Fog Bank, October 22, 2012

Caught up!


Chip Redmond posted an article on Tornado Titans about moisture and its role in thunderstorms.

NOAA Weather Partners released one of their Bite Sized Science videos about phased array weather radar

There's also an article that has more information
http://www.nssl.noaa.gov/research/radar/par.php

USGS Water Science School has a nice page on rain information
http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/earthrain.html

Jared Rennie (@jjrennie) sent a link to http://www.cyclonecenter.org/#/about, a project to crowd source analysis of past hurricanes.  It seems very interesting.

The Earth Observatory has a nice article on the positioning of the GOES satellites when GOES-13 developed problems.

Now that GOES-13 is back online, do they leave 14 where it is, or do they expend the fuel to put it back into its standby orbit?

My Pick for JB
A great cloud photo from Earth Science Picture of the Day last Friday
