WeatherBrains 177: Weather Author Jay Barnes
WeatherBrains Episode 177 is now online (June 15, 2009). If you are crazy about weather, this is THE netcast audio program for you!
wb061509.mp3Our special guest on this show is Jay Barnes, an author who has written two books on the history of hurricanes in Florida and North Carolina. Jay’s books look at hurricane history from a human perspective. Fortunately Jay has time to share a few of those stories with WeatherBrains listeners.
Other discussions in this weekly podcast include topics like:
Our mail box sees some mail and we have a temporary email officer. You may be surprised who picks up the reins of this job and how many emails he has.
From The Weather Center:
WeatherBrains 101: Hurricane season is with us and the area where tropical systems form has a special name – it’s called the doldrums. What does that mean and where exactly are those doldrums. Professor Peters delves into the topic involving another unusual name.
