Fog Bank, August 13, 2012

Hello WeatherBrains, this is David Phillips with the Fog Bank for August 13th, 2012.  James let me down last week, and replayed my July 30 Fogbank, so I'll start putting the date in.  The August 6th Fog Bank posted here as wel.

I'd also like to point out that Kevin ran Picks of the Week right off the rails last week, along with generally hijacking the show.

On to the picks.

First up, from NOAA Coastal Services Center, Historical Hurricane Tracks. This is a nice interactive site

My second pick is yet another Haboob photo, this one from Earth Science Picture of the Day.

Next, Tom Niziol of the Weather Channel @TomNiziol, posted an article on Radar Imagery of Bird Rings

The fourth pick comes from Harold Brooks, of NOAA Weather Partners, with an article on the 2012 tornado 'drought'

Finally, NASA Earth Observatory has two pictures and a nice article about Saharan dust being transported across the Atlantic to the Americas

Skydaver out!
