Mauricio Ilha da Oliveira- April 26- Convective Meteorology Seminar

PhD student: Mauricio Ilha de Oliveira Friday, April 26, NWC 5600, 3:00pm Evolution of low-level updraft and three-dimensional vorticity during tornadogenesis in an idealized supercell simulation   Abstract: Among all the hazards inflicted by severe convective storms, tornadoes have the potential to cause the most extreme devastation. Despite large advances in our knowledge of the […]

Briana Lynch (MS Seminar)- April 26

Abstract: Understanding flows within the urban canopy layer is crucial for determining the distribution of particulate matter in urban areas and implications for air quality and human health. While multiple studies have been conducted to understand plume characteristics in urban environments, plume behavior close to point sources (< 1 km) and the effects of buildings and foliage on plume characteristics are not well understood.

Alison Boehmer- April 26-Special Weather and Climate Seminar

Special Weather and Climate Seminar Firm Behavior in the Face of Severe Weather: Studying the Effects of Deterministic and Probabilistic Warning Systems Alison Boehmer Friday, April 26th NWC 1350/11:00 am   In the face of increasing severe weather, particularly tornadoes, it is necessary to understand how firms process and react to information related to storms.

Dr. John Walsh- April 24

Daniel Tripp- April 24 – Weather and Climate

Abstract: In the southern great plains, winter weather can have large impacts due to heavy icing and inadequate mitigation resources. The boundary between cold arctic air from the north and warm gulf moisture to the south is a consistent forecasting challenge for models even in the short-term.

Dr.Suzana Camargo- April 22nd

The social and economic impacts of hurricanes in the U.S. in the last few years stressed the necessity to better understand the variability, predictability and risk of tropical cyclones. In this talk, I will discuss the current understanding of various aspects of tropical cyclones, from the ability of the current generation of models to make forecasts on sub-seasonal time-scales, to the estimates of hurricane risk in locations with very few occurrences in the historical record.
