To fully understand storms 🌪️, you need more information about what happens inside the clouds ☁️, and from October 2021 through September 2022, that is exactly what the TRacking Aerosol Convection interactions Experiment (#ARMTRACER) set out to provide. TRACER originated as a proposal from Michael Jensen, a meteorologist from Brookhaven National Laboratory, to deploy an ARM Mobile Facility to the Houston, Texas, region for the study of deep convective clouds—the kind that pack⚡and pour 🌧️. Check out this video from Jensen as he shares what makes a good ARM proposal: https://bit.ly/3LsovDf U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) #DOEClimateScience #ClimateScience

After days of posting desktop GIS tutorials, let's move on to remote sensing topic. In this video, we demonstrates how to perform Sen2Cor atmospheric correction for Sentinel-2 Level-1C Top-of-Atmospheric (TOA) reflectance products. The procedure would compensate atmospheric effects and convert the images into Below-of-Atmospheric (BOA) reflctance. #TutorialTuesday https://lnkd.in/gGR7xtEi

A Review of the Institute of Water's Beginners Guide to Leakage webinar today - Leak Detectives: Adapting NASA's technology for earthly applications and more! The presenter, James Hargrave, as the Regional Leakage Operations Manager at Anglian Water, demonstrated a deep understanding of the multifaceted issue of leakage within the water industry. He adeptly covered various facets, including the different types of leaks, external factors like climate change impacting leakage rates, and the complexities involved in accurately calculating leakage levels due to factors such as aging infrastructure and population growth. One of the strengths of the webinar was its exploration of the diverse techniques employed for leak detection in the region. From traditional methods like district meters to innovative solutions such as smart meters and satellite technology, James provided a thorough overview of the arsenal of tools available. Particularly noteworthy was the insight into private side leakage, which can significantly contribute to overall leakage levels, emphasizing the need for comprehensive monitoring strategies. The inclusion of cutting-edge technologies like drones equipped with thermographic imaging equipment showcased Anglian Water's commitment to staying at the forefront of leak detection methods. Furthermore, the utilization of sniffer dogs for detecting chlorine in rural areas highlighted the innovative approaches employed to address leakage challenges across diverse environments. Overall, James' webinar was both educational and engaging, offering valuable insights into the complexities of leakage management and the diverse strategies employed by Anglian Water to address this critical issue. His expertise, coupled with the passion of the dedicated professionals in the field, underscores Anglian Water's commitment to delivering efficient and sustainable water services to the region.

The Science Behind Lightning and Thunder Lightning and thunder are spectacular natural phenomena that arise from the complex interactions of electrical charges in the atmosphere. Both are integral parts of thunderstorms, yet they are distinct in… #thunder >>> Read more

The next major forecast test for A.I. global weather models will be the extended period of very impactful and extremely cold temperatures across much of the Lower 48 due to multiple troughs rotating around the main tropospheric "polar vortex" anchored in Canada. Some ensemble solutions from various conventional models are unbelievable w/freeze to Miami and another sub-optimal flash cold in Texas. My assumption is that GraphCast seen here -- is a useful tool to determine reduce uncertainty in conventional NWP ensembles by favoring/disfavoring clustered solutions. Of course, need a large library of A.I. hindcasts to post-process, but thankfully, they cost a few pennies to run.

Do companies allow employees to take off work to observe the total eclipse (or other rare atmospheric phenomena)? Where will you be? #totaleclipse #eclipse2024 #funnyglasses

We return with Part III of Dr. Justin Sharp’s climate and weather intelligence series, which continues to discuss the necessary attributes for weather datasets by utilizing a real world example of the Columbia River Gorge (with pictures!). In this third installment, he covers the importance of understanding grid spacing “resolution” to accurately model topographical features that drive local weather phenomena, all the while raising an important distinction between synthesized data from numerical weather prediction methods versus data from observations. Pairing explanation with energetic topographic visuals, Dr. Sharp expertly breaks down how resolution represents actual weather conditions for power systems modeling.
