Calling all @NWS forecasters interested in participating in the HWT testing our new radar products in simulated severe warning operations! Application deadline March 4th.
Take a read through my first coauthored paper from my senior capstone project! Tropical Cyclone Supercell Response to the Coast Using a Climatology of Radar‐Derived Azimuthal Shear - Alford - 2023 - Geophysical Research Letters - Wiley Online Library agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…
Very proud of this work just published in GRL, which was started as a @ousom Senior Capstone project. Give it a read if you want to learn about how tropical cyclone supercell mesocyclones respond as they move from ocean to land! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…
#Eclipse as seen through the holes in the NOXP radar dish 📡
Shout out to the gas station in Eutaw, AL, where @WxHerbert and I got the strawberry hi chew tornado tradition started during PERiLS (100% POD for tornado prediction), leading us to this taste test
NW OK supercell at around 6 and 7:30 pm (time of tornado reports) #okwx
Storm near Beaver, OK starting at 6:43 pm #okwx
Special thanks to @PurdueEAPS alum @tonyreinhart for showing off @NOAANSSL’s NOXP radar to our #SPOTTR class! @TORUSupercell
Some pictures from the past few days with @TORUSupercell !!! I’ve had an amazing time experiencing the ins and outs of fieldwork with the best crew!!!🤍⛈️ #TORUSLItE
This one from 20 min earlier is my favorite of the day though.
Here’s @NOAANSSL NOXP’s view of the storm at the same time at ~350 m elevation. Getting some great data for @TORUSupercell

Not exactly what I expected from this storm, but saw my first landspout today!
MRMS low level rotation tracks show how quickly this little supercell spun up too! Kept radar operations interesting for this shift for sure! #cowx

TORP is detecting a possible strong waterspout off of the coast in Florida. Don't think I've ever seen an offshore storm with AzShear at 0.03 /s before! #flwx
whoa #okwx

My friend Logan sent me a picture of this poster. It was a preorder incentive for @TheSpaceGal’s new book Next Level. I’m the purple square! 😭🥰 So cool! Humbling to be included with these other incredible scientists!
@tlyzawx @TheaSandmael It was my first survey, and it was eye opening.
.@addisonalford, @TheaSandmael, and I surveyed numerous destroyed homes along a 30-mi portion of the killer southern TN long-tracker on 3/31 during PERiLS. Not a single one had *any* clear signs of attachment. It was heartbreaking.
Graduated College with a Meteorology Degree, moved across the country for grad school, made some amazing new friends, and got my name on a published paper for the first time.
Yet another proud #ScienceDad moment: @ammmurphy successfully defended her dissertation yesterday. Congratulations Dr. Murphy!
@addisonalford @ousom So happy its out! Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity!
🚨New paper alert!🚨 The second paper of my PhD work with @AtmoScientist is out in its final form in ACP! We created a climatology of water vapor extremes in the lower stratosphere (including the lowermost stratosphere!) and examine some potential sources of the extrema ⛈️

Radar images make the best posters! We're so proud of the scientists sharing their research during the presentations at the AMS Radar Conference in Minneapolis this week. @ametsoc_radar #AMS40Radar
Been in downtown Minneapolis this week and presented some early work for the INCUS mission. It’s been nice to reconnect with the radar community for the first time since 2017 📡 #AMS40Radar
Addison Alford with one of the clearest, smoothest presentations I’ve seen this week. What an epic PAR session! #AMS40Radar
Great day for @NOAANSSL with presentations at #AMS40Radar and an entire panel discussion on phased array radar research #AMSSCM2023! We have a great team and we truly are at the cutting edge for weather research! Thanks @ametsoc for the opportunity!
