Research Seminar Advancing large-domain process-based hydrologic modeling and prediction Hongli Liu Monday, May 6th NWC 1313 / 3:00 PM Abstract: Water cycle is the vehicle that delivers meteorological impacts to the land. Hydrologic observations and models underpin the understanding and management of water resources. My research works to advance large-domain process-based hydrologic simulation and prediction. […]
Teaching Demonstration Unit Hydrograph Hongli Liu Monday, May 6th NWC 1120 /9:30 AM Abstract: A unit hydrograph is a graphical representation of the relationship between rainfall and resulting runoff from a specific watershed. In this class, you will discover how unit hydrographs help us predict flooding, design drainage systems, and manage water resources better. Through […]

The […]
Weather and Climate Systems Katie Giannakopoulos Characterizing Wintertime Temperature Whiplash in the US Southern Plains May 1st, 2024 3:00 pm / NWC 1350 Abstract: Rapid extreme temperature swings, termed “temperature whiplashes”, can cause significant socioeconomic impacts on energy, agriculture, and transportation. Few studies have considered temperature whiplashes, however most consider global, continental, or other large […]
Weather and Climate Systems A Comparison of MISR and MAIAC Surface Climatology and Conversion of Their Model Parameters Taozhong Huang Wednesday, May 1st NWC 1350 / 3:00 PM Abstract:NASA’s MAIA (Multi-Angle Imager for Aerosols) investigation will seek to understand how different types of aerosols affect human health. In order to better constrain aerosol properties in […]
