Physical scientist at the NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory. I use math and computers to study the atmospheric boundary layer, storms, and stuff.
Norman pals: the city is hosting a resource fair and warrant clearing event next Wed, January 14, at The Well from 1-4 pm.
Folks are able to clear certain municipal warrants in a safe setting.There will be materials to mend clothing, stylists to help those needing a trim, and more.

Today is our Christmas celebration and my family treated me to a new outfit so I can be more professional at work.

For no reason at all, here is near-surface potential temperature from a paper in 2016 where we looked at ways to evaluate the temperature structure parameter: one without mean wind and one with a 6 m/s wind. Grids are 2016x2016x1008 with 4-m spacing in the horizontal and 2-m spacing in the vertical.

I’m spending today making sure that I keep pace with current literature.

for no reason, here is another animation from a direct numerical simulation of a share-free atmospheric boundary layer. you can see small plumes moving upward and interacting with neighbors. this is in the center of the domain in the x-z plane (looking north, south to your back).

for no reason, here is an animation from a direct numerical simulation of a share-free atmospheric boundary layer. this is vertical velocity, with narrow bright areas being upward motion, and broad dark areas being downward motion. this is near-surface in the x-y plane (you're superman looking down)

for absolutely no reason, here is near-surface vertical velocity from a direct numerical simulation of a shear-free boundary layer.

a fun little article. counterpoint: maybe the tea was doomed before it ever met the cup.

I’m glad to be back at work, but this sign announcing our return was kinda rude.

Not responsive to the original question, but my father-in-law Carlos was a draftsman and made charts and conceptual figures for NSSL back in the 1960s — such as in this report library.oarcloud.noaa.gov/noaa_documen... or in this tech memo by Kessler: www.atmos.albany.edu/facstaff/rfo...

Last week marked the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. I visited New Orleans for the AMS annual meeting in January 2008. My friends and I barely spoke as we explored the surrounding areas. It felt like we entered a photo — a horror frozen in time, filled with the shadows of ghosts.

a special thanks is owed to the editor (and reviewers). i won't name them in case it's weird to directly mention people in the peer-review process, but they extended grace for long-delayed edits caused, in part, by.
my co-authors made it good. (cc @drstratman.bsky.social)

For fun, a 1-km WoFS nature run for a case starting on March 14, 2025.
The M.B.P. (Most Ballin-ist Player) @ksquared812.bsky.social made the run for us (He makes his own rules here, we call him the mayor)
