich, the visuals and narrative on thickness and heights were very effective and for me the most beneficial part of the class. I’m especially looking forward to class 3 with the hope that some time is spent on shortwaves.

We're live again at live.som.ou.edu. You can pick up the class in a DVR-style format during the live stream or watch the archive later.

Great stream tonight...audio and video came through crystal clear. Thanks.

Yes, nicely done. Thanks, Ben, for your great service in making it available for us non-Normanites.
As for the content of the session, whew! That was a lot to process. I'm glad it's archived, because I'll need to review it. I finally understand how the EML forms and translates eastward--a simple concept the way Rich explained it, but I never got it just reading the lit. The bit about moisture mixing down from mid-levels was also new to me, and helpful in making better sense of actual soundings. Lots that went past me too fast to absorb. Really a wealth of information--kind of like standing outside in a blizzard, letting the snow fly by and trusting that at least some of the flakes will stick to my head.

Yea seeing those EMLs propagate east in soundings was totally awesome. Really excellent demonstration. From now on whenever I leave ABQ the evening before a chase, I will say an extra kind word of encouragement to the air around me.
