Boundary Layer, Urban Meteorology, and Land-Surface Processes Large Eddy Simulations of Stable Boundary Layers and Implications for UAS Sampling Brian R. Greene Tuesday April 20th 1:00 pm Join Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/taw-hdgp-cfe The stable boundary layer (SBL) has significant societal impacts ranging from pollution dispersion to wind energy production. It is therefore […]
Convective Meteorology (Mesoscale Dynamics) Seminar Vorticity Characteristics During Tornadogenesis in a High Resolution, Violently Tornadic Supercell Simulation Austin Dixon Friday, April 16th 3:00pm Join Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/ksh-txvg-kni It’s no stretch to say that the exact process of tornadogenesis remains somewhat of a mystery. Having the “tornado-in-a-bottle” scenario that we have here […]
School of Meteorology Colloquium The Creation and Analysis of Next-Day Random Forest-Based High-Impact Weather Forecasts Eric Loken Friday, April 16th 11:00 am Join Google Meet: meet.google.com/tbg-ozvi-wsv High-impact weather events—including flash floods, tornadoes, damaging winds, and large hail—are difficult to predict, even with high-resolution numerical weather prediction (NWP) models, due to initial condition […]
