Dear all,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Please join us this <b class="">Thursday November 3</b> for our next Meteorology seminar, given by <a href="http://people.se.cmich.edu/allen4jt/allen_homepage.html" class="">Prof. John Allen</a> of Central Michigan University. Prof. Allen will
speak about “<i class="">Severe Convective Storms: Local problems with global connections”
</i><span style="font-style: normal;" class="">(abstract below).</span></div>
<div class=""><i class=""><br class="">
</i></div>
<div class=""><span class="">Prof. Allen will be joining </span>us virtually <span class="" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial;">but we will gather in EOA 1044 to participate in the seminar. If you cannot attend in person due to a medical reason or approved
work out of town, please contact Allison Wing (</span><a href="mailto:awing@fsu.edu" class="" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial;">awing@fsu.edu</a><span class="" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial;">) for remote access. Otherwise, we look forward to seeing
everyone in 1044! Please join us at 3 PM for refreshments prior to the beginning of the talk at 3:15 PM. </span></div>

<div class=""><font class=""><b class="">ABSTRACT: </b></font><span style="font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="">Severe thunderstorms are a local
phenomena found globally, and produce a variety of hazards that include hail, tornadoes, damaging winds, lightning and heavy precipitation. In the present climate, these events produce large losses to property and life. The warming climate is expected to influence
these storms, primarily through increasing thermodynamic instability as atmospheric moisture scales with warming near-surface temperatures. However, while a number of studies have explored how the climate system modulates these hazards, the focus has disproportionately
favored North America and Europe. This presents a challenge, as many parts of the world that regularly experience severe thunderstorms exist in different climate regimes or latitudes which exhibit non-linear responses to the warming climate. Hence what is
known for these regions does not reflect a complete picture of the expected changes to hazards. This presentation will share new insights into the frequency at which environments favorable to severe convection occur globally through the use of atmospheric
reanalyses, and discuss how these environments change in response to both climate variability and change as projected using the latest generation of Coupled-Model Intercomparison Project Version 6 (CMIP6) data. Through these insights, the presentation will
address the importance of mutually-collaborative international partnerships to emphasize the contributions of local expert knowledge, engaging stakeholders and encouraging the sharing of new tools to facilitate generating environmental profiles for vast arrays
of data.</span></div>
