Master’s Thesis Defense Explainable Frontal Boundary Predictions for Applications in Operational Environments Andrew Justin Wednesday, April 24, 2024 NWC 5720 / 3:00 pm Abstract: Frontal boundaries drive many high-impact weather events around the globe. Identifying fronts through various thermodynamic fields increases predictability of hazardous weather phenomena. Frontal analysis is still primarily done by human forecasters, […]
NWC Colloquium Frederick lat-Hin Tam AI for Knowledge Discovery in Tropical Meteorology: Pattern Extraction, Uncertainty Quantification, and Causality Tuesday, April 23th, 2024 3:00 pm NWC 1313 Recent advancements in machine learning (ML) have led to data-driven weather prediction models that rival or outperform state-of-the-art numerical weather prediction models in short— to medium-range forecasts. In order […]
Boundary Layer, Urban Meteorology, and Land-Surface Processes Elizabeth Spicer The Houston Urban Heat Island Effect: Motivation and Initial Findings from the 2022 TRACER Field Campaign April 22, 2024 3:00 pm NWC 1350 Abstract: Cities and other urban areas commonly exhibit the urban heat island (UHI) effect, where air temperatures within the built-up area are higher […]
Convective Meteorology (Mesoscale Dynamics) Rachael Cross Analysis of Dual-Polarimeteric Radar Signatures in Tornadic and Nontornadic Supercells During the 24-25 May 2011 Outbreak April 19th, 2024 3:30 pm NWC 1350 Abstract: Supercells tend to produce the strongest and longest-lived tornadoes, causing insurmountable destruction of property, loss of life, and impacts to society. To mitigate these impacts, […]
Convective Meteorology (Mesoscale Dynamics) Dominic Candela Using UAS Damage Observations and High Resolution Numerical Simulations to Understand Tornado Evolution over Heterogeneous Land Cover and Terrain Friday, April 19th, 2024 3:00 pm NWC 1350 Abstract: Tornadoes impact a wide variety of land surface types with varying degrees of surface heterogeneity and terrain. Through uncrewed aerial systems […]
Convective Meteorology (Mesoscale Dynamics) Derek Stratman Storm Displacement Errors in the Warn-on-Forecast System April 18th, 2024 3:00 pm NWC 1350 Abstract: The Warn-on-Forecast System (WoFS) is a regional, rapidly-updating, ensemble data assimilation and prediction system designed to provide short-term probabilistic guidance of severe and hazardous weather, including individual thunderstorms. As with most convection-allowing modeling systems, […]
ARRC Student Seminar Clayton Blosser Thursday, April 18th 11:00 a.m. RIL 202 Parametric amplification has become an area of interest for RF engineers in circumventing fundamental limitations like the Bode-Fano limit or the Chu limit. However, the theory of broad banding parametric amplifiers has yet to be directly applied to electrically small antennas. This work […]
