Monday will be our first TEA of the semester, featuring cookies, apple cider, and hot tea. Please join us in our usual spot next to the grad lounge for Thoughts, Encouragement, and Announcements at 2:30. If you are unable to join at this time and would like to suggest another time, please let Shelby Hill […]
This is the monthly faculty meeting for January 2017
Most continental regions experience an afternoon or evening maximum of convective activity, which is dominated by convection driven by surface heating. However, the Great Plains of North America experiences a nocturnal maximum in convective precipitation during the warm season, which is associated with the frequent occurrence of elevated mesoscale convective systems (MCSs). These elevated convective […]
Met TEA is an event where all members of the School of Meteorology are invited to come together to share their Thoughts, Encouragements, or Announcements. Each week, we serve cookies and seasonal beverages one afternoon and gather at the southeast seating area of the 5th floor of the National Weather Center.
Join us to congratulating Dr. Susan Postawko and Dr. Mark Morrissey on their retirement to paradise!
Numerous observational studies have shown that the strength and position of the rear-flank downdraft (RFD) in supercell thunderstorms can vary substantially during the mesocyclone life cycle.

Evapotranspiration (ET) is an important variable in the hydrologic cycle. As such, improved understanding of the spatial and temporal variability of ET is critical to weather and climate analysis and prediction, water management resources, agriculture, land-use and land-change projects, and ecological research.
Over the past century, the population of the world has become increasingly urbanized. As a result, cities have become larger and more densely populated than any time in history. This unprecedented growth and rapid modification of the surface has impacted the overlying boundary-layer of the atmosphere.
The prediction of a particular feature called a Tropopause Polar Vortex (TPV) has downstream implications on larger-scale atmospheric evolution and forecast skill. The TPV is a feature found in the Arctic that can persist for many days before ultimately exerting a major impact on weather forecasts over North America.
