Regarding meteorology and character concept

I wasn't sure which forum to place this under, because it's not really a question about the game so I thought Player questions would be bad.

I need some help with some science to see if this character concept, in which the character is a Technology Origin, is sound science.

Before I begin, yes, I know it's a game and I can make any science work because I say so, but I like my characters being quote unquote "feasible."

Okay, I'm working on a Storm/Sonic Defender concept for an alternate suit for my main character, Vojin.

The question is in regards to the formation of storms:

so if i wanted to create a localized weather system, such as a storm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm

Storms are created when a center of low pressure develops, with a system of high pressure surrounding it.

A low pressure area, or "low", is a region where the atmospheric pressure is lower in relation to the surrounding area. Low pressure systems form under areas of upper level divergence on the east side of upper troughs, or due to localized heating caused by greater insolation .

so, if i created a heat source to blast heated air upwards, then cooled the surrounding air,
would that, theoretically, create a localized weather system ???

If anyone can help me, that would be greatly appreciated.

And yes, I think too much about character concepts, but thats what keeps me coming back to them. :-D

Dude, if having a background for your character that you can look at and go, "It WORKS", and you're happy, that's all that matters. It's your character - go for it.

That said, I'm no meteorologist - you might post a question on Yahoo! Answers and see if one answers you there!

Hell, I explain my /Storm's powers as being caused by maniplating the electrons of surrounding air molecules to create pockets of low/high pressure. It's total BS, but it explains how someone with electrical powers can manipulate the weather.

Just use fancy words and psuedoscience. Comic books are loaded to the gills with BS, the more you try to make it sound realistic, the more unrealistic it appears.

Although, given the similarity to your explaination and dust devils, you can get away with a more realistic explaination. Now I'm getting ideas for a dust devil-based character concept...

You could also throw in something about seeding your clouds with silver iodide. That happens too, usually with an airplane though.

There might be a wiki page on cloud seeding that'd explain the process better.
