Current Activities
The Convective Modeling Group pursues challenging scientific problems in the atmospheric sciences, particularly processes on the storm-scale, utilizing the powerful computational and expert knowledge resources of NCSA to tackle computational intensive projects. Current efforts include the following research topics:
- Interactions between storms and storms with boundaries and subsequent behavior
- Dynamics of long-track tornadoes and relation to the larger-scale environment
- Impact upon storm dynamics via use of advanced physical parameterizations
- Investigation of supercell flanking line behavior
- Polarimetric radar data assimilation using the Ensemble Kalman Filter
