Media Exposure from a Wild Winter
2015-02-25 09:30:32.000 – Caleb Meute, Weather Observer/Education Specialist
Despite yesterday’s technological issues with my connection with The Weather Channel, I was still able to discuss the extreme climate that we deal with on a daily basis here on the summit of Mount Washington. With the severity of this winter, myself and Kaitlyn O’ Brien from the other shift have had quite a bit of media exposure. This has been great for the Observatory because we have been able to connect with different TV channels and even radio stations as far away as Los Angeles. As a non-profit organization, we rely fully on member support, so it is of the utmost importance for us to be able to reach as many people as possible. Our mission here at the Mount Washington Observatory is to advance the understanding of the natural systems that create Earth’s weather and climate. We serve this mission by maintaining our weather station on the summit of Mount Washington, and we perform weather and climate research along with conducting innovative science education programs. The education programs are one of my main responsibilities up here on the summit, and since I started working as a weather observer in December, I have seen how truly important these programs can be. Even the Live From the Rockpile programs that we hold at the Weather Discovery Center are crucial.
