textbook: A survey of Mesoscale Meteorology, by Paul Markowski and Yvette Richardson. (April 2008 draft). We 'll focus on convective weather, even though the course is offered in the Fall.
course project: An observational and modeling study of the 5/22/08 Laramie mesocyclone (tornado?). This will be a group effort. The objective is to produce a study of sufficient quality and depth to submit it as a paper to Wea and Forecasting (AMS). Components will include all observational evidence (satellite, mesowest, detailed CYS radar analysis) and WRF simulations. This project will be discussed in the first week of classes, and run the entire semester.
