[eoas-seminar at lists.fsu.edu]

Dear all,

Please join us for our first Meteorology seminar of the semester next Tuesday September 23 at 3 PM , given by Dr. Chris Landsea. Dr. Landsea is the Chief of the Tropical Analysis and Forecast Branch at NOAA/NWS/NCEP/National Hurricane Center and he will speak about “Opportunities of Applied Hurricane Research in the Midst of Hurricane Forecasting Operations” (abstract below).

The seminar will be in person on EOA 1044, but a Zoom link is also available for those with a medical excuse or approved work off-campus. Please contact Allison Wing (awing at fsu.edu) for the link.

DATE: Tuesday September 23
TIME: 3-4 PM, please join early for refreshments
LOCATION:  EOA 1044 (speaker in person)
SPEAKER: Dr. Chris Landsea

TITLE: Opportunities of Applied Hurricane Research in the Midst of Hurricane Forecasting Operations

ABSTRACT: In my meteorological career, I've been quite fortunate to have worked at a few amazing offices including the Aircraft Operations Center, the Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre, the Hurricane Research Division, and - since 2005 - the National Hurricane Center as the Science and Operations Officer and the Tropical Analysis and Forecast Branch Chief.  But despite the last two decades working in forecast operations, I still consider myself foremost a researcher.  During our tropical and marine operations, questions have often come up that we didn't readily have answers to.  Questions like:  what are the constraints for how fast tropical cyclones can intensify?  do small tropical cyclones spin up faster than larger ones?  do we have any skill in forecasting the size of tropical cyclones? and what are the limits for predicting the track and intensity of tropical cyclones?  This mini-potpourri of topics will be discussed to provide the answers that we arrived at as we conduct science operationally on a daily basis at the National Hurricane Center.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Cheers,

Allison
