What are the historical events that have been impacted by weather? How does the study of meteorology affect industry, military and the private sector? What could have been done differently to save lives in the 1900 Galveston Hurricane or the 1953 storm of the century?
Dr. Elizabeth Smith, a research meteorologist at NOAA and board member for the National Weather Museum, shares that there is so much we can learn by studying the fluid aspects of our atmosphere. Dr. Vladimir Jankovic, professor at the University of Manchester, explains that a significant advancement in history has been how we use instruments rather than only observation to predict weather events.
