Last December, weather and climate scientists sat down with us to tell us why they loved the National Center for Atmospheric Research, and why it benefits us all. Last night, the NSF began dismantling it. Listen to what they have to say, and why it's urgent that we #SaveNCAR wclivestream.com/act

Category 5 Hurricane Melissa made landfall today near Black River, Jamaica with 185 mph winds and is currently re-emerging near Falmouth. If you have the means, I strongly encourage you to consider donating to a relief effort. Direct Relief: donate.directrelief.org/give/647931#... (more below)

The western end of Jamaica where #Melissa is projected to make landfall has the least well-built structures of anyplace on the island. Graphic is from a 2021 paper, "Poverty and hurricane risk exposure in Jamaica": www.researchgate.net/publication/...

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). bmcnoldy.earth.miami.edu/tropics/radar/

We’ve been waiting for this LES landfall paper for a while. Glad to work with @agitatedcu.bsky.social on this exciting publication, as it sets up the stage for our upcoming NSF WHIRLTC project.

Exciting to have @mikefischerwx.bsky.social to share his hurricane research at the UAH AES seminar and BLM class. Students showed high interests in the TC-RADAR dataset and future AI applications of aircraft observations. An extended Q&A session is the testament. Way to go, Professor :)

"Are rapidly intensifying tropical cyclones associated with unique vortex and convective characteristics?" Well, you can find out more here: doi.org/10.1175/MWR-... I'll summarize in the thread below.

Are rapidly intensifying tropical cyclones associated with unique vortex and convective characteristics?
Abstract The largest tropical cyclone (TC) intensity forecast errors are typically associated with episodes of rapid intensification (RI). Here, we explore whether TCs that undergo RI are associated w...

🌀Our TCBL lab🌀is admitting a M.S. (or Ph.D.) student to study boundary layer winds and tornadoes of landfalling hurricanes from Fall 2025. Students with a strong passion for hurricane science and a strong background of programming/physics are particularly encouraged to apply. Welcome to spread out!
