Paper on ice particles in tropical cyclones and how they are represented in forecast models published in Geophysical Research Letters
Summary: In order to accurately forecast the weather, models must accurately represent how liquid water and ice particles in cloud form, grow, and disappear, how big and how many of each there are. To do that, we must know how this all works in real clouds. The NOAA P3 Hurricane Hunter Aircraft have instruments called … Continue reading Paper on ice particles in tropical cyclones and how they are represented in forecast models published in Geophysical Research Letters

Paper on the difference between rapidly intensifying storms and those that don’t intensify as fast published in Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences
Summary: The main model that forecasters use to predict what a hurricane will do is the Hurricane Weather Research and Forecast (HWRF) model. Because we cannot measure what is currently happening in the hurricane exactly, we run the model many times at once with different measurements to get an idea of the different forecasts that … Continue reading Paper on the difference between rapidly intensifying storms and those that don’t intensify as fast published in Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences
