#AMS21Meso

Honored to have won a student oral presentation award! Thanks #AMS21Meso for a great conference

So immensely proud of ALL our students & early career presenters at #AMS21Meso this week! Their enthusiasm and big ideas are truly an inspiration - a bright sign for the future of the field. I think I speak for everyone when I say the best is to come for these future leaders! 🙌

Let's thank the brilliant program chairs, Drs. Daniel Kirshbaum and @rhapsodyinbrown.bsky.social, and the fantastic staff from @ametsoc.org, for organizing an amazing #AMS21Meso, when we still have the exciting memories of the past week fresh!

We have our student and very early career presentation awards announced yesterday at the end of #AMS21Meso! These awards are very competitive this year, and kudos to all the students and early career presenters -- you all are amazing!!! (1/2)

A big thanks to the AMS Board on Student Affairs for organizing a networking pod for students this afternoon! Many great conversations were had and new connections made. #AMS52BC #AMS21Meso

Houser: very high-res simulated tornado paths affected by terrain, not by land cover; adding idealized or realistic terrain results in stronger tornadoes at some point in life cycle; roughness modulates height of max winds #AMS21Meso

@melindaberman.bsky.social, just one of the many great student presenters at #AMS21Meso, shared her work this morning on the environmental controls for overshooting top characteristics. We love to see all the amazing work from students this week!

Berman: overshooting top area is most closely related to environmental shear (via updraft core area), while overshooting top depth is mostly determined by upper troposphere/lower stratosphere static stability #AMS21Meso

Fu: simulations addressing complications to RKW framework when low-level jets interact with cold pools; faster LLJ and lower LLJ altitude associated with stronger convective systems #AMS21Meso

Starting off with more storms this morning at #AMS21Meso 🧵

Rasmussen: both pseudo-global warming and downscaling approaches find decreased weak convection and increased strong convection in a future climate, associated with larger CAPE and larger CIN over central and eastern CONUS

Ready for Day 3, here with @jakecarstens.bsky.social !

Excited for a lot of the talks today at #AMS52BC #AMS21Meso

Faletti: EnKF WoFS-TORUS analyses of 2022 Morton, TX tornadic supercell; accurate representation of complex supercell evolution, including cyclic low-level mesocyclones; tradeoffs for reflectivity assimilation #AMS21Meso

De Bruin: UAS + mesonet + radar analysis of supercell left flanks during TORUS. Both density current and convergent boundary structures found; vortex sheets located just behind surges and strongest at sfc; horizontal w gradients at boundaries contribute to streamwise vorticity #AMS21Meso

Davis: observed cold pool structures, including wind perturbations, vary with convective intensity/organization; cold pool motions closely correlated with predicted density current motions #AMS21Meso

#AMS21Meso storm topics this afternoon 🧵

Mullendore: Lower entrainment in observed updrafts for high shear, high LCLs, high ECAPE, low midlevel RH, and low MUCAPE; first such analysis for midlatitude continental storms

🏳️‍🌈 For those with us in Boise for #AMS21Meso and #AMS52BC
that are members of the LGBTQ+ community or allies, make sure to stop by AMS BRAID's Queer Gatherings (QG) event this afternoon! We hope to see you in room 110C during the 3:15 coffee break.

Back at it with storms this morning at #AMS21Meso 🧵

Lane: Stratiform orientation and system tilt in Australian linear convection determined by MUCAPE and deeper layers of shear, rather than 0-3-km shear or possible cold pool strength

Ready for Day 2!

Lots of talks I’m excited to hear from #AMS52BC and #AMS21Meso

Day 1 of #AMS21Meso is in the books! Lots of awesome science shared and discussed, with beautiful Boise weather to boot. Plus, it's always a good day when you get to brainstorm QLCS tornado science with @jimcantore.bsky.social 🌪️proud of the @ams-meso.bsky.social team - onwards to Tuesday!

Last but not least for our day 1 speakers is Jason Cordeira covering precipitation forecast skill. We look forward to doing it all over again tomorrow at 8:30! #AMS21Meso

Happening now: Aaron Johnson is giving an invited talk about dryline convective initiation after winning our Early Career Award. Congratulations Dr. Johnson! #AMS21Meso

Up now is one of our fearless conference organizers Dr. Matt Brown (@rhapsodyinbrown.bsky.social) talking about predicting rotation in squall lines. #AMS21Meso

Attendees picking up badges at the registration area.

The 21st Conference on Mesoscale Processes officially begins today and we're excited for an amazing few days ahead 🎊

Feeling like missing out on our conference? You can still join us virtually and see some amazing presentations: bit.ly/43ynQKP #AMS52BC #AMS21Meso

We’re starting the week off strong at #AMS21Meso with our session on squall lines and a talk about derechoes from Dr. Andy Wade!

Made it! #AMS21Meso

If you see me around, feel free to strike up a conversation.

Excited to be in Boise for #AMS21Meso! If you're here on Wednesday AM, come stop by my talk to hear what we've been up to with OTs!

Excited to head to Boise, ID for #AMS21Meso this coming week. I’ll be presenting results from my M.S. work on Thursday. Hope to see you there!

See you very soon in Boise for #AMS52BC and #AMS21Meso from my landling flight!

🚨 LAST CALL FOR EARLY BIRDS! 🐦 Get registered for #AMS21Meso and #AMS52BC by the end of the day to take advantage of early registration rates! Happy registering and hope to see you in Boise ✈️
