Ivy Glade stands in front of their AMS presentation.
Have you ever wondered how the ocean can affect severe weather in the U.S.? ATS student Ivy Glade gave an amazing talk at AMS on how the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) alters hazardous convective weather (HCW) in the U.S.!

Daniela Guevara Proaño and Jared Stickney stand in front of their posters at AMS.
As the final part of our AMS journey, ATS student Daniela Guevara Proaño and I gave poster presentations about a field campaign we both helped out with last summer, the Front Range OZone Éxperiment (FROZÉ)! 🚗☀️

On the last day of AMS, I saw this excellent talk given by ATS student Phoebe Lin on “Investigating Smoke Transport and Anvil Microphysical-Radiative Processes within Pyrocumulonimbus Storms”!

And with that, my time at #AMS2026 has come to an end! Thank you for following along with me and for reading my attempts at boiling down some hardcore atmospheric science. Goodbye for now! ☺️

The dissolution of NCAR remains a very real possibility, as discussed at a town-hall meeting this week at #AMS2026. @climateconnections.bsky.social

Hannah Grace Marti stands in front of her presentation at AMS.
New particle formation research is bananas! 🍌 ATS student Hannah Grace Marti gave an awesome talk on using Lagrangian analyses for better understanding new particle formation (NPF) during the Houston TRACER-MAP campaign!
@ametsoc.org #ams2026
NPF is usually studied with a stationary perspective, but this often does not capture the full picture. Marti discussed “banana plots”, or a curve shape that is observed when NPF initiates and aerosols grow with time.
I'm so happy! And not surprised at all. What an awesome poster.
CSU’s reception at AMS.
Jared Stickney and Dr. Nicole Riemer pose for a photo together.
AMS reception night was a blast! First, I headed up to CSU’s reception and talked with some prospective students. Then, I visited UIUC’s reception and got to see my undergrad research advisor, Dr. Nicole Riemer for the first time since graduating!

Thanks for all you do @weatherdak.bsky.social!!!
Divya Rea poses in front of her poster.
I stopped by MIT student Divya Rea’s poster about the termination of heatwaves and was absolutely amazed by how thorough and understandable her presentation was!

Way to give some big picture perspective!
Anastasia Tomanek stands in front of her poster on the ICECHIP field campaign.
Check out this awesome poster by ATS student Anastasia Tomanek about a field campaign she was involved in this past summer, In-situ Collaborative Experiment for the Collection of Hail in the Plains (ICECHIP).

A slide from Dr. Cleary’s presentation depicting a map of ozone nonattainment areas in WI, IL, and IN.
A slide from Dr. Cleary’s presentation depicting a summary of the WiscoDisco21 field campaign.
One of my favorite talks of the day so far! Dr. Patricia Cleary from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire talked about the (amazingly named) Wisconsin’s Dynamic Influence of Shoreline Circulations on Ozone (WiscoDISCO) field campaigns.

ATS students and faculty pose for a photo at the AMS Student Graduate School Fair.
Helping out with ATS’ Graduate School Fair booth at the Student AMS Conference last night was so fun! I loved talking to prospective students and sharing my passion for atmospheric science. Thank you to everyone who showed up and asked great questions!

I'm so excited for these #AMS20026 conference posts! Thanks Jared for sharing your @ametsoc.org experience!!!
CIRA participated in a team meeting for the NASA INCUS mission. CSU Atmospheric Science researcher Peter Marinescu presented. Moving air upward in the atmosphere, cloud updrafts affect many aspects of storms throughout their development and lifecycles.

Some early analysis of the major rainfall and flooding in southwest Colorado this weekend in this blog post. It was one of the largest fall rainstorms ever to hit the region, and resulted in major flooding on the San Juan River in Pagosa Springs and on Vallecito Creek, among other locations. #cowx
CONGRATULATIONS @ericmaloney.bsky.social! This honor speaks to your amazing leadership and mentoring. Thanks for all you do for our community 🎉
A remarkable two-day time lapse of Super Typhoon Ragasa.
Over the next few days, Ragasa will continue it's trek west towards China.

Summary graphic titled "Colorado Drought Update". It shows the current US Drought Monitor for Colorado, change in the current US Drought Monitor for Colorado since last week, and percent area of Colorado experiencing drought.
9/18 Drought Update 🌵: We saw more beneficial precipitation last week, which prompted widespread improvements in western and southern Colorado in this week's US Drought Monitor. Good news for now, but we'll need additional moisture to continue chipping away at those longer-term deficits.
