Mr. Richardson presented a seminar on the “The ECMWF Integrated Forecasting System: progress, plans and implications for tropical cyclone forecasts”. Abstract The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) is a world leader in the production of global weather forecasts, with a strong focus on the medium-range (up to two weeks ahead). The presentation will […]

Ms. Ryan presented a seminar on the “OSSE Evaluation of Aircraft Reconnaissance Flight Patterns and their impact on Hurricane Forecasts.” ABSTRACT Each year, NOAA/AOML’s Hurricane Research Division (HRD) conducts its Hurricane Field Program in which observations are collected via NOAA aircraft to improve the understanding and prediction of hurricanes. Mission experiments suggest a variety of […]

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 […]

Summary: Thunderstorms that result in deep hail on the ground can threaten life and property. Previous such storms in the Denver area caused hail to pile up to two feet deep in 30 minutes and closed roads, damaged aircraft, and required swift water rescues due to flooding from rain and melting hail. Because […]
Prof. Ginis presented a seminar on the “Effect of boundary layer roll vortices on the hurricane structure and intensity”. A recording of the presentation is available on the anonymous ftp site: ftp://ftp.aoml.noaa.gov/pub/hrd/blog/seminars/2016/Ginis_HRD_Seminar_20160216.mp4
