The speaker for this presentation, a retired forecaster at the Canadian Meteorological Centre, will introduce the science of winds, from the basic principles to specific wind systems and extreme events such as tornadoes and hurricanes. There are identifiable wind patterns on earth, our presenter will explain what they are and what causes them. He will go on to introduce the scales for winds in different events. This is a zoom class, so attendees can join from the comfort of their own home or come in person at the Kamloops Sports Council.
