A failed LES CM1 simulation can become creepy art with the correct choice of a colormap.

A good elevated supercell and roll cloud this morning over Norman.

Going to tell my kids this is Minas Morgul.

Scene from LOTR return of the king with Minas Morgul shooting a green beam in the sky with mt. doom erupting in the background.

Phillipines volcano erupting with a green meteor leaving a green fire trail behind it right next to the volcano.

Just trying to simulate a tornado but the ring of turbulence I added turned out to be the one ring of power, and I have captured the direct attention of Sauron himself.

Peach cobbler bochet starting to brew!

Pot and crockpot filled with carmelized honey. On a paper plate there is a color wheel of the caramelized honey, ended significantly darker and with a toasted marshmallow smell and flavor.

All 6 gallons of must in the brew bucket with 39 Colorado peaches with skin and a few pits for added tannins and complexity.

This piddly downburst obliterated my pepper plant I've been nursing all summer long, and have been anxiously waiting to try. Some of the peppers probably only had 3 days left to ripen. 🤬

Well that was fun, got great data from Raxpol on two tornadoes near Arnett, OK

Timeline is flooded already, but I'll throw some of my pictures of tornadoes from the monster Matador supercell this evening. Even more importantly Raxpol captured some great tornado data!

One of the largest clear slots I've seen probably

Ahhh good call. Had to go back and find that MPX one. WOW.

High CAPE high shear sounding from MPX with a supercell composite of 89.0 and sigtor parameter of 15.9

Just your average nocturnal January tornado in California with possible snow in the forward flank

Definitely an SVC multiple times that day from both radars, it was a fun day. Most of those RHIs you looked at were through the RFGF. At the very end of the dataset, Ka1 captured a tornado at the very edge of the range.

I will be defending my doctoral dissertation this Friday, November 22 at 8 am CST over the environmental factors that can lead to and modulate the streamwise vorticity current (SVC) in a supercell, and how that may impact tornadogenesis. If interested in attending, DM me and I will send a zoom link!

It is November 16th and I'm still getting peppers like crazy in Lubbock

As I wrap up my dissertation I couldn't help but share this cool plot. Vertical acceleration under the tilting SVC go brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Alex Schueth @streamwise.bsky.social · 20/10/2024

And finally, wrapping up the conference Friday morning, if our HPC system comes back online in time, I will be presenting about the direct downstream impacts of the SVC related to low-level mesocyclone strength and TLV-genesis.

On Tuesday my advisor and I have another poster showcasing some of the amazing high-resolution mobile radar data of tornadoes we captured this year during the LIFT field campaign.

Alex Schueth @streamwise.bsky.social · 20/10/2024

For those #31SLS -ers, come stop by my poster on Monday to chat about how different shear profiles influences different supercell properties including internal boundary orientations, SVC magnitude and orientation, and TLVs!

Figured I should reintroduce myself with all the new followers! I'm Alex! - Finishing my PhD at TTU focused on supercell dynamics and tornadogenesis through the lens of the SVC. -Starting a postdoc at OU in January simulating high-res tornadoes with the inclusion of destruction and debris physics

First post on blue sky might as well be pictures of autumn breaking in Denali NP a months go in celebration of the fall equinox.

A view from a bush plane at cloud level next to a fresh snow peaked mountain with light draped on the mountain side illuminating yellow tundra in contrast to the black stone of the mountain.

Similar view from a bush plane over Denali NP with snow peaked mountains overlooking a sunbathed valley illuminating rich green and yellows with a meandering silty river in the center.
