    Atmospheric Insights at NCAR

    Guest: Everette Joseph, Director of NCAR Description: We have the NWS, NOAA. and NCEI, but another very valuable member of the meteorological alphabet soup is NCAR, the National Center for Atmospheric Research! However, NCAR is not constricted by any government regulations, so they are free to dissect the atmosphere as they please. However, they have a mission to uphold, just like our government organizations, to understand the world around and above us so they can indirectly protect future lives and property. Today on Weather Geeks, we have the Director of NCAR Everette Joseph to chat about atmospheric research in the past, present and future!

    Fall Foliage Forecasting

    Evan Fisher, creator of explorefall.com, discusses the science and data behind fall foliage forecasting. He explains how he became interested in weather and specifically fall foliage, and how he started creating fall foliage maps during the COVID-19 pandemic. Fisher uses remote sensing and satellite data to analyze the greenness of vegetation and identify peak fall color. He also incorporates weather data, such as temperature and precipitation, into his models. Fisher discusses the challenges of forecasting fall foliage and the impact of climate change on the timing and vibrance of fall colors. He also mentions his future plans to expand Explore Fall globally and incorporate other natural phenomena, such as apple blooms and rhododendron and mountain laurel blooms.

    The Triple Whammy Flood Problem

    Dr. Matt Bilskie discusses compound flooding, which occurs when multiple flooding sources combine during a storm, such as storm surge, riverine flooding, and heavy rainfall. He explains the hazards associated with each component and how they can interact to increase flooding. Dr. Bilskie emphasizes the importance of understanding and mitigating compound flooding to protect coastal communities. He also discusses his research on coastal resiliency, including the use of computational models and field observations to simulate and study storm surge, tides, and waves. Dr. Bilskie highlights the significance of nature-based solutions, such as barrier islands and wetlands, in reducing flooding and protecting coastal ecosystems. He emphasizes the need for collaboration between researchers, stakeholders, and decision-makers to implement effective mitigation and adaptation strategies.
