Weather and Climate Systems Constraint of Vegetation Photosynthesis and Respiration Model (VPRM) parameters using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique Steven Jester Wednesday, April 6 03:00 PM Online The Vegetation and Respiration Model (VPRM) is a land-surface model that simulates the flux of carbon dioxide (CO2). This is done by using certain meteorological parameters […]

Weather and Climate Systems Relationships between Cloud Condensation Nuclei Concentrations and Lidar Observables for Specific Aerosol types and their Applications in Evaluating Aerosol-Cloud Interactions Emily Lenhardt Wednesday, March 30 3:00 PM Join Google Meet! Aerosols that activate to become cloud droplets, termed cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), provide the direct microphysical link that drive aerosol-cloud interactions […]
Convective Meteorology (Mesoscale Dynamics) Meteorological Benefits of Rapid-Scanning, Dual-Polarization Radar for Hail Producing Storms Laura Shedd Friday, March 25 3:00 PM NWC 5600 Hailstorms continue to be one of the leading economic natural hazards in the United States, amounting to ten billion dollars in damage, on average, annually. Radar technology has continued to prove to […]
Weather and Climate Systems Sensitivity of the February 2021 U.S. Cold-Air Outbreak to Tropopause Polar Vortex Intensity Tomer Burg Wednesday, March 23 3:00 PM Tropopause Polar Vortices (TPVs) are coherent vortices along the tropopause, with cyclonic TPVs identified by a local minimum in temperature and local maximum in potential vorticity along the dynamic tropopause. TPVs […]
Weather and Climate Systems Hurricane Laura (2020): A Comparison of Drop Size Distribution Moments Using Ground and Radar Remote Sensing Retrieval Methods Noah Brauer Wednesday, March 23 3:00 PM NWC Hurricane Laura was the strongest hurricane to make landfall in Louisiana since 1969 with maximum sustained winds of 130 knots. One University of Oklahoma Shared […]
Convective Meteorology (Mesoscale Dynamics) Using Radiosonde Observations to Assess The ‘Three Ingredients’ Method to Forecast QLCS Mesovortices Max Ungar Friday, March 11 03:00 PM Quasi-Linear Convective System (QLCS) mesovortices have a propensity to produce impactful severe weather outcomes, including tornadoes and enhanced straight-line wind damage. Despite advances in understanding the origins of these meso-gamma scale […]
Weather and Climate Systems The Stratospheric Processes Influencing Cold Air Outbreaks in the Great Plains of the United States Oliver T Millin Wednesday, March 9 03:00 PM Join Google Meet! https://meet.google.com/hwd-ruyp-grx Wintertime cold air outbreaks (CAOs) are extreme cold events involving the displacement of cold air into the midlatitudes from a polar origin.
