Forecasting D-Day: The Questions We Didn’t Have Time to Answer
The AMS webinar Forecasting D-Day: The Science Behind History and the Story Behind Pressure explored one of the most consequential weather forecasts in history: the prediction that helped determine the timing of the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. The discussion generated more questions than time allowed and AMS Headlines followed up with moderator Sean Potter and panelists Jim Galvin, James Fleming, Martin Young, and Anthony Maras–as well as meteorologist Stephen Burt who was a consultant on Pressure–to help answer some of the audience's most intriguing follow-ups.
