1. Dr Bogdan Antonescu & Dr Jonathan Fairman
Scientific Communication, Numerical Meteorology and Mesoscale Meteorology
Dr Bogdan Antonescu & Dr Jonathan Fairman
19-29 April 2016 Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology

2. So where are we from?

3. So what do we do?
Dr Antonescu  Tornadoes  Severe weather climatology  Severe storm research  Risk-based assessments of hazardous weather

4. So what do we do?
Dr Fairman Atmospheric data analysis  Mesoscale atmospheric modeling  Mesoscale atmospheric circulations  Global paleoclimate modeling  Using lots and lots of supercomputer time

5. Where do we do this work?
Room 3.16 of the Simon Building on the University of Manchester main campus

6. What we’re going to be talking about
Scientific communication
Reading and writing scientific papers
Making better presentations and posters
Numerical atmospheric modeling
How computers make weather forecasts, why they’re wrong a lot of the time and how we can make it better
Atmospheric measurements
Surface, upper air, radars…
Mesoscale meteorology
Deep moist convection, thunderstorms, hail, lightning, tornadoes, flash floods, mountain circulations, orographic impacts on weather, mesoscale circulations… Basically, if it’s mesoscale, we can talk about it
