Webinar for Storm Spotters: Climate Change, Mitigation & Mobile Apps Presented
National Weather Service (NWS) Storm Spotters attended a web seminar on 10 May 2011 presented by Steve Ackerman and Margaret Mooney from the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS).
The topics were climate change, climate mitigation, and emerging applications to monitor weather and climate using mobile devices. CIMSS hopes to leverage the wealth of human capital cultivated by the NWS with storm spotters’ history of community service and passion for weather to cultivate a similar mitigation and stewardship response to climate change.
CIMSS would like to thank Rusty Kapela, Warning Coordination Meteorologist from Milwaukee/Sullivan, for helping to recruit spotters and Erin Robinson from the Federation of Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) for hosting and recording the webinar which is available for viewing.
