WeatherBrains Episode 168<\/a> is now online (April 14, 2009). If you are crazy about weather, this is THE<\/strong> netcast audio program for you!<\/p>\nwb041409.mp3<\/a>\n

Dr. Tim discusses the recent wind event that occurred across parts of Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia. The event has been called a gravity wave or a wake low, so Dr. Tim describes the event which he explains was both. Wake lows were first identified by Dr. Ted Fujita which is rapidly descending air on the back side of a large rain area dropping the pressure quickly. This creates a gradient of pressure similar to a hurricane.<\/p>\n

Other discussions in this weekly podcast include topics like:<\/p>\n
