Tried to beat the heat by running just before sunrise, presumably the coolest time of the day. 82F temp with a 79F dewpoint at 0553. Stifling.

Our next balloon launch was eventful. It was released approximately 8 minutes after the tornado warning for El Reno was issued and approximately 10 miles SE of the storm’s RFD. We intended to sample the surrounding storm environment, but the sonde was ingested into the meso.

On May 13, 2013 around 19Z, we launched our first sounding, when it looked like the cap was just about to break. In a rush to get info out, we sent photos of the profile to SPC before the balloon even reached 650mb. Lots of products seemingly went up right after.

We crossed the tornado path later that evening. At the time, we had no idea of the impact. Only after conversing with other drivers stuck in traffic while the road between El Reno and Union City was cleared of debris did we begin to understand the severity of the tornado.

Tropical cyclone #Seroja was one of the first to significantly impact Indonesian land. How did it develop? Our new study identified meteorological conditions resulting in a rare cyclone formation near the equator👉@NatureComms

ALT When the low intensified into Category 1 Tropical Cyclone by April 4, was given the name Seroja — meaning lotus flower. The name was given by the Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre (TCWC) Jakarta.

Do you do research on tropical convection? Consider submitting a session proposal to the MJO & Sub-seasonal monsoon symposium I’m co-organizing w/ @AirSeaAdam & @ZeljkaFuchs. Proposals due April 13th. ams.confex.com/ams/104ANNUAL…
Very excited about this work! The relationship between ocean heat content and tropical convection has always seemed a bit handwavy. Like, sure it make sense, more ocean heat content means more support for convection. But..

Congrats to student presentation award winners in the MJO conference at #AMS2023: @ajda_savarin @KaiClimate @bed_wx @_jingxuancui @Edoteque & Danni Du, Kyle Shackelford, Mu-Ting Chien!! @ametsoc @AMSTropical @AirSeaAdam @brandon_wolding
Here's a quick thread of my favorite talks from #AMS2023. Already planning to rewatch them next week. I missed many talks too, so the list is very incomplete. In no particular order:
@BungeIsabelle - Provided a fresh perspective on the age-old problem of what drives boundary layer convergence in the east Pacific where horizontal SST gradients are strong
