I just submitted a mock proposal for a class assignment using APAR… and I was actually quite excited to pursue that research down the road.

#AMS25 is long over, but I didn’t live tweet from here, so here’s a recap of some of my favorite sessions from last week! 🌤️📡

Coming home to this weather from the frozen tundra of North Dakota is giving me whiplash.

A summary of presentations I'll be giving at the upcoming American Meteorological Society conference, and additional events I will be participating in. These will take place from Saturday, January 11 through Monday, January 13.
Excited for #AMS2025 in less than 1 month!
It will be a busy, front-loaded week with 3 talks, repping North Dakota's graduate program, and the Conference for Early Career Professionals.
I'll be in New Orleans most of the week, and eager to get new connections going in the meantime!
Dr. Jana Houser and her family just experienced a damaging house fire this week. Her home was special to her and every student she opened it too. Help us give back to someone that gives so much to her students and the weather community:

If I never have to think about waves again, I think I’ll be okay.

- MS student at UND in At Sci
- Unfortunately share an office with Kyle.
- Researching tropical cyclone intensity and new ways to understand TCs.
- I routed and forecasted for shipping vessels in a past life.
- Lover of good coffee.
- Big Pittsburgh and Cbus sports fan.
Map spanning the eastern North Pacific and North Atlantic basins showing sea surface temperature (SST) averaged during August-September 1991-2020. Black contour indicates the 26C isotherm (constant line of SST -- temperatures above this value are more likely to support TCs).
Map spanning the eastern North Pacific and North Atlantic basins showing mid-level relative humidity averaged during August-September 1991-2020. More moist air tends to better support the thunderstorms that "power" TCs.
Map spanning the eastern North Pacific and North Atlantic basins showing vertical wind shear averaged during August-September 1991-2020. Lower values of wind shear (lighter colors) tend to better support the development of disturbances that can become TCs. Wind shear values higher than the black contour tend to be too strong.
Map spanning the eastern North Pacific and North Atlantic basins showing potential intensity averaged during August-September 1991-2020. Higher values of potential intensity imply a more thermodynamically favorable environment: air parcels have more energy and can more easily rise to release that energy into the atmosphere, helping the thunderstorms that "power" TCs.
I host a webpage on the six "ingredients" for tropical cyclone (TC) formation. It's powered by Python & by freely-available online resources.
I invite you to use it as a reference when discussing factors like SSTs! Expect more updates over the next few months.

Newcomers to Bluesky:
Welcome!
In the 14 months that I've been here, I've seen lots of growth, development of features, and most importantly, normal people and engagement.
It takes patience to build a network, but give it a try!
