Fog Bank, November 14, 2011

Apologies for being so late with this week's Fogbank.
You can find me on Twitter, @skydaver, or on Google+, http://gplus.to/skydaver.

Help me keep Weatherbrains fog horn free for JB Elliott.  Send me interesting weather stuff, and I'll put it into the Fog Bank (or send it to JB)


First up,  an animated gif from the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies
 showing the development of a rare tropical cyclone in the Mediterranean Sea

This storm beat the heck out of the Volvo Ocean 70s trying to get to the Atlantic from Alicente, Spain.  One boat broke open its bow, another broke its mast.

The NOAA Environmental Visualization Laboratory (I think I'd been calling it Earth Visualization) has this picture of the Bering Straight Storm

Some pictures of the rain gauge that I setup to participate in COCORAHS

Along with the rain gauge,  WeatherYourWay (suppliers of the COCORAHS gauge) sent some nice posters along with the gauge
