WeatherBrains 657: Live from Japan
WeatherBrains Episode 657 is now online (August 20, 2018). If you are crazy about weather, this is THE netcast audio program for you!
Dr. David Bodine from the Advanced Radar Research Center (see link in Web sites section) in Norman, OK, is building the prototype phased-array radar. He will join us from Japan where he is working for a few months with researchers at Kyoto University. This is definitely one of the longest connections for a Guest WeatherBrain in the history of the podcast – perhaps THE longest.
Other discussions in this weekly podcast include topics like:
- Extremes: 119 at Death Valley, CA, and 30 at 3 miles east of Agate, NE
- Severe storms occurring in Mid-South Region
- Tuesday severe possible western PA to northern VA
- Tropical Atlantic is quiet
- Astronomy Outlook with Tony Rice
- and more!
Our email bag officer is dealing with a new graphics system, so we’ll give her a pass for this episode. Quadruple mail bag results next week.
