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.
Daniel Phoenix-April 17- Weather and Climate
Tropopause-penetrating convection is capable of rapidly transporting air from the lower troposphere to the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS). Since the vertical redistribution of gases in the atmosphere by convection can have important impacts on the chemistry of the UTLS, the radiative budget, and climate, it has become a recent focus of observational and modeling studies.
Noah Brauer – April 10
Quantifying Precipitation Efficiency and the Drivers of Excessive Precipitation in Post-Landfall Hurricane Harvey Weather and Climate Systems Noah Brauer April 10, 2019 3:00pm/ NWC 5600 Abstract: Hurricane Harvey produced widespread rainfall amounts over 100 cm to portions of Southeast Texas, including Houston from 26-31 August 2017. The highly efficient and prolonged warm rain processes associated […]

Importance of Above and Below Cloud Aerosols in Determining Cloud Properties in Stratocumulus over the South East Atlantic Ocean Siddhant Gupta Wednesday, April 3rd NWC 5600/3:00 pm Biomass-Burning Aerosols (BBA) from the African continent are transported over a large stratocumulus cloud deck off the west coast of Africa by the southern branch of the African […]
Gregory Jennrich-March 6-Weather and Climate Systems Seminar
In the United States and throughout the world, extreme precipitation events are a major cause of loss in life, property, and economic progress. Although the science of hydrometeorology has made significant improvements to the prediction and understanding of these events in recent decades, there is still much to learn about these events in the subseasonal to seasonal (S2S) timescale.
