Ep#10 - Jay Anderson - Climatology Turns To Weather

This episode we chat with the premier eclipse climate and weather expert, Jay Anderson.  He is the ultimate  ‘clear skies guy’ as creator of eclipseophile.com, which is THE standard for eclipse trip planning.  He has observed 34 solar eclipses including 24 total solar eclipses. Jay joins us remotely from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. At 10 days out from totality in 2024, we hear about his journey and listen to wise guidance as we transition from climate projections to weather models for the upcoming event. “Dream, travel, explore… you only go around once.” -Jay Anderson Link to Eclipsophile climatology and weather links: https://eclipsophile.com/Quick link to eclipse-day planning:https://eclipsophile.com/eclipse-day-weather/Jay's recent Sky & Telescope article:https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/what-will-the-weather-be-on-the-day-of-the-total-solar-eclipseJay's "Q&A With An Expert" with Space.com:https://www.space.com/total-solar-eclipse-weather-prospects-how-experts-make-predictions-q-and-aThe Eclipse Bulletin and Road Atlas (co-authored with Fred Espenak!):https://www.amazon.com/dp/1941983448https://www.mreclipse.com/pubs/Atlas2024.html Weather model chart collection at weather.us (ECMWF, ICON, GFS, NAM, HRRR):https://weather.us/model-chartsNational Weather Service CPC long range forecasts:https://www.weather.gov/hun/climateforecastWindy app (people love it):https://windy.app/blog/nam-vs-hrrr-weather-models.html3d printable counterbalance bracket to hold bottles or cans (modable).  Courtesy Preston Gregg:https://www.tinkercad.com/things/3zDFQ4HI246-beer-can-counterweight-v03Leticia Ferrer's site: https://texassolareclipses.com/Host Chris Chotas Alexander's Sitehttps://www.chotachrome.com/IG: @chotachromeTotality Talks is created by Leticia Ferrer and Chris Chotas Alexander.  Totality Talks is produced by Chris Chotas Alexander.
