HRD Seminar – Saiprasanth Balachandran, Purdue University – 5 September 2018
Mr. Balachandran presented a seminar titled “Spatial, temporal, and spectral characteristics of convective asymmetries driving rapid intensity changes in tropical cyclones”. ABSTRACT: Understanding the role of convective asymmetries in influencing a change in tropical cyclone (TC) intensity is a challenging task. The inherent difficulty is because asymmetries can arise from different sources, occur at different … Continue reading HRD Seminar – Saiprasanth Balachandran, Purdue University – 5 September 2018
HRD Seminar – Kyle Ahern, Florida State University – 4 September 2018
Mr. Ahern presented a seminar titled “Observed and Simulated Boundary Layer Structures in the Hurricane Inner-core During Intensity Change”. ABSTRACT: GPS dropwindsonde data from Atlantic basin aircraft reconnaissance missions (Hock and Franklin 1999) between 1998 and 2015 are gathered to construct composites of the hurricane inner-core boundary layer during modes of intensity change. Sounding information … Continue reading HRD Seminar – Kyle Ahern, Florida State University – 4 September 2018

HRD Seminar – Prof. Mark Bourassa, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL – 25 June 2018
Prof. Bourassa presented a seminar titled “Ocean Applications of Satellite Measurements of Winds and Currents Through Ka-Band Scatterometry”. ABSTRACT: Ka-band scatterometry is of great use for a wide range of applications, and can be used to measure ocean surface winds and surface currents at relatively high resolution compared to traditional scatterometry. The sensitivity to wind direction … Continue reading HRD Seminar – Prof. Mark Bourassa, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL – 25 June 2018
