From eoas-seminar at lists.fsu.edu Thu Dec 1 10:54:03 2022 From: eoas-seminar at lists.fsu.edu (eoas-seminar at lists.fsu.edu) Date: Thu, 1 Dec 2022 10:54:03 -0500 Subject: [Eoas-seminar] COAPS Short Seminar Series - Monday Dec. 5th at 11:00AM Message-ID: These talks are usually scheduled for the first Monday of each month. The first talk normally starts at 11:00AM.? Each talk is typically 12 minutes long (similar to many professional meetings), with 8 minutes for questions. We are moving to a hybrid talk format where the speakers are encouraged to in-person at COAPS, but on-line talks are acceptable. In person and on-line talks can be attended via Zoom: https://fsu.zoom.us/j/98491660566?pwd=NzBxNzN4LzdsbSs4R3B6RzliOGhhdz09 Meeting ID: 984 9166 0566 Passcode: 478314 Dec. 5th Carly Narotsky: TBD Description: TBD Anna Smoot: Examining the impact of high-resolution ocean surface currents on observations and coupled air/sea modeling in the Gulf of Mexico Description: High-resolution JPL DopplerScat ocean surface currents, along with HYCOM data, are used in the WRF model to examine atmospheric boundary layer response to currents. Emphasis will be on background of the project, use of data flags, and the re-gridding process utilizing cokriging which is a geostatistical technique. Next steps in WRF model runs as well as anticipated boundary layer analysis from model output will also be discussed. Shawn Smith: Developing a User-Friendly In-Situ Marine Turbulent Flux Data Service Description: The talk will describe progress developintg the MarineFlux data service. The focus will include why such a service is needed by the community, the overall design concept, initial datasets to be included, and a few graphics showing some of the initial capabilities of the service prototype. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The diurnal cycle analysis employs Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) to isolate the diurnal mode of variability. The aim of characterizing the diurnal cycle across Florida is to improve our understanding of the routine thunderstorms that occur almost every summer afternoon in Florida.

Prof Sturges graduated in physics with honors from Auburn University in 1957. He then worked as an Ensign in the US Navy at the US Naval Weapons Laboratory in Dahlgran, VA prior to entering graduate school at Johns Hopkins University in 1960. He received an MS and a PhD from Johns Hopkins, after which he joined the faculty at the University of Rhode Island as an Assistant Professor in 1966. After promotion and tenure, he accepted an appointment at the Florida State University Dept of Oceanography in 1972. He retired from FSU in 2001 after serving two separate stints as Department Chair. Under his leadership, Oceanography at FSU grew in numbers and earned national and international recognition. Widely recognized as an expert on the Gulf of Mexico, ocean circulation and sea level, Prof Sturges published over 60 scientifically reviewed articles, with his latest appearing in 2021, two decades after receipt of Emeritus status in 2001. In 2005, he co-edited a highly regarded monograph on the Gulf of Mexico circulation. He also served on several committees of the National Academies of Science and Engineering focusing on a variety of oceanographic issues and advised the state of Florida and the Minerals Management Service on Oil Spill risk assessment. Often sought for service on external review committees, Prof Sturges was known for his objectivity and fairness and his kind touches in all his dealings. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
