WeatherBrains Episode 77

Big Howdy from Texas! This week’s episode of WeatherBrains is called “Hurricanes…(chirp)…Waves…(chirp)…”. You’ll have to figure out why on your own, but as usual, it is trouble. Here are the show notes, let us know what you think!

We’ll get a season update from Phil Klotzbach from Colorado State and The Tropical Meteorology Project. We’ll also remind the skeptics that the peak of hurricane season is still a few months away;

Waves: Researchers at Colorado State University and Oregon State University are doing a first-of-its-kind study this year to learn more about how hurricane driven waves affect woodframe structures. In the wake of hurricane Katrina the research, done in the giant tsunami wave tank at Oregon State, will provide valuable information to engineers and builders. David Black visits with associate professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering John van de Lindt from Colorado State;

And…what is that noise? Must have something to do with Brian Peters. Also, J.B. cruises The Great Lakes;
