WeatherBrains Episode 978 Tonight! Cracking the Weather Code with Sean Potter

| October 14, 2024 @ 5:00 pm

Joining us on the show tonight is Meteorologist, Science Writer and Weather Historian Sean Potter.  His latest featured article for Weatherwise Magazine is entitled, “Cracking the Weather Code: How Early Weather Observers Used Encryption to Communicate Information.”

From Sean’s LinkedIn Page about the article: “It delves deep into the history of the unusual practice used by the early predecessors of the National Weather Service of enciphering weather observations for more simplified transmission via telegraph. Using historical documents, newspaper articles, and reminiscences of former Signal Service observers, the article explores the creation, evolution, and eventual demise of this interesting chapter in the history of weather observing and forecasting.”

Should be a fascinating show!  Join us at 8pm ET/7pm CT LIVE on our YouTube channel.
