Research Interests
- Convective-scale numerical weather prediction, both deterministic and probabilistic (ensemble approach)
- Forecast verification, including alternative methods such as neighborhood and object-based
- Outside of work:
- I own and operate the Stormtrack online community, a forum for severe weather and storm chasing enthusiasts and veterans alike.
- I participate in various mentoring activities for upcoming scientists. In 2022-2023 I advised an undergraduate student for the Lapenta Internship program. In 2023-2024 I am sharing letters about my academic background and the nature of a career in research meteorology with a pen pal as part of the Letters to a Pre-Scientist Program
Current Research
I am serving as a forecast verification expert on a multi-institutional team with scientists from CSU/CIRA to assess the utility of machine-learning/AI-based weather prediction models (one of these acronyms works: DLWP, MLWP, MLAIWP) for widespread and operational forecasting purposes. MLWP is compared to traditional physics-based numerical weather prediction (NWP) models that solve the governing equations of the atmosphere.
I am continuing work investigating the sensitivity of configuration options in MODE to perform object-based verification of CAM-scale forecasts.
