High-temporal Resolution Observations of the 27 May 2015 Canadian, Texas, Tornado using the Atmospheric Imaging Radar and Kinematic and Polarimetric Observations of Tornadic Debris in the 10 May 2010 Norman, Oklahoma, Supercell The first portion of this two-part seminar overviews data collected of an EF-2 near Canadian, Texas on 27 May 2015 by the Atmospheric […]
African Easterly Wave Tracks as Simulated by CMIP5 Models African Easterly Waves (AEWs) impact Sahel rainfall and serve as a trigger disturbance for tropical cyclones (TCs) in the North Atlantic Ocean. Currently, there is no agreement regarding the projected TC trends for the future. So far, there has been very little investigation into the changes […]
It’s back!!! The University of Oklahoma College of Atmospheric and Geographic Sciences Career & Internship Fair returns in Spring 2017! This fair will be attended by public and private employers looking for students in the fields of Meteorology, Geography, Environmental Sustainability, and Geographic Information Science. The event will be held in the atrium of the […]
Rick Dubler from Career Services will be attending Met TEA to offer resume critiques and provide career fair tips.
SENSITIVITY OF ENSEMBLE FORECASTS OF SUPERCELLS TO INITIAL CONDITION UNCERTAINTY The sensitivity of full-physics ensemble forecasts of supercells to initial condition (IC) uncertainty is investigated. The motivation for the study largely stems from the NOAA Warn-on-Forecast (WoF) program, where the primary objective is to develop a storm-scale ensemble prediction system that will generate probabilistic […]
On TPV thinking; Impacts on Arctic sea ice Arctic sea ice exhibits considerable year to year variability, likely amplifying over the next decades as the ice thins. Problematically, larger year to year sea ice anomalies exhibit larger forecast errors. What processes drive the evolution and prediction of summer sea ice? Cyclonic tropopause polar vortices (TPVs) […]

The Rossby Wave Roadmap and Implications on Medium-Range Predictability Despite decades of improvements in the performance of NWP, there are still times when forecast models experience errors that are drastically greater than the mean. These periods of poor performance are referred to as dropouts, or busts, and are characterized by a verifying atmosphere that is […]
Forecaster Cognitive Workload With increasing amounts of data becoming available to forecasters, the question of how rapidly-updating phased array radar data will affect forecasters’ cognitive workload is of interest. In this seminar, an overview of cognitive workload will be given, including examples of the types of methods and tools that can be used to measure […]
