My M.S. research, under the advisement of Drs. Dan Keyser and Lance Bosart, focused on arctic/middle latitude interactions with an empahasis on predictability associated with these interactions. This work was supported by the National Science Foundation through Grant ATM - 0434189. I have conducted a global climatological evaluation of coherent tropause disturbances (CTDs) including case studies, in particular for the 'Blizzard of 2005' which affected a large portion of the northeast U.S. with eastern New England particularly hard hit. Results from this work have been presented at multiple symposia and conferences beginning with the First Annual THORPEX Symposium in Montreal, Canada 6-10 December, 2004, including the American Meteorological Society (AMS) 21st Conference on Weather Analysis and Forecasting in Washington, D.C. 1-5 August, 2005 as well as the 11th Conference on Mesoscale Processes (AMS) 24-29 October 2005 in Albuquerque, NM. This work has been presented most recently at the 13th Cyclone Workshop 22-27 October 2006. The abstract from the Mesoscale Conference can be found here. The full set of powerpoint presentation slides from that talk can be found here . A manuscript based upon this research is in preparation to be submitted to the Journal of Atmospheric Science. For my doctoral research, under the advisement of Dr. Paul Roundy, I am investigating the association of intraseasonal oscillations (MJO) and equatorial waves with midlatitude Rossby wave patterns and weather. |
