Thanks for digging into this, Brian! I previously only focused on the peak intensification rate but even the difference in the period from cat-1 to cat-5 is less than 3 hr. This is a surprise but great to know!

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 :)

Glad to see your TC talk again! Not sure if I see this correctly. Is the track reflection related to the transport of PV, generated by island convection, to the northern TC circulation?

Is this the one you were waiting for? Congratulations! What a holiday gift!

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...

πŸŒ€Our TCBL labπŸŒ€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!
