Part of the Soar Together @ Air and Space NOAA Family Day. This webinar features NOAA experts discussing the ways NOAA’s satellites and aircraft help monitor weather around the world. You will learn the role NOAA’s satellites play in understanding the weather, meet a physical scientist who focuses on volcanic ash forecasting, get to know a pilot who flies aerial missions into extreme weather, and finally, hear from a meteorologist about how NOAA analyzes and predicts the weather to help keep you safe.
