Fogbank for Sept. 12, 2011

Hello WeatherBrains Listeners, this is the Fogbank, listener supplied
picks of the week, keeping Weatherbrains foghorn free for JB.

I'm Dave Phillips, from Winston Salem, NC, skydaver on twitter. Send

My first pick is an image of Hurricane Katia  from NASA Earth Observatory

Next up, the NWS Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service
Observed precipitation totals interactive webpage.

The third pick is a video about Hurricane Hunters flying into Nate.  A
meteorologist from WKRG flew along with them for this trip.

Fourth up, a study from the Univ of Miami School of Marine &
Atmospheric science correlates El Nino, La Nina & neutral conditions
with hurricane landfall probabilities.  The article appears in the
American Meteorological Society's Journal of Climate

I'll close out with a article from Scientific American on forensic meteorology
