Weather Geeks

You see it every day. It’s the subject of poetry, literature, art and film. It can inspire spiritual experiences, and it can destroy everything you have ever worked for. It is the weather, and no one knows it better than we do. Join us every week for the agony and the ecstasy of the one story that the entire world participates in and the science behind it. From the people behind The Weather Channel TV network.

    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.

    Compound Disasters Along the Gulf Coast

    In this episode of Weather Geeks, Marshall Shepherd speaks with Roy Wright from the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety (IBHS) about the challenges of compound disasters, particularly in the Gulf Coast region. They discuss the recent National Academies report that examines the impact of overlapping disasters, including hurricanes and the COVID-19 pandemic, on vulnerable communities. The conversation highlights the need for improved communication, community engagement, and policy changes to better prepare for and respond to these increasingly frequent and intense events.

    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.

    Painting the Weather

    Artist Bill Haskell discusses how he incorporates the weather into his landscape paintings. He shares his fascination with weather, particularly sparked by a tornado outbreak in 1974. Living in New Mexico, Haskell finds inspiration in the dramatic skies and monsoon thunderstorms. He describes his process of painting emotions and memories inspired by the weather, using a combination of realism and fiction. Haskell also discusses the inclusion of tornadoes in his artwork as a metaphor for change in life. He emphasizes the importance of creating a unique style and advises aspiring artists to incorporate weather into their work.

    NOAA: Undervalued and Underfunded?

    In this episode of the Weather Geeks podcast, former NOAA Chief of Staff Scott Rayder discusses the importance of funding for NOAA and the challenges the agency faces. He emphasizes that NOAA's diverse mission, which includes weather forecasting, oceanography, and fisheries, requires more funding to meet the increasing demands. Rayder highlights the significant improvements in weather forecasting and the need for continued research to enhance track and intensity forecasts for hurricanes. He also discusses the evolving landscape of weather modeling, the role of private companies, and the importance of social science in effectively communicating weather risks to the public. Rayder calls for greater recognition and support for NOAA's critical work in protecting life and property.

    Touching Base with NASA's PACE

    The PACE mission, which stands for Plankton Aerosol Cloud Ocean Ecosystem, is a NASA mission that aims to capture the complexity of Earth's interconnected ecosystems. It is a crucial mission in the face of urgent environmental challenges. PACE equips us with knowledge and tools to confront these challenges. The mission has been 20 years in the making and was launched on February 8th, 2022. It consists of three instruments: the Ocean Color Instrument, HARP2, and SPECS1. These instruments measure the color of the ocean, aerosols in the atmosphere, and the role of clouds in the Earth system. PACE provides valuable data for understanding and managing ocean ecosystems, climate, air quality, and more. The mission has international partners and aims to contribute to scientific discovery and the development of early career scientists.

    Can Pollen Change The Weather?

    The conversation discusses the impact of pollen on allergy sufferers and the development of a new pollen forecast by scientists at NOAA. It also delves into Dr. Jordan Schnell's background, research interests, and work on air quality forecasting, including the effects of electric vehicles on air quality. The conversation then shifts to the modeling of pollen and its interaction with weather, highlighting the potential health implications of pollen particles. The model's performance in predicting early blooms is also discussed. Dr. Jordan Schnell from CIRES discusses the quantitative analysis of pollen forecasts, the impact of pollen on weather, and the use of AI in modeling. He also shares insights on the future of pollen forecasting and other projects at CIRES.
