In this special episode of Atmospheric Turbulence, we embark on a journey of more than ten hours of conversations, science, history and human experiences condensed into forty intense minutes. From the cockpit, Albert Martínez guides us through the fascinating universe of hurricanes: how they are born, feed and transform our coasts and our lives.
With the voice of experience and the passion of a communicator who has lived storms from the inside, we explore the mysteries of the wind, the ocean and the sky with a clear, visual and human language. Beyond meteorology, this chapter takes us to the heart of coastal cities where nature and everyday life intersect. Miami, a symbol of resilience and vulnerability, serves as a starting point to talk about migration, reconstruction and the Latino community. We hear stories of those who faced historic hurricanes like Andrew or Maria, but also of those who build resilience from education, culture and gastronomy.
Finally, the conversation rises to reflection: how do we learn to coexist with a changing planet? Through science, memory and emotion, this special reminds us that climate is not just a physical phenomenon, but a profoundly human experience. Atmospheric Turbulence invites us to look at the sky with respect, the sea with awareness, and our homes - and our decisions - with a new perspective on the fragility and strength of life.
