Through uncrewed aerial systems […]
Convective Meteorology (Mesoscale Dynamics) Derek Stratman Storm Displacement Errors in the Warn-on-Forecast System April 18th, 2024 3:00 pm NWC 1350 Abstract: The Warn-on-Forecast System (WoFS) is a regional, rapidly-updating, ensemble data assimilation and prediction system designed to provide short-term probabilistic guidance of severe and hazardous weather, including individual thunderstorms. As with most convection-allowing modeling systems, […]
ARRC Student Seminar Clayton Blosser Thursday, April 18th 11:00 a.m. RIL 202 Parametric amplification has become an area of interest for RF engineers in circumventing fundamental limitations like the Bode-Fano limit or the Chu limit. However, the theory of broad banding parametric amplifiers has yet to be directly applied to electrically small antennas. This work […]
