<p>Tyler Sherrod: Flash Droughts in the Wake of Landfalling Atlantic
Tropical Cyclones </p>
<div>
<div>Description: A new methodology has been created to detect
flash droughts based off cumulative daily anomalies of soil
moisture, precipitation, and surface temperature. This allows
for a more objective detection of the onset and demise of a
flash drought. This method is then used to detect flash droughts
that occur in the wake of landfalling Atlantic tropical
cyclones.<br>

<p>Marc Castells: Using SAMOS ship-based data to examine SST-wind
stress coupling across SST</p>
<p>Description: A positive correlation between sea surface
temperature (SST) and wind stress has long been observed in
satellite-derived global datasets. Model simulations in previous
studies have determined which combinations of certain
characteristics (high/low latitude, high/low wind speed across the
front, and wide/narrow width of the front) should enable which of
three mechanisms (pressure adjustment, stability, or Coriolis) to
be dominant in the SST-wind stress coupling. This study uses SAMOS
data from ships crossing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current to
solve for a cross-front momentum equation along the ships' tracks.
The value of each term of this equation, and how it varies with
distance from the SST front, give an indication of which coupling
mechanism is dominant in each case. Cases can be categorized by
their combination of characteristics to draw comparisons with
previous model studies.</p>
<p>Emily Powell: The 2021 Florida weather and climate annual review
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Description: With the turn of a new year, we
will take a look back at the weather and climate for Florida in
2021. We will briefly look at nationwide temperature and
precipitation for the year and then take a closer look at
statewide and local level statistics and where 2021 fits within
long-term trends in our climate. We will also discuss the hazards
and severe weather that impacted Florida, as well as large-scale
patterns like ENSO that influenced our weather during the year.</p>

<p>Heather Holbach: Operational SFMR Algorithm Update</p>
<p>Description: The Stepped-Frequency Microwave Radiometer (SFMR) is
the primary remote sensing instrument on the Hurricane Hunter
aircraft for obtaining surface wind speed estimates in tropical
cyclones. This talk will discuss the updates being made to the
SFMR algorithm to improve the accuracy of the wind speed
retrievals at high wind speeds (≥ 100 kts).</p>
