Description:
In late April and May of 2024, the southern Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul experienced a prolonged period of extremely heavy rainfall which led to catastrophic flooding and more than 100 fatalities. This extreme meteorological event was captured by a wide range of NOAA satellite retrieval products ranging from precipitation rates, soil moisture, to atmospheric water vapor, and temperature soundings. The seminar speakers will present an overview of the event, and describe how the various satellite products are able to provide insights on the nature of such extreme phenomena, as well as discuss some of the remaining challenges in using satellite products to observe such historic, fast-changing events.
