WeatherBrains 84: Felix Lashes Out
WeatherBrains Episode 84 is now online (September 3, 2007). This is THE netcast audio program for people who love weather.
In this week’s Episode:
Hurricane Hunters: We are still in the heart of hurricane season, and Hurricane Felix is the focus for this episode of Weather Brains. Felix is the focus, but the topic really centers on the Hurricane Hunters. These folks fly missions into and through hurricanes including monsters like Category Five Felix collecting critical data for forecasters, and sometimes things do not go well. Such was the case with a mission of N42RF that was literally tossed around by Felix. Join the Weather Brains crew for a discussion of this particular flight.
From The Weather Center:
WeatherBrains 101: TUTT. Are we digging into archaeology or what? Nope, this has nothing to do with that famous find in Egypt by Howard Carter back in the 1930. This is a meteorological acronym that refers to the Tropical Upper Tropspheric Trough which is a fairly common feature about which not a great deal is currently known. But we’ll still take a stab at an explanation of TUTT since we are into the heart of hurricane season.- This Week In Weather History: It’s known as the worst disaster in American history. And Bill Murray looks back at the Galveston Hurricane that occurred this week in 1900.
