The feature film Pressure, starring Andrew Scott as James Stagg and Brendan Fraser as General Dwight D. Eisenhower, opens today. It tells the story of Stagg, the UK Met Office meteorologist who served as chief meteorological advisor for the D-Day invasion, and the creation of the weather forecast that helped shape history.
Watch the fascinating discussion with an esteemed group of panelists who talked about the movie and the science behind the D-Day forecast. Moderated by meteorologist, writer, and historian Sean Potter, the special AMS webinar featured Anthony Maras, the director of Pressure; Colby College Professor Emeritus James Rodger Fleming; and two technical advisors for the film, meteorologists Jim Galvin and Martin Young.
