Research Details

Description: The Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting (HWRF) Ensemble Data Assimilation System (HEDAS) was used to study the dynamic and thermodynamic evolution of Fabian's eyewall in an attempt to relate the transition of the eyewall from circular to triangular to potential mesovortices present.

Presenting initial results at the 13th Annual AMS Student Conference Poster Session.
