SUMMARY:Presentation and Book Signing with Author Ty Gagne
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE: EVENT IS SOLD OUT. \nTy Gagne\, author of the new book The Lions of Winter: Survival and Sacrifice on Mount Washington\, will give a presentation on Saturday\, February 8 from 4:30 to 5:30 PM inside MEDITECH’s auditorium (7 Blue Hill River Rd\, Canton\, MA 02021). Learn about Gagne’s unique process of research and storytelling\, as well as the weather and climate science shaping our understanding of avalanches in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. A brief overview connecting avalanches with the increasing frequency of rain-on-snow will be followed by Gagne’s presentation\, Q&A\, and book signing. Copies of the book will be available for purchase. This event is FREE and open to the public. Donations will benefit co-hosts Mount Washington Observatory and Blue Hill Observatory\, both nonprofit organizations. \nAbout The Lions of Winter\nOn January 25\, 1982\, Mountain Rescue Service volunteer Albert Dow became the first – and so far the only – member of a backcountry search and rescue team to be killed in the line of duty in the White Mountains. This happened during a four-day search for two missing ice climbers on Mount Washington. Dow was caught in an avalanche in terrain previously thought to present no risk. His teammate\, Michael Hartrich\, was injured in the accident. Gagne relies on Mount Washington Observatory weather data in part to tell the story. \nThe Lions of Winter describes the ordeal of the missing climbers\, the selflessness and courage of the dedicated rescuers\, the tragic circumstances surrounding the avalanche\, and the heartbreak of the family\, friends\, and teammates of the fallen rescuer. Gagne also chronicles how this grueling event became a landmark of White Mountain history\, ushering in a new era in the search and rescue community of New Hampshire

SUMMARY:Science in the Mountains Lecture Series: Forensic Meteorology
DESCRIPTION:Meteorology and the Law: The History and Science of Forensic Meteorology\nAlicia Wasula\, Ph.D.\, Certified Consulting Meteorologist\, President\, STM Weather  \nWhile most people think of meteorologists as scientists who spend their time looking forward into the future to make a forecast\, forensic meteorologists spend their time looking backward at weather events that have already occurred. Many types of litigation involve the weather in some way: personal injury\, property damage claims\, wrongful death\, and even criminal cases. Forensic meteorologists are retained by attorneys as ‘expert witnesses’ to explain to them and to the court what the weather conditions were like relating to a particular incident. Sometimes\, expert meteorologists must give opinions as to how the weather conditions played a role in the particular event involved in the lawsuit. Observational data from many sources\, including CoCoRaHS observers\, is synthesized into a chronology of weather events. Although many cases settle outside of court\, forensic meteorologists are at times required to appear in court to discuss their research and explain their opinion to a judge or a jury. Many forensic meteorologists hold the AMS Certified Consulting Meteorologist certification\, which attests to their knowledge\, ethics and experience. In addition to conducting scientific analysis\, forensic meteorologists must be excellent communicators who are able to explain their findings clearly to non-scientists. \nIn this webinar\, we will discuss the long history of the field of forensic meteorology\, learn how observational data is used to understand the meteorological conditions\, and look at several interesting examples which demonstrate how forensic meteorologists help attorneys understand the weather as it relates to a specific case. \nClick Here to Register

SUMMARY:Weather Band Jamposium 2025
DESCRIPTION:Save the date for Weather Band Jamposium 2025! This free webinar  series offers engaging discussions\, expert insights\, and a deeper understanding of the fascinating world of weather. Senior Staff Meteorologist Ryan Knapp will be presenting alongside moderator and MWOBS trustee Lourdes Avilés on Friday 2/28—Learn more about their presentation on Atmospheric Optics below\, and learn more/register here. \nLight in Air: Understanding and Appreciating Atmospheric Optics\nAtmospheric optics–how light from the sun\, moon\, and other sources interacts with our atmosphere–is the source of some of nature’s most fascinating sights\, from sunset reds to icy halos and colorful rainbows. This session focuses on the science and cultural significance of atmospheric optical effects\, as well as how to observe them and capture them in photographs. In other words\, understanding and appreciating what we can see in the sky.
