NOAA Convective Scale Predictability and Development of Severe Weather Model Diagnostics, Verification, and Visualization Strategies for High-Resolution Ensemble Forecast Systems

Due: May 1, 2025

$60,000

Description

The use of convection-permitting models (CPMs) represents a fundamental change in how forecasters use numerical models—rather than inferring potential societal hazards from forecast environments predicted by relatively coarse convection-parameterizing models—CPMs provide direct information on specific fine-scale weather phenomena that produce hazardous weather (e.g., flash flood producing rainfall systems, tornadic thunderstorms, and squall lines with damaging wind gusts). However, effective use of CPMs requires new and innovativ...

Grantor Contact InformationAdviser: Adam James Clark, Phone: 405.325.6170Grantor Emailadam.clark@noaa.govOther Grantor InformationThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
