June’s science meeting consisted of six presentations:
- Nick Mesa (HRD): “Investigating intensity changes related to thermodynamic processes using near-coincident aircraft and satellite observations”
- Sophie Grimsley (HRD): “Hurricane Intensity Change and Boundary Layer Processes”
- Chris Landsea (NHC): “Was 2020 a Record-Breaking Hurricane Season? Yes, but… (Why did the new average number of Named Storms go up so much?)”
- Sarah Ditchek (HRD): “A Systematic Assessment of Dropsonde Impact during the 2017-2019 Hurricane Seasons using the Basin-Scale HWRF: Overall Impacts”
- Stan Goldenberg (HRD): “NOAA’s May Seasonal Outlook for the 2021 Atlantic Hurricane Season: Methodology & Forecast”
- Andy Hazelton (HRD): “2021 HAFS-globalnest (HAFSV0.2B) Real-Time Forecast Plans” (11:15-11:30)
