AOML Laboratory Review
Research Reviews Laboratories within NOAA's office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research are reviewed every five years to evaluate the quality, relevance, and performance of research conducted at the lab. They evaluate the management and impact of the lab in the framework of its strategic plan and other priorities and guidance from Congress, NOAA and OAR. [...]
HRD Seminar – Jeff Steward, UCLA / National Central University in Taiwan – 25 June 2019
Jeff presented a seminar titled “Solving the Ensemble Square-Root Kalman Filter equations using matrix functions without an actual matrix – the “perfect” large-scale, scalable parallel method to assimilate all-sky satellite radiances in an ensemble” ABSTRACT: All-sky (clear or cloudy) satellite radiances are difficult to assimilate, but have a huge potential to improve NWP forecasts such […]

HRD Seminar – Addison Alford, University of Oklahoma – 17 June 2019
Addison presented a seminar titled “Radar Observations of Landfalling Hurricanes: Synthesizing Three Years of SMART Radar Missions” ABSTRACT: The Shared Mobile Atmospheric Research and Teaching radars observed five landfalling tropical cyclones (TCs) from 2016-2018. The observations were largely targeted toward understanding asymmetric convective and dynamic processes. Such processes are thought to lead to the intensification […]
