On the 17th of this month, I attended a webinar on Lake Effect Systems and the studies going on. A number of distinguished meteorologists taked about the team effort to study LES on Lake Ontario a few years ago. The PhDs gave great credit to their hard-working undergrads who braved difficult winter conditions to set up and manage all of the tools and instruments and trucks and vehicles to gather all of the data. While the technical details were beyond my current understanding, the core ideas were quite accessible and interesting.
Hosted by the Weather Band, a group of “weather enthusiasts,” mostly non-meteorologists, run by the American Meteorological Society.
