Jun presented a seminar on “A Developmental Framework for Improving Hurricane Model Physical Parameterizations using Aircraft Observations” Abstract As part of NOAA’s Hurricane Forecast Improvement Program (HFIP), this paper addresses the important role of aircraft observations in hurricane model physics validation and improvement. A model developmental framework for improving the physical parameterizations using quality-controlled and post-processed […]
Dr. Bell presented a seminar on “Dynamically simulated tropical cyclones in the high-resolution coupled climate model HiGEM: Their natural variability and response to climate change” Abstract: Due to recent advances in available computing resources, climate models can now be run with a high enough resolution to simulate different aspects of tropical cyclone activity. The El […]
