What is Forensic Meteorology?
Forensic Meteorology is the detailed study of past weather records, data and Meteorological information and the appliance of the data and our findings to various litigations and weather related claims that occurred sometime in the past. It is the determination of past weather conditions for a specific location and time, accomplished by analyzing and interpreting past weather records and reports. Most litigation cases involve accidents that occur far away from weather reporting stations. In these instances, We obtain the weather records from several different places surrounding the incident location to determine the prevailing weather and/or ground conditions for a specific time and location. By getting these weather records from different locations for several days before the incident occurred, we are able to establish what the pre-existing weather and ground conditions were and how that may have had an affect on what happened in your case.
