Weather in Code: Building Tools, Visualizing Data, Engaging Students

Codes have a long history within meteorology in order to be able to communicate vast amounts of information in an efficient manner. These codes have made it possible for meteorologists to decode what is happening in the atmosphere and allow us to make predictions of the future based on data. This talk will briefly explore the history of how codes have been used in the meteorological field and their power in unlocking the mysteries of the atmosphere. Additionally, I’ll talk about my journey to helping build modern computing tools to better visualize and analyze atmospheric data and how it is used to engage our students and keep them at the forefront of our atmospheric and related sciences
