Welcome back fog
In which we learn about the marine layer and measure things from space.
Sup bro?
We covered storm chasing a bit in a previous newsletter, so I found this article by Barb Mayes Boustead pretty timely. She offers some perspective and solutions for (hopefully) improving the storm chasing culture.
All the tools
NOAA has a tool that gives you access to both realtime and historical water level data. Here’s a link to the tool if you want to explore a bit, or you can read more about.
And then there’s this tool too.
Some March recaps
It was indeed a busy month.
There’s also a longer form writeup if you’re interested.
The fog is back
But what exactly is the marine layer? I’m glad you asked.
Winter go brr
New Weather West post
Found over on the website as usual and he did office hours earlier today.
Maybe all the weather data is a bad thing?
The Atlantic published an article highlighting weather apps and all the data that’s available to people these days. We’ve talked a bit about weather apps before too.
The Atlantic Article is interesting because it talks about our relationship with weather apps, and also how all of this weather data might be a bad thing. Just about anyone can look through weather models but few can interpret them the way meteorologists do.
Now measuring from space
You’re likely aware of sites like Purple Air that measure air quality. Well now we get to measure it from space.
Let’s learn about tornado alley
And if you’re interested in how tornadoes are rated, here you go.
Hey, we were just asking about that
In a previous office hours that Daniel Swain did, I asked about wind in a warming climate. It’s a pretty complex topic, but there’s a report that recently came out related to winds and hurricanes in Florida and the Gulf coast. Kinda neat.
Looks like we passed it after all
Notes are live
Substack introduced Notes today. If you log into Substack or if you use the Substack app, you can read and share notes. Maybe I’ll see you around there! I’ll be posting short form stuff, photos, etc.
I’ve also enabled chat for the Weather Feed. Like Notes, you can use the browser or the Substack app to chat with me and any other Weather Feed subscribers.
We see you Mount Shasta
See you next time weather fam!
P.S. It looks like tweets are still being blocked from rendering in Substack so I took screenshots of all the tweets and added links.
