HRD Monthly Science Meeting of May 2020

May’s science meeting consisted of six presentations:

1. Michael Fischer: An examination of local shear, vortex tilt, and tropical cyclone intensity change using airborne radar observations
2. Erica Bower: Towards an Automated Approach to Analyzing Extreme Precipitation and Tropical Cyclones
3. Hua Leighton: Ice Particle Size Distributions from Composites of Microphysics Observations Collected in Tropical Cyclones
4. Laura Ko: The Effects of Feature Space Reduction on Machine Learning Prediction for Hurricane Intensity Changes
5. Sim Aberson: Hurricanes Barry and Dorian: A preliminary look at shear, vortex tilt, the warm core and intensification as seen from HEDAS analyses
6. Frank Marks: Landfalling Tropical Cyclone Rainfall Distributions

The six presentations are available on the anonymous ftp site at: ftp://ftp.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/pub/blog/meetings/2020/Science/HRD_SciMeet_20200514.zip
