[Grad-postdoc-assn] ASP seminar tomorrow: T. N. Krishnamurti, Florida State University

[Clark Evans]

Hi all,

The ASP Seminar Series continues tomorrow morning, Weds. Feb. 16th, with 
a talk by Dr. T. N. Krishnamurti, professor emeritus in the Dept. of 
Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Science at Florida State University. Dr. 
Krishnamurti, or Krish as he is better known, will be speaking on the 
dynamics and prediction of hurricanes. The abstract for his talk is 
included below.

The seminar will be held at 11:00 am in FL2-1022. Everyone is invited to 
lunch with Krish after the seminar in FL2-1003.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions, and we hope 
to see you all tomorrow!

Thanks,

Abstract:

The first part of this  talk will address departures from balance laws 
in the inner core of hurricanes, this relates to examples of cloud flare 
ups along the inner eye wall, rapid growth of low level convergence 
beneath such cloud systems, growth of departures from balance laws and 
rapid intensification of hurricanes from a related generation of 
supergradient winds. Major inner core observational requirements are 
suggested from this analysis. The second half of this talk is on 
hurricane track and intensity forecasts using a Modified Ships Algorithm 
and from the use of a suite of Mesoscale Model Ensembles.
