In this month’s Dearest Alaska, we are spending a night with Bob Ten Eyck, one of the National Weather Service meteorologists who reside in Nome and provide the weather forecasts for Western Alaska.
The weather has such an impact on a person’s life, especially in rural Alaska. In this episode, we spend time with Bob Ten Eyck as he analyzes data, releases a weather balloon, and passes the long hours of his mid-shift that lasts from midnight to eight in the morning.
Dearest Alaska is a new audio project; the program will be available on this website and broadcast live on the first Saturday and Sunday of every month at 12noon and 5pm on KNOM (96.1 FM, 780 AM).
If you or someone you know would like to participate in an episode of Dearest Alaska, please contact KNOM at 907-443-5221 or dearest.alaska@knom.org.
