CPAESS Discovery Seminars

CPAESS Seminar banner

We are delighted to share some of the diverse science and research from CPAESS scientists. CPAESS Discovery Seminars take place on the second from the last Wednesday of each month at 11:00 am Mountain Daylight Time. Talks will be posted on CPAESS' YouTube channel after the seminar.

If you are a CPAESS scientist interested in sharing your research at a seminar, please check out our schedule's availability and email us to sign up for a speaking slot.

Please join us for any of these presentations on UCAR's Live Broadcast site. Beneath the broadcast screen is a Slido link so that you can ask questions of the speaker.

 

Upcoming Schedule

 

June 22, 2022 at 11:00 am MDT (add to your google calendar)

Jan-Huey Chen, CPAESS Project Scientist at NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory. Tropical cyclones in GFDL SHiELD. 

Dr. Chen's presentation will investigate the tropical cyclone (TC) forecasts in the models which are participating in the DIMOSIC (DIfferent MOdels - Same Initial Conditions) project. Seven models from different institutes have joined in the project, including the System for High-resolution prediction on Earth-to-Local Domains (SHiELD) from GFDL. All models run 10-day forecasts initialized at 00Z every 3 days with the same initial conditions provided by the ECMWF during June 2018- June 2019. Dr. Chen will compare the TC forecast skills based on the common TC forecast evaluation metrics, e. g. errors/biases of track and intensity, as well as on the TC related precipitation, and TC genesis evaluation.
