Weather and Climate Systems Seminar A Climatology of TPVs in the ERA-Interim Dataset Dylan Lusk Wednesday, February 20th 3:00pm/NWC 5600   Tropopause Polar Vortices, or TPVs, are long-lived, coherent vortices located primarily on the tropopause over polar regions. These upper level features have been identified as important dynamical predecessors to surface cyclogenesis for some time, […]

The sensitivity of tornadogenesis to (a) the background synoptic environment, (b) the storm-influenced mesoscale environment, and (c) chaotic intra-storm processes remains an active area of research. In a recent set of ensemble simulations using the near-field tornadic and non-tornadic composite soundings from the second Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment (VORTEX2), Coffer […]

Machine learning (ML) has become a widely used tool in meteorological research and often makes better predictions than thecompeting methods. Despite this, many meteorologists are reluctant to adopt ML in day-to-day operations, due to the per- ception thatthe models are “black boxes” (cannot explain their decisions to the user). My recent work in ML interpretation […]
