SENSITIVITY OF ENSEMBLE FORECASTS OF SUPERCELLS TO INITIAL CONDITION UNCERTAINTY   The sensitivity of full-physics ensemble forecasts of supercells to initial condition (IC) uncertainty is investigated. The motivation for the study largely stems from the NOAA Warn-on-Forecast (WoF) program, where the primary objective is to develop a storm-scale ensemble prediction system that will generate probabilistic […]

On TPV thinking; Impacts on Arctic sea ice Arctic sea ice exhibits considerable year to year variability, likely amplifying over the next decades as the ice thins. Problematically, larger year to year sea ice anomalies exhibit larger forecast errors. What processes drive the evolution and prediction of summer sea ice? Cyclonic tropopause polar vortices (TPVs) […]

The Rossby Wave Roadmap and Implications on Medium-Range Predictability Despite decades of improvements in the performance of NWP, there are still times when forecast models experience errors that are drastically greater than the mean. These periods of poor performance are referred to as dropouts, or busts, and are characterized by a verifying atmosphere that is […]

Forecaster Cognitive Workload With increasing amounts of data becoming available to forecasters, the question of how rapidly-updating phased array radar data will affect forecasters’ cognitive workload is of interest. In this seminar, an overview of cognitive workload will be given, including examples of the types of methods and tools that can be used to measure […]

Microphysical Treatment of Hail in High-Resolution Supercell Simulations   Hail causes over $1.0 billion in damage annually in the United States, despite this explicit hail prediction remains a relatively understudied subject.  This study compares high-resolution (500 m horizontal grid spacing) hail simulations for a severe hail event that impacted central Oklahoma on 19 May 2013.  […]
