Advanced Manufacturing Lab
The Advanced Manufacturing & Design Lab From Prototype to Proof of Concept with State-of-the-Art Technology SCROLL TO LEARN MORE Driving Innovative Science With State-of-The-Art Technology What We Do: The Advanced Manufacturing and Design Lab (AMDL) was created as a resource for our scientists and collaborators to build and explore new technologies that enhance data collection. [...]Jason Dunion’s presentation at the most recent AMS Hurricane Conference highlighted in the December 2018 issue of the AMS Bulletin
At the recent American Meteorological Society Conference on Hurricanes and Tropical Meteorology, Jason presented his work with co-authors Chris Thorncroft, Chris Velden, and Brian McNoldy about the diurnal cycle of convection in hurricanes. This cycle is a dramatic outward expansion of clouds that begins moving away from the storm center each day around sunset and […]

HRD Seminar – Dr. Dave Raymond, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology – 12 December 2018
Prof. Raymond presented a seminar titled “Control of Convection in High-Resolution Simulations of Tropical Cyclogenesis”. ABSTRACT: Three idealized high-resolution simulations of tropical storm formation from a weak vortex are analyzed. The three simulations include a case using warm rain microphysics, a case in which surface friction is omitted, and a case in which ice microphysics […]
