3/4/2016: Dr. Steven Cavallo awarded ONR Young Investigator Award
Prof. Cavallo and the AAARG research group will be studying Arctic cyclones with a new grant entitled “Polar Predictability and Dynamics through Multi-scale Atmospheric Vortices.” See this press release or contact us for more info!
3 student graduations!
Congratulations to the following AAARG students!
Dr. Ariel Cohen, who successfully defended his Ph.D. dissertation “Southeast U.S. cold season severe thunderstorm environments and their depictions using multiple planetary boundary layer parameterization schemes” (adviser: Prof. Steven Cavallo).
Chris Riedel, who successfully defended his M.S. thesis “Improved characterization and prediction of Antarctic weather through ensemble data assimilation and utilization of the concordiasi data set” (adviser: Prof. Steven Cavallo).
Ben Blake, who succesfully defended his M.S. thesis “The structure, evolution and dynamics of a nocturnal convective system simulated using the WRF-ARW model (adviser: Prof. David Parsons)
9/3/2015: AAARG sea ice research in the news!

05/04/2015: Model for the Prediction Across Scales (MPAS) goes real-time for the 2015 Hazardous Weather Testbed Spring Experiment
The NOAA Hazardous Weather Testbed’s 2015 Spring Experiment will include global MPAS forecasts for the first time ever! Simulations are initialized daily from GFS at 00 UTC. MPAS is a variable-resolution global mesh, with cell spacing ranging from 3-km over the Continental United States with a smooth transition to 50-km elsewhere around the globe. It includes a “scale aware” convective parameterization. Animations can be found at:
http://www.wrf-model.org/plots/realtime_mpasconv.php
This project is made possible through a collaborative effort between Dr. Steven Cavallo at the University of Oklahoma, Dr. Louis Wicker of NSSL, Dr. William Skamarock of NCAR, and Dr. Adam Clark of NSSL.
Coming soon, we will provide exciting animations on the globe!

01/20/2015: AAARG undergraduate student Kelton Halbert leads National Weather Center team awarded best student poster
Kelton Halbert and Greg Blumberg both of the School of Meteorology and Patrick Marsh of NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center were awarded best student poster at the 5th Symposium on Advances on Modeling and Analysis Using Python. Congratulations to the authors, especially to Kelton Halbert, since he is a sophomore competing against mostly MS and PhD students. Kelton volunteers for the Oklahoma Weather Laboratory and works supporting research under Dr. Steven Cavallo within the Antarctic And Arctic Research Group (AAARG).
