A new episode of Tiempo, Clima, y Tierra, a Spanish language podcast by AOS Professors Ángel Adames Corraliza and Mayra Oyola-Merced, dives into climate and turbulence in aviation. Have a listen! @afadames @theweatherprof buzzsprout.com/1164746/152406…

I’m so proud of my NSF SOARS student, Chelone! This week she presented her 10-week summer research project on the representation of the ITCZ and low clouds in NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research Community Atmosphere Model 6. Thanks to everyone on our mentoring team and the NSF SOARS program!

I had such a great time at NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research this week! I got the chance to rent a bike and enjoy Boulder while being productive with Fouzia Fahrin. Thanks to all my friends and colleagues that I spent time with!

August 20th marks the start of the active portion of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. Today I had the privilege of ringing Dr. Bill Gray’s bell in his honor and to ward the hurricanes away from land. This was the traditional #BellDay moment during the HRD Briefing! 🌀 🔔

Today in ⁦Science Magazine⁩ - How might climate change harm human health? U.S. studies face funding challenges - ⁦with ⁦⁦Dr. Jane W. Baldwin⁩, me & others ⁦CIRES⁩ ⁦US CLIVAR⁩ science.org/content/articl…

🚨 Retweet appreciated! 🚨 My lab Northeastern U. is seeking 1-2 fully funded #PhD students in Climate Modeling and Dynamics beginning Fall 2025. Let’s explore global climate change and variability together! DDL: Dec 1, 2024. For more details, visit yefee.github.io/PhD/.

New paper out! Proposing idealized #WalkerCirculation experiments as the second phase of #RCE MIP to better understand tropical clouds, aggregation, and climate feedback processes: gmd.copernicus.org/articles/17/61…

I’m excited to share that I am the new Director of the Hurricane Research Division HRD/AOML/NOAA in NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory HRD/AOML/NOAA. I’m thrilled to lead an amazing team into the next-generation of hurricane forecasting! 😀🎉

9:30 pm El huracán #Helene tiene vientos sostenidos máximos de 140 mph (cat. 4) y presión de 941 mb. Hay Aviso de Vientos Extremos para Lafayette County, Wakulla County, Northwestern Dixie County, Taylor County, Jefferson County, Eastern Leon County y Madison County en Big Bend

Helene’s eyewall showing polygonal asymmetries suggesting continued strengthening through landfall. Something that showed up in previous storms like Michael and Laura. #Helene

Excited to share my latest research in nature on the role of western boundary currents in shaping climate variability 🌍📷 We find that SST variability in these ocean currents has a more robust influence on local climate than previously understood. Link: rdcu.be/dVUUz

#Kirk is the 3rd Category 4-5 Atlantic #hurricane so far this year (#Beryl, #Helene). Six other years in satellite era (1966-onwards) have had 3+ Category 4-5 Atlantic hurricanes by 3 October: 1999, 2004, 2005, 2010, 2017, 2023.

Flight Director Sofia de Solo provides pre-flight brief for NOAA Gulfstream IV-SP #NOAA49 "Gonzo" mission to #Milton on Oct. 6, 2024. Mission goals include sampling the upper atmosphere to reduce uncertainty in the track forecast. Follow National Hurricane Center for latest forecast and

Prolific lightning flashes within Hurricane Milton's eye wall. An incredible full day view of the Category 5 storm.

Lots of gravity waves---the ripples propagating radially outward---helping to disperse energy away from the storm.

Inside Hurricane Milton, Saildrone reported wave height of 28.12 feet and wind gusts as strong as 75.95 mph while 40 nautical miles from the center of the storm. This research represents a collaborative endeavor to better understand the role of the ocean in hurricanes.

New paper out in final form in the American Meteorological Society Journal of Climate! "Tropical Cyclone Wind Shear-Relative Asymmetry in Reanalyses", with Anthony Didlake and Colin Zarzycki at PSU Meteorology and Atmospheric Science Check it out here! journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/…

Dropping this a day earlier than planned because I'm excited... I'M LOOKING FOR A GRAD STUDENT! Consider joining my new and growing group of sickos doing tropical weather/climate research in the Northern Plains. Spread the word, and if you'll be at #AMS2025, let's talk!
