School of Meteorology MS Thesis Defense A Statistical Approach to Diagnosing Storm Mode (Linear vs Isolated) Using Synoptic Scale Variables David Stang Wednesday, December 1st 1:00pm Join Zoom https://oklahoma.zoom.us/j/92145193800?pwd=U2NaaVBwenpXcUpXdk5WZVVyRXFmdz09 Determining storm mode (linear or isolated) is a crucial component of any severe weather forecast. Isolated storms are associated with a greater likelihood of significant (EF2+) […]
Boundary Layer, Urban Meteorology, and Land-Surface Processes Evaluation of the impacts of land-surface processes on the PBL: A case study on cropland and grassland Qingyu Wang Tuesday, November 30 2:00 PM Join Google Meet: http://meet.google.com/fcr-hokz-ubf Vegetation and soil moisture impact the surface energy partitioning, land-atmosphere feedbacks, and planetary boundary layer (PBL) characteristics. In this study, […]
School of Meteorology MS Thesis Defense Examining Novel Profiling Systems and Their Synergy for Advancing Boundary-Layer Research Tyler Bell Monday, November 29 11:00 AM Join Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/ost-ktmb-edk In recent years, increased attention has turned to studying the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) as new observing systems have been developed. Traditionally, the ABL has been […]
Convective Meteorology (Mesoscale Dynamics) Analysis of Hail Trajectories from the 29 May 2012 Kingfisher, OK Supercell Lauren Pounds Friday, November 19 3:00 PM Join Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/iru-ggiv-afj During the Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry Experiment (DC3), a wealth of data was collected on a hail-producing tornadic supercell near Kingfisher, OK on […]
Weather and Climate Systems Comparison of sea ice processes in observations and CESM2 data Madeline Clark Frank Wednesday, November 17 3:00 PM Online Arctic amplification is generally well represented in climate models. However, even the most sophisticated climate models have been unable to capture observed trends in various Arctic processes such […]
Convective Meteorology (Mesoscale Dynamics) Ice Crystal Size Distributions in Tropical Mesoscale Convective Systems in the Vicinity of Darwin, Australia: Results from the HAIC/HIWC Campaign Peter Brechner Wednesday, November 17 10:00 AM National Weather Center Room 1313 Or on Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/wyx-xvgt-wya Total ice water content (IWC) derived from an isokinetic evaporator […]
Boundary Layer, Urban Meteorology, and Land-Surface Processes A Sneak Peek into Techniques for Improving Boundary Layer Height Measurements Arianna Jordan Tuesday, November 16 2:00 PM Join Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/fcr-hokz-ubf The planetary boundary layer (PBL) is the lowest few kilometers of the atmosphere, where properties like wind velocity, turbulence, and aerosol backscatter vary on timescales shorter […]
Convective Meteorology (Mesoscale Dynamics) Identification and Verification of Quasi-Linear Convective Systems in the Warn-on-Forecast System Kelsey Britt Friday, November 12 3:00 PM Join Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/iru-ggiv-afj Quasi-linear convective systems (QLCSs) produce multiple hazards that pose a threat to life and property. These hazards include damaging straight-line winds, heavy precipitation that may lead […]
