asking chatGPT about meteo

I'm just starting to play with https://chat.openai.com/chat and got curious on how strong it's meteo fu is
executive summary: not Nobel grade, but interesting starting points.
here's an example dialog:
Question: how can I determine the likelihood of hail by studying a radiosonde ascent?
Answer: A radiosonde ascent is a type of weather balloon that is equipped with meteorological instruments to measure various atmospheric parameters such as temperature, pressure, humidity, wind speed, and direction as it ascends through the atmosphere. The data collected by the radiosonde can be used to determine the likelihood of hail by examining the vertical profile of temperature and humidity.
Hail typically forms in strong thunderstorms where there is a high degree of instability in the atmosphere. The likelihood of hail formation is increased if there are strong updrafts, which can carry water droplets to higher altitudes where they freeze and become hailstones. The presence of moisture and cold temperatures at high altitudes is also important for hail formation.
To determine the likelihood of hail using a radiosonde ascent, you can examine the temperature and humidity profiles to identify areas of instability and moisture at different altitudes. Look for a sharp decrease in temperature with increasing altitude, known as a temperature inversion, as this can indicate the presence of cold air at higher altitudes that is favorable for hail formation. Also, look for high levels of moisture in the atmosphere, which can indicate the presence of strong updrafts that are capable of lifting water droplets to high altitudes where they can freeze.
Additionally, you can examine other parameters such as wind speed and direction to identify areas of convergence and divergence, which can also be important for hail formation. Regions of convergence can lead to the upward movement of air, which can increase the likelihood of hail formation.
However, it is important to note that determining the likelihood of hail using a radiosonde ascent is just one piece of information that meteorologists use to make weather forecasts. Other factors such as surface conditions, local topography, and atmospheric dynamics also play important roles in determining the likelihood of hail formation.
