In 2003, the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) began post-processing the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Short-Range Ensemble Forecast (SREF) system to provide operational guidance on the prediction of lightning hazards across the contiguous United States.

A number of novel techniques to examine polarimetric radar data collected via PPI scans in a time-height format have been developed in recent years. Using primarily polarimetric radar data collected by WSR-88D radars, techniques such as quasi-vertical profiles (QVPs), range-defined quasi-vertical profiles (RD-QVPs), and column vertical profiles (CVPs) have been used to investigate the vertical structure of precipitating systems such as winter storms, mesoscale convective systems, and landfalling hurricanes.

Using observations and models to understand the warming Arctic

Nick Szapiro-March 12-School of Meteorology (Defense)

Towards furthering understanding and extending predictions of the polar environment, this thesis explores the variability in Arctic summer sea ice driven by coherent upper-level potential vorticity anomalies common in the Arctic termed tropopause polar vortices (TPVs).
