Research in Brief

Climate change, conflict, and TV weather
March 1, 2013 | Broadcast meteorologists are a leading source of information about the atmosphere for the general public, but many of them avoid mentioning global warming on the air. New research finds several barriers that may keep weathercasters from addressing the science of climate change.

Proper alignment may be key to hurricanes
February 25, 2013 | Rita, Katrina, Sandy—these are familiar as the names of three of the most destructive hurricanes in recent history. Early warnings from reliable forecasts can allow thousands of people to evacuate in the path of such frightening and potentially deadly weather events, and the sooner such a warning can be issued, the better.  But if a storm fizzles after a warning goes out, that also creates risks, as people may be less likely to take precautions the next time a storm threatens—a syndrome known as warning fatigue.
