Dear all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Our next MET Seminar will be given by <a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcimss.ssec.wisc.edu%2F~jcintineo%2F&data=05%7C02%7Ceoas-seminar%40lists.fsu.edu%7C439297eb4aee4883243708df350e7dc4%7Ca36450ebdb0642a78d1b026719f701e3%7C0%7C0%7C639288008474692413%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=eKUuvIpZAkDwz3IYemIqrcmyHMYtV7RwRLEDCyenhaw%3D&reserved=0" originalsrc="https://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/~jcintineo/">John
Cintineo</a>, a research meteorologist at the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL), stationed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, which houses the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS). He will speak about "<b><i>Nowcasting
convective hazards in the era of AI: New patterns and opportunities</i></b>” (see full abstract below). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>John will be joining us remotely, but we will gather in person to watch the seminar together in EOA 1044. A Zoom link is available for those with a medical excuse or approved work off-campus. Please contact Allison Wing (<a href="mailto:awing@fsu.edu">awing@fsu.edu</a>)
for the link. </div>

</div>
<div>DATE: Tuesday November 3</div>
<div>TIME: 3-4 PM, please join early for refreshments</div>
<div>LOCATION: EOA 1044</div>
<div>SPEAKER: John Cintineo (<a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcimss.ssec.wisc.edu%2F~jcintineo%2F&data=05%7C02%7Ceoas-seminar%40lists.fsu.edu%7C439297eb4aee4883243708df350e7dc4%7Ca36450ebdb0642a78d1b026719f701e3%7C0%7C0%7C639288008474710795%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=7kX1xMMycAphR71SCXiI%2BJE%2BaSxWgnMHVYwannUD5Aw%3D&reserved=0" originalsrc="https://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/~jcintineo/">https://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/~jcintineo/</a>)</div>

<div>
<div><b><i>Nowcasting convective hazards in the era of AI: New patterns and opportunities</i></b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thunderstorm hazards remain impactful throughout the world. At the global scale, lightning, hail, severe wind gusts, tornadoes, and flash flooding kill thousands of people and cost tens of billions of dollars annually (Munich Re). While forecasts have
improved, the increasing vulnerability of human development and infrastructure compels researchers and forecasters to work together to mitigate the impacts of convective hazards.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The realm of nowcasting (0-6 hours) is where life-and-death decisions are made. Information-rich remotely sensed observations (e.g., satellite, radar) along with modern AI/ML hardware and APIs have enabled breakthroughs in short-term forecasting. To optimize
the value of these resources, I propose three items: 1) Data curation and data-sharing practices must be robust and sustainable, with equal considerations for operational and research purposes, 2) End-users or customers should be included in the research-to-operations
process, with frequent opportunities for feedback, and 3) Verification of forecast products does not end after a transfer to operations—verification is the means to new scientific insight.</div>
