Neal Dorst and Dr. Robert Rogers gave presentations at a special Hurricane History session on “60 year history of the Hurricane Research Division Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory” and “NOAA’s Hurricane Research Division: Advancing Tropical Cyclone Research and Prediction Using Aircraft Observations”, respectively at the 2016 National Hurricane Conference held at the Orlando Hilton. Their […]
Dr. Sippel presented a seminar on “The Challenges in Developing the Operational HWRF DA System: What I’ve learned after 1.5 years at EMC”. Abstract Though the HWRF model has seen tremendous advances over the past decade, largely due to HFIP, the HWRF data assimilation system still lacks what is needed to properly analyze tropical cyclone […]
Dr. Beechler presented a seminar on “Object-Based Data Assimilation: Strategies & Technologies”. Abstract A phenomenological treatment of coherent patterns in data can lead to improved assimilation techniques. Simple methods to identify and manipulate coherent structures in both models and observations are outlined and discussed, along with strategies to improve upon these techniques. Part one outlines […]

Dr. Zupanski presented a seminar on “Theoretically advanced, yet computationally efficient data assimilation and forecasting methods”. Abstract We have witnessed several fundamental advancements in data assimilation and forecasting methods in the last decade. Hybrid ensemble-variational data assimilation methods have been developed, utilizing the best properties of the most advanced data assimilation methods: ensemble Kalman filter […]
HRD and AOML scientists participated in the 70th Interdepartmental Hurricane Conference/Tropical Cyclone Operations and Research Forum. HRD scientists presented or were coauthors on 6 of the 39 presentations. Shirley Murillo and Frank Marks chaired two session and Sundararaman Gopalakrishnan chaired a panel discussion on “What are the most promising short-term and long-term steps we can […]
The purpose of the observation team meetings is to bring together the people who use observations in their research on a regular basis to discuss issues they’re having, provide updates on observations they’re analyzing or collecting, and any other information that may be of interest to the broader group. These meetings are also an excellent […]
Dr. Heming presented a seminar on the “Tropical Cyclone Predictions from the Met Office Global Model: a Brief History and Recent Developments”. Abstract This presentation will give an overview of tropical cyclone prediction from the Met Office Global Model. It will cover the history of tropical cyclone initialization in the model including the major impact […]
Several HRDers and collaborators participated in Aviation Water Safety Training in order to fly on NOAA aircraft. This hands-on training is required every 5 years in order to participate in NOAA aircraft missions such as those during the Hurricane Field Program. The two-day classroom and pool course, taught by Federal Aviation Administration safety-certified trainers, covered […]
