Keeping Up the PACE with NASA

Weather Geeks ·

2020/05/20

Guest: Ivona Cetinic, NASA Oceanographer Introduction: NASA does a lot more than mapping our solar system...they have also been mapping our oceans for over 20 years! The ocean is extremely important in our Earth’s health, circulation, and economy, so it is equally as important that our ocean is in good health too! In 2022, NASA will be launching the PACE mission, which stands for Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem, to further advance their understanding of our oceanic and atmospheric

The Science of Climate Drawdown

Weather Geeks ·

2020/04/22

Guest: Dr. Marilyn Brown, Georgia Tech Introduction: The word “drawdown” is used in multiple fields, from banking to investing, but for today’s episode, the most important use of the word is in climatology. Climate drawdown is the point at which greenhouse gas concentrations begin to decline on a year-to-year basis in order to reach carbon neutrality. The United States still has to take many steps in order to achieve drawdown, but there are many teams of brilliant scientists across the

Severe Storms & Tornadoes - Ties to Climate Change

Weather Geeks ·

2020/04/15

Guest: Dr. Harold Brooks, NSSL Introduction: The United States is known to produce some of nature’s most severe weather as it allows for just the right ingredients to come together. As extreme weather becomes a more common occurrence, many have begged the question: Will we see more severe storms and even tornadoes as our world continues to warm? Today’s guest is Dr. Harold Brooks of the National Severe Storms Research Lab, and his research seeks to help answer this very question. His

Guest: Dan Lindsey, GOES-R Program Scientist Introduction: While the debate of “model wars” continues into the new decade, the satellite technology that the United States has advanced over the years is second-to-none! Being able to see the atmosphere from a top-down view has changed the way that meteorologists around the world can forecast the daily weather. They can see where severe storms are to provide up-to-the-second forecasts in order to keep people safe. One of the men behind these great

Flooding from a Hydrologist’s Perspective

Weather Geeks ·

2020/04/01

Guest: Michael Kane, Water Resources Engineer Introduction: Hydrology is the study of the movement, distribution and management of water on Earth, including the water cycle, water resources, and environmental watershed sustainability. Hydrologists work with other scientists to investigate how water impacts their respective fields, so meteorologists and hydrologists have a special relationship. Meteorologists focus on the water coming down from the sky, and the hydrologists focus on what that

Introduction: A lot of people choose to live in a certain place based on how the winters are. If you love wearing big comfy sweaters and playing out in the snow, odds are you live in the midwestern or northeastern United States. If you would rather turn on your heat for only a couple days in the season and enjoy the occasional chilly, rainy day, then you’d love the south! Regardless of the region, scientists have developed a method that can measure how severe the winter has been where you live. It
