Aaron Johnson- Feb 14
Name: Aaron Johnson Title: What is the optimal configuration of convection-permitting ensemble forecasts? Location: NWC 5600 Date: 2020/02/14 Time: 03:00 PM Series: Convective Meteorology (Mesoscale Dynamics) Abstract: Choosing a configuration of a convection-permitting ensemble forecast system that optimally samples the relevant sources of forecast uncertainty in order to provide skillful probabilistic forecasts is a non-trivial task. Such […]

Bo Huang- Nov 22
Scale-dependent-localization for global FV3GFS hybrid 4DEnVar data assimilation system Bo Huang OU School of Meteorology November 22 2019, 3:30 PM National Weather Center, Room 5600 Successful application of ensemble-based data assimilation (DA) relies on localization to reduce sampling error due to running a small ensemble. In a simple form, the localization function is defined […]
Jeff Milne – Nov 22
Name: Jeff Milne Title: Further exploring the vertical structure of updraft helicity Location: NWC 5600 Date: 2019/11/22 Time: 3:00 PM Series: Convective Meteorology (Mesoscale Dynamics) Abstract: Updraft helicity (UH) is a commonly used diagnostic output from convection-allowing models (CAMs) for forecasting severe convective weather. It is calculated by taking the vertical integral of the product of […]
