WeatherBrains 85: “The Proenza Effect”
WeatherBrains Episode 85 is now online (September 10, 2007). This is THE netcast audio program for people who love everything weather.
In this week’s Episode:
Join The Party, Be Average: Continuing a rant from last week, we begin the change from normal to average.
The “Proenza Effect”:Â Bill Proenza, ousted Director of the National Hurricane Center, gets his new assignment from NOAA, and it is an old one.
Which Way The Weather Service: There is no question that the men and women of the National Weather Service do a tremendous job and are a bargan at any price. Sparked by the Bill Proenza assignment, we’ll talk about the future of NWS and wonder if politics will win out over performance.
Men In Black: Not the movie, but Brian and Kevin are wondering if the Secret Service might be paying closer attention to them from now on.
From The Weather Center:
- WeatherBrains 101: The sun is the driving force behind our weather, but how does all that heat move around? Professor Peters gets all hot under the collar as he tackles the transportation of heat via radiation, conduction, and convection in this latest discussion.
- This Week In Weather History: Bill Murray remembers a big hurricane that sends James on a trip down memory lane.
Join James Spann, Kevin Selle, and Brian Peters for the latest look at the field of weather in the newest episode of WeatherBrains.
