Dr Bogdan Antonescu & Dr Jonathan Fairman Scientific Communication, Numerical Meteorology and Mesoscale Meteorology Dr Bogdan Antonescu & Dr Jonathan Fairman 19-29 April 2016 Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology bogdan.antonescu@manchester.ac.uk jonathan.fairman@manchester.ac.uk

So where are we from?

So what do we do? Dr Antonescu  Tornadoes  Severe weather climatology  Severe storm research  Risk-based assessments of hazardous weather

So what do we do? Dr Fairman Atmospheric data analysis  Mesoscale atmospheric modeling  Mesoscale atmospheric circulations  Global paleoclimate modeling  Using lots and lots of supercomputer time

Where do we do this work? Room 3.16 of the Simon Building on the University of Manchester main campus

What we’re going to be talking about Scientific communication Reading and writing scientific papers Making better presentations and posters Numerical atmospheric modeling How computers make weather forecasts, why they’re wrong a lot of the time and how we can make it better Atmospheric measurements Surface, upper air, radars… Mesoscale meteorology Deep moist convection, thunderstorms, hail, lightning, tornadoes, flash floods, mountain circulations, orographic impacts on weather, mesoscale circulations… Basically, if it’s mesoscale, we can talk about it
