An Overview of Artificial Intelligence in NOAA.
Burning fossil fuels has long powered world economies while contributing to air pollution and the buildup of greenhouse gases.
Jon Nese, host of Penn State’s “Weather World,” says you can trace the roots of a longtime partnership with the astronomy and astrophysics department to the ancient Greek meaning of the word “meteorology.”
Since 1890, the National Weather Service has relied on a network of volunteer observers.
The measures instituted in April to help curb the spread of COVID-19 across the United States may hold clues for improving air quality, according to researchers.
With the tropical storm season in the Atlantic Ocean underway, better storm track prediction has allowed timely evacuations and preparations.

Increasing ambient temperature is a major stressor to bees and a potential driver of pollinator decline. The video features the research done by an Entomology doctoral student Laura Jones, who is investigating the impact of environmental warming on bee pollinators. The IEE-funded collaborative project is under the leadership of Dr. Margarita Lopez-Uribe (https://lopezuribelab.com/). METEO Professor Jose D. Fuentes is collaborating with the Entomology team to investigate how microclimatic temperature variations impact thermal tolerance in bees. The team is currently manufacturing devices to do thermal tolerance assays of bees that will inform about the resilience of pollinators to climate change.
The show is posted at WPSU each weekday at 5:30 p.m. and will be available on demand until 5:30 p.m. the following day. >>Watch Now
