We have our student and very early career presentation awards announced yesterday at the end of #AMS21Meso! These awards are very competitive this year, and kudos to all the students and early career presenters -- you all are amazing!!! (1/2)

A big thanks to the AMS Board on Student Affairs for organizing a networking pod for students this afternoon! Many great conversations were had and new connections made. #AMS52BC #AMS21Meso

We had a great turnout for the joint session w/ #AMS52BC on the communication of mesoscale hazards. It’s wonderful to see the growing synergy between researchers and communicators!

@melindaberman.bsky.social, just one of the many great student presenters at #AMS21Meso, shared her work this morning on the environmental controls for overshooting top characteristics. We love to see all the amazing work from students this week!

Thanks to everyone that attended the Queer Gathering event this afternoon, and thanks especially to the Coriolis Committee for organizing. It’s wonderful to see this event continue to grow a bit more every year! 🌈

Kristen Rasmussen is kicking off our session on NASA’s INCUS mission with a great overview of convective mass flux and the mission’s goals!

🏳️‍🌈 For those with us in Boise for #AMS21Meso and #AMS52BC
that are members of the LGBTQ+ community or allies, make sure to stop by AMS BRAID's Queer Gatherings (QG) event this afternoon! We hope to see you in room 110C during the 3:15 coffee break.

Day 1 of #AMS21Meso is in the books! Lots of awesome science shared and discussed, with beautiful Boise weather to boot. Plus, it's always a good day when you get to brainstorm QLCS tornado science with @jimcantore.bsky.social 🌪️proud of the @ams-meso.bsky.social team - onwards to Tuesday!

Last but not least for our day 1 speakers is Jason Cordeira covering precipitation forecast skill. We look forward to doing it all over again tomorrow at 8:30! #AMS21Meso

We’re kicking off the first afternoon session with Peter Marinescu’s work to predict sub-grid variability in reanalysis data for convective environments

Happening now: Aaron Johnson is giving an invited talk about dryline convective initiation after winning our Early Career Award. Congratulations Dr. Johnson! #AMS21Meso

Up now is one of our fearless conference organizers Dr. Matt Brown (@rhapsodyinbrown.bsky.social) talking about predicting rotation in squall lines. #AMS21Meso

Blurry Conference Talk Photo™️ because it's important to max out our chances to get science out there.

The @ametsoc.org Mesoscale and Broadcast/Digital Meteorology Conferences are underway! I'll do my best to collect and share some cool advances and discussion points throughout the week.

We’re starting the week off strong at #AMS21Meso with our session on squall lines and a talk about derechoes from Dr. Andy Wade!

See you very soon in Boise for #AMS52BC and #AMS21Meso from my landling flight!

🚨 Today is the last chance to get early registration rates for #AMS21Meso!

Still unsure if you want to go? Check out the program here and see which sessions are a good fit for you: bit.ly/42ZBbcX

We hope to see you in Boise next month!

Excited to share that I have been tagged as Vice-Chair for @ams-meso.bsky.social ! Thanks to @eniels13.bsky.social and @yunjizhangpsu.bsky.social for their support & confidence in me - I'm looking forward to working with our new chair Yunji to help shape the future for our mesoscale community!

🗓️ Believe it or not, the early registration deadline for #AMS21Meso is fast approaching. There is just *1 month* left to lock in cheaper rates!

Follow this link for more info about the conference, and don't forget to register by May 7: bit.ly/43ynQKP

We’re excited to have you! See you in June!

Thanks to everyone who submitted abstracts to #AMSMESO21! I've taken a peek, and can already tell that we're in for an exciting week of science from a broad spectrum of scientists - including many students & early career folks! Looking forward to diving into them with @ams-meso.bsky.social 🙌

🚨 If you were scrambling to finish your abstract for #AMS21Meso, today’s your lucky day! We have extended the deadline 1 more week to Feb. 6.

We have sessions on a wide variety of subjects and would love to see what you’re working on in all of them!

Our fearless #AMS21Meso co-chair wants to see you in Boise this summer, and so do we! Don’t forget the abstract deadline is *next Thursday*

As #AMS2025 has come to a close, we want to thank everyone that attended the 4th Symposium on Mesoscale Processes for making it a success!

Now we turn our sights to #AMS21Meso. We look forward to seeing all of your abstract submissions and can’t wait to see you in June!

About to close out a great day at #AMS2025 with some boundary layer talks!

Our second session of the day at #AMS2025 is “Moist Convection: Initiation, Organization, Environments I.”

Ivan Hernandez from NPS is kicking us off with a talk on multiple-Doppler retrievals of boundary layer convergence linked to convective initiation.

About to get started with the first session of the Mesoscale Symposium at #AMS2025… Stop by room 203 this morning to catch up on the newest MCS research!
