Dear all,

Please join us next Thursday October 26 for a Meteorology seminar, given by Prof. Jimmy Booth<https://jfbooth.ccny.cuny.edu> of City College of New York. He will speak about "Understanding Weather Hazards in the Northeast United States Through Analysis of Cyclone Tracks”. (Abstract below).

Prof. Booth will be joining us in person in 1044. If you are interesting in meeting with the speaker, please contact Rhys Parfitt (rparfitt at fsu.edu<mailto:rparfitt at fsu.edu>). He is available on Thursday afternoon before the seminar and on Friday morning.

DATE: Thursday October 26
SEMINAR TIME: Refreshments at 3 PM, Talk 3:15 PM - 4:15 PM.
SEMINAR LOCATION: EOA 1044 (Speaker in person)
SPEAKER: Prof. Jimmy Booth<https://jfbooth.ccny.cuny.edu>

TITLE: Understanding Weather Hazards in the Northeast United States Through Analysis of Cyclone Tracks

ABSTRACT: This talk is primarily focused on cyclones, both extratropical and tropical. While 1-day operational forecasts of these storms can be quite good, there is still much to improve for medium-range forecasts and climate predictions, especially in terms of the hazards the storms may bring. With this in mind, the approach presented herein uses statistical analysis of historical events to determine if there are links between the synoptic-scale organization of the storms and the locations or traits of the hazards they produce. Specifically, I will report on the connections, or, in some cases lack thereof, between the paths taken by these storms and storm surge, precipitation, and high winds. The statistical results are interpreted through known physical processes that generate the hazards, with rationale provided on the patterns observed. After talking about cyclones identified based on the hazards they create, I will shift focus and discuss temporal clustering of cyclones. For this topic, I will review Rossby wave-breaking and the unique behavior of clustering at the storm track entrance and exit. Then, I will review what is known on clustering events that impact Western Europe and then detail what we have found for the Northeast US.
