Ethan Steward @ebsteward.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I’m discovering a new pet peeve of mine. In both of my classes this semester, people ask questions at a normal speaking volume in large and/or noisy rooms. Please don’t make the professor have to walk across the room to you every time. SPEAK UP. 000
Ethan Steward @ebsteward.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I hate that log() is often natural logarithm in disguise and not common logarithm. We have notation for ln()! And it’s shorter than log()! Grrr. Yes, this did trip me up in MATLAB earlier this morning. 030
Ethan Steward @ebsteward.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Hello, old friend. I wasn’t expecting to take another math class after undergrad! Super excited about this one—I wasn’t able to squeeze it in during my B.S. 100
Ethan Steward @ebsteward.bsky.social · 29/07/2026For the folks attending #AMSMadisonSummit, I will be presenting my master’s research on tornado structure using mobile Doppler TTUKa radar data (manuscript in preparation) on Wednesday at 11:45 AM CT! 010
Ethan Steward @ebsteward.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Accidentally searching for “netcdf” instead of “netflix” feels like a work-life balance violation 040
Ethan Steward @ebsteward.bsky.social · 19/04/2026The NWC REU is one of the biggest reasons I went to graduate school. It was an incredible introduction to atmospheric science research and taught us about the *many* different career avenues in the field. I really hope the program can continue in 2027 and beyond. Super sad to hear this news for ‘26 050
Ethan Steward @ebsteward.bsky.social · 10/02/2026We learned about analog to digital converters yesterday in instrumentation and all I could think of were bit puns. It was a bit distracting. I’ll get over it bit by bit, though 110
Ethan Steward @ebsteward.bsky.social · 29/01/2026Had a great time at #AMS2026. Thank you to everyone who attended my talk regarding tornado structure in TTUKa data from the LIFT experiment! 040
Ethan Steward @ebsteward.bsky.social · 18/08/2025Tried to remove the battery for my 2015 ford escape and BOY was I in for a nasty surprise this evening. Setting aside a few hours tomorrow evening for this…project. Sigh. 020
Ethan Steward @ebsteward.bsky.social · 14/07/2025At the eye doctor right now and my vision must be horrible. I don’t remember 9 o’clock being an irrational time 130

Ethan Steward @ebsteward.bsky.social · 09/05/2025On April 25th, 2025, the TTU-Ka LIFT teams successfully intercepted a tornado near Muleshoe, TX. First up are PPI scans of the main tornado and the "dancing" vortices/subsequent smaller tornadoes captured by Ka2. 1/2. #LIFT #tornado 3185

Ethan Steward @ebsteward.bsky.social · 24/03/2025The saga continues. First day back from sb, the power/water goes out at 10 am and tech tells us to work remotely for the rest of the day 010
Ethan Steward @ebsteward.bsky.social · 16/03/2025Some pictures from our Palo Duro hike! Great way to start off SB, it was beautiful out there 140
Ethan Steward @ebsteward.bsky.social · 13/03/2025We went from studying all day + night for tomorrow’s fluid dynamics exam to…abrupt spring break! 020
Ethan Steward @ebsteward.bsky.social · 04/03/2025Yeah the PGF chose violence today in west Texas. RIP to the umbrella users this morning 100
Ethan Steward @ebsteward.bsky.social · 28/02/2025Hearing the stories of those let go is so heartbreaking. I can’t imagine putting all that time and effort into getting your dream job, only to have it taken away for no good reason. I hope the govt realizes their error here; NOAA provides incredible public service to us 24/7/365 for only a few $/yr 010
Ethan Steward @ebsteward.bsky.social · 27/02/2025Just downright stupid and infuriating. Everyone in NOAA, especially those just laid off, deserves so much better. The damage done to science today (and beyond) will persist for years to come 010

These are good, hardworking, dedicated public servants working to better our country and its people whose lives, careers, and livelihoods are being destroyed w/o cause. Absolutely heartbroken. This is wrong. 111450
