Girls Who Chase

Weather Geeks ·

2022/08/24

Guest: Jennifer Walton Storm chasers range from professionally trained photographers to research meteorologists to thrill seekers watching radar on their phones. And yet, still even today, the majority of them are male. Girls Who Chase is an organization born out of the desire to elevate the efforts of women chasers. To give them a community. And to empower them - to do that thing they most long to do, no matter how daunting, non-stereotypical, or mathematical it might seem. The founder of

2022/08/17

Guest: Melissa Roberts Introduction: In recent decades, extreme rainfall events have been on the increase. There have been 36 billion dollar flood disasters since 1980, and 11 of them have happened in the last 5 years. Sea level rise is leading to more coastal flooding, even in the absence of rain. Who is going to organize the charge to address these rising flood concerns? Melissa Roberts founded the American Flood Coalition to raise awareness to the reality of higher seas, stronger storms,

2022/08/03

Guest: Tim Walsh Introduction: Weather satellites in the Earth’s orbit supply vital information to meteorologists across the globe. Did you know that over 90% of the data that is used in weather forecast models comes from satellites? Our next guest has spent plenty of time working on improving weather satellites and the information that they obtain and share. From the heart of hurricane season to the middle of the winter, satellites are an integral part of keeping people safe. Today on Weather

Reducing Urban Heat Islands

Weather Geeks ·

2022/07/27

Guest: Victoria Ludwig Introduction: When the temperature heats up, people living in cities are often even hotter. That's because the parking lots, roads, and human activities in cities cause the urban heat island. Victoria Ludwig is the national program manager for the Heat Island Reduction Program at the US Environmental Protection Agency. She is here today to explain what urban heat islands are, how we can reduce them, and why the EPA is concerned. See Privacy Policy at

Gauging Hurricane Intensity: An Upgrade to the Dvorak...

Weather Geeks ·

2022/07/20

Guest: Derrick Herndon Introduction: After two back-to-back supercharged hurricane seasons, 2022 is again expected to be well above average. When tropical systems are spinning far out in the ocean and away from land, meteorologists compare satellite imagery of the current storm to past storms to estimate its intensity. It's a technique that dates back to the ‘70s called the Dvorak Technique, and it is still used today. Satellite meteorologist Derrick Herndon joins Weather Geeks today to share

Social Infrastructure's Role in Heat Waves

Weather Geeks ·

2022/07/06

Guest: Eric Klinenberg When we talk about preventing deaths from natural disasters, we often look at our physical infrastructure and how to build it to withstand withering conditions. But what about our social infrastructure: the network of spaces, institutions, and groups that help foster social connections? What role do they play in protecting the vulnerable? Our guest today is Eric Klinenberg, author of Heat Wave: A Social Autopsy of Disaster in Chicago, and it's an in depth look at the factors

Assessing Disaster Damage

Weather Geeks ·

2022/06/29

Guest: Dr. Tim Marshall Introduction: When natural disasters strike, those affected work to rebuild their lives and livelihoods; but before we rebuild, we must assess the damage that has occurred. By doing this, we can work to improve the structures where we live and work and hopefully prevent the same damage from happening again. Dr. Tim Marshall is joining us today and is one of the nation’s preeminent forensic engineers. He was also involved in the development team that produced the Enhanced

Bridging the Language Gap for Weather Alerts

Weather Geeks ·

2022/06/22

Guest: Joseph Trujillo Falcón Bilingual communities across the country are at a disadvantage when weather warnings are issued because the current infrastructure does not adequately translate the weather terminology into Spanish. Some progress has been made in recent years, but there is still a long way to go. Our next guest on Weather Geeks, Joseph Trujillo Falcón, is working to bridge the gap between weather warnings and bilingual communities… See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and

2022/06/15

Guest: Dr. Jim Kossin The 2020 and 2021 hurricane seasons were both above average based on the number of named storms. The changing climate and its impact on the strength and frequency of tropical cyclones is constantly being studied. Our next guest has focused his studies on hurricanes and the impacts that the climate and climate change are having on these systems. With another active hurricane season expected in 2022, we welcome Senior Scientist with The Climate Service, Dr. Jim Kossin, to this

Intercepting Tornadoes with Drones

Weather Geeks ·

2022/06/01

Guest: Dr. Adam Houston It’s been more than 25 years since the movie Twister came out, depicting scientists trying to gather data from inside tornadoes by leaving instruments in their paths. As happens with time, technology improves and now it’s not just in the movies where scientists are attempting to get data from inside a tornado. One group of scientists are using drones to intercept tornadoes to gather data to help shed light on their inner workings and also to help the National Weather Service

Guest: Dr. Kevin Petty Introduction: As technology has progressed over the past century, scientists and engineers have discovered ways to make technology smaller and smaller and still yield the same or even greater results. Satellite technology is no exception to this progress of miniaturization. Nanosatellites are satellites that have a mass between 1 and 10 kg and are populating low-level orbit more and more frequently. As of August 2021, over 1,600 nanosatellites were in orbit around Earth
