⚠️ MAJOR WARNING SIGN ⚠️
The U.S. Department of Defense Blinds Scientists And Weather Forecasters Without Reason
🚩 It’s about to get real.
MUST READ
The U.S. Department of Defense will suddenly stop providing crucial satellite weather data on Monday, June 30, without providing any reason.
June 28. This week, the U.S. Department of Defense announced that it will no longer provide satellite weather data to scientists and weather forecasters, according to a notice published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA.
“I was surprised, given how important it is for forecasting hurricanes and monitoring important features like sea ice,” says Brian Tang, a hurricane researcher at the University at Albany. “This is data that forecasters use regularly.”
The Navy did not respond to questions about why it has stopped sharing the data with scientists and forecasters.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Space Force, which is responsible for the satellites, said in a statement that the satellites and instruments are still functional, and the Department of Defense will continue to use them even as it cuts off access for scientists.
Hurricane forecasters will be left without crucial information about storms as peak hurricane season looms in the Atlantic.
For more than 40 years, the Defense Department has operated satellites that collect information about conditions in the atmosphere and ocean.
A group within the Navy, called the Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center, processes the raw data from the satellites, and turns it over to scientists and weather forecasters who use it for a wide range of purposes including real-time hurricane forecasting and measuring sea ice in polar regions.
Forecasters rely on detailed satellite data to keep people out of harm’s way during extreme weather events, like wildfires, tornadoes, hurricanes and floods by increasing life-saving warning times.
But not any longer.
Have you seen all of the catastrophic flooding that has suddenly been happening around the world for the past two to three weeks?
It’s been surreal.
All these signs are pointing to one thing.
The Destroyer is arriving.
