Physical scientist at the NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory. I use math and computers to study the atmospheric boundary layer, storms, and stuff.
As a Cowboys fan, this sucks. As a fellow J. Gibbs, this is awesome.

The kids all decided that it should be a federal offense for snow to have fallen — no matter how small the amount — and school to still be in session.

Newish home fun: My kids complained that the upstairs rooms were cold. I upgraded to smart thermostats with sensors in hopes the basic ones were having issues w/2 floors. Next day: cold again and the smart thermostat warned about an issue with the furnace. There was — its gas valve was turned off 😂☠️

Dr. Ivana Stiperski at the Univ. of Innsbruck has an opening for a PhD student on a project focusing on aircraft obs of mountain boundary layers (over the European Alps). From the site, Univ. of Innsbruck strives to increase the percentage of women and thus expressly encourages women to apply 🧪 🌊

Underrated part of faculty life, even though it takes non-negligible time: writing recommendation letters.
It just feels good to write nice things about people.

Happy LGBTQ+ in STEM Day! I’m celebrating with the dapper Invisible Enby, who is a queer fashion metaphor for the way dark matter shapes visible matter in the cosmos. Want to learn more? Preorder my new book, where they appear! 🧪

this moment in time (today especially) is such a surreal experience that i think i’m going to log off for a bit and try to focus on finding some small amount of joy each day.

Most simply, a storm is an area of rotating winds: a disk of vorticity. Strong hurricanes can develop more of a ring-like shape in vorticity, which can be unstable & develop mesovortices.
This is a basic process & can be simulated in a barotropic or shallow water model (here, with @visualpde.com).

Thanks to some vigilant friends out there, I have a nearly-complete 87-hour radar loop of #Melissa 's approach to #Jamaica. The loop abruptly ends when the radar is lost (either loss of communication with it or loss of the actual structure).

Had a great time video chatting with kindergarteners about hurricanes and the weather. They had some great questions and Hurricane Melissa is giving them a real-time demonstration of the power of a hurricane.

Keep the people of Jamaica in your thoughts today. The 9am update from NHC has the pressure down to 896mb and peak winds at 180 mph, cementing Melissa as the 5th most intense hurricane on record in the Atlantic Basin.
