Weather and Climate Systems Forecasting Subseasonal Extreme Precipitation in the Contiguous United States: Examining the Utility of Random Forests Ty Dickinson Wednesday, April 20 03:00 PM Join Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/dai-kdtr-gtz Extreme precipitation across multiple timescales is a natural hazard that poses a significant risk to life, with a commensurately large cost through property loss. This study […]

Weather and Climate Systems Assessing Precipitation Delineation Capabilities of Spaceborne Radars Maresa Searls Wednesday, April 13 03:00 PM Online Precipitation is a primary source of freshwater, is a component of multiple Earth cycles, and has important impacts from natural hazards. Knowing when, where, and how much precipitation is falling is crucial for understanding Earth’s global […]

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 […]

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 […]
