Episode 179: Ida Port-Mortem and Using Polar Orbiters to Track Wildfires
Tuesday Aug 31, 2021
Tuesday Aug 31, 2021
In this episode I give an update on what had been Hurricane Ida, now moving through the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys as a big rain-maker. A chronology of Ida is discussed highlighting the most interesting aspects of the tropical cyclone's brief but intense time on the weather stage. Also, the use of high-resolution infrared imagery from polar orbiting satellites for fire tracking is discussed, using the ongoing Caldor Fire in the Sierra Nevada as an example.
