Episode 179: Ida Port-Mortem and Using Polar Orbiters to Track Wildfires

from The Daily Bolt · host Dr. Jeff Tilley

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.  For images referenced in the discussion, see the episode on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/YC7_5p0dsOY
