Thanks for sharing, @dpmanchee.bsky.social!

As a result of climate change, future Atlantic tropical cyclones are likely to develop and move more slowly, and hold more moisture.

Abstract Deadline: November 13 2025

In honor of Dr. Jenni Evans's legacy in tropical meteorology, I warmly welcome your participation in the upcoming session @ametsoc.org's 37th Conf. on Hurricanes & Tropical Meteorology:
"From Tropics to Extratropics: Exploring Cyclone Dynamics in Current & Future Climates in Memory of Jenni Evans"
🧵

Last week, I had the absolute pleasure of visiting the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG) & learning about the amazing work the faculty & students are doing — especially the incredible research coming out of Danielle Touma's group!

You can find my talk on YouTube👉 lnkd.in/gTcV3TmB

Same in my tropical meteorology class!! We do tropical weather briefings at the start of class! 🫶

Some 🔑 findings:
* AEWs over Africa are projected to become more intense & wetter.
* AEW locations remain unchanged, but a case study reveals slower future AEW speeds & delayed TC genesis.
* Slower future AEW propagation may lead to longer-lasting heavy rainfall, raising the risk of flooding.

🚨 New Study Alert!

Our study with @zmoon92.bsky.social & @edougherty.bsky.social offers new insights into how
African Easterly Waves (AEWs), the seeds of Atlantic hurricanes 🌀, are being shaped by a warmer, moister climate.

Loved visiting NC State's @ncstate.bsky.social Department of Marine, Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences—catching up with friends like Allison Michaelis and Anantha Aiyyer, meeting new people, and chatting with grad students. Exciting work happening there, and I look forward to staying connected!

Meet the Tropical Systems Group @tamuatmo.bsky.social: featuring Dr. Kwesi Quagraine, Stephanie Ortiz Rosario, and Dr. @zmoon92.bsky.social ! We study the weather and climate of the tropics — from ⛈️to TCs 🌀— using km-scale models, obs, & a passion for science comms!

👋 Professor expert in TC genesis, AEWs, km-scale modeling, and more since well you know, a long time. 😉

Michael Duda created the meshes I use but if you ever need help with regional configurations, I’m one of the few that can help you with that. :)

How 'tropical waves' carry confounding clues about huge hurricanes The patterns found in the atmosphere often uneventfully dissipate, but occasionally feed giant hurricanes.

For those who can't make it to Penn State this Friday, Jenni's memorial celebration will be broadcast at this URL: psu.zoom.us/j/96242402604.

We will be holding a memorial celebration for Prof. Jenni Evans this coming Friday (4/11) at 5:00 PM in 112 Walker Building @pennstateuniv.bsky.social to honor her life.
If you would like to give a speech, reach out to me @ knunez.ocasio@tamu.edu or Guido Cervone (guc18@psu.edu). @ametsoc.org

Thank you, I will try my best @profcorbosiero.bsky.social!

I will carry forward her strength and legacy as I mentor my own students. Dr. Evans, you will always be a role model to me and to future generations.

ICDS mourns passing of former Director Jenni Evans - PSU Institute for Computational and Data Sciences | High Performance Computing at Penn State UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Dr. Jenni L. Evans, a distinguished meteorologist and esteemed professor in the Penn State College of Earth and Mineral Sciences, passed away on Thursday, April 3, 2025, leaving...

It is with deep sadness that I share the passing of my Ph.D. advisor, Jenni Evans. She was an esteemed scientific leader in tropical meteorology & computational science. She shared great strength & inspiration to follow my dreams.

Sharing some new work I am pretty proud of! Highlights communication issues around the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale when the primary threat is not wind. Let me know if you need the PDF.
