December 18, 2018 11:00 am
CIRA Directors Conference Room
Presented by: Kerrin Caldwell, Major, USAF
Hosted by:
Chief, Air Force Weather Program Requirements & Resources
Abstract: The operational design and strategic construct of weather operations within the Air Force weather architecture is rapidly changing. The motto of “bring the future faster” has allowed for the introduction of unconventional training methods and forecasting techniques being utilized by todays weather operators. New capability requirements upgrades to our weather data assimilation center has… Read more »
Introduction on South Korean Meteorological Satellite Programs focusing on Geo- KOMPSAT -2A (GK- 2A) applications
November 13, 2018 11:00 am
CIRA Directors Conference Room
Presented by: Chu-Yong Chung and Eunha Sohn
Hosted by:
Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA)/National Meteorological Satellite Center (NMSC)
Since 2010, KMA has operated and utilized the Communication, Ocean and Meteorological satellite (COMS), which is expected to be available by 2020. KMA is now preparing for a new era of the Geostationary Korea operational multi-purpose satellite (GeoKompsat-2A or GK-2A; launch scheduled in December 2018). GK-2A has a 16-channel Advanced Meteorological Imager (AMI), which is… Read more »
Wildfire-Driven Thunderstorms Cause a Volcano-Like Stratospheric Injection of Smoke
October 23, 2018 11:00 am
CIRA Directors Conference Room
Presented by: David A. Peterson
Hosted by: James R. Campbell, Edward J. Hyer, Michael D. Fromm, George P. Kablick, Joshua H. Cossuth, Matthew T. DeLand
Naval Research Laboratory
Intense heating by wildfires can generate a deep, smoke-infused thunderstorm, known as pyrocumulonimbus (pyroCb). This extreme weather phenomenon can release a large quantity of smoke particles into the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. The meteorology driving pyroCb occurrence, combined with increasingly active fire seasons, indicates that pyroCb are a significant and endemic summertime feature in… Read more »
