- Developing a Numerical Weather Prediction derived Fire Weather Forecast Model to assess the moisture content within varied layers of the forest fuels (vegetation) for daily use by operational wildland firefighters. | ||
- This hourly forest fuel moisture forecast is being integrated into a fire growth and fuel emissions model to aid in smoke forecast predictions in the Bluesky Canada smoke forecast system. | ||
- A webpage was created for displaying the Fire Weather Forecast products, associated meteorology, and current wildfire locations on a zoomable map with popup point forecast functionality. For more information, visit the Fire Weather Forecast website. | ||
- Constructed low-cost, in situ instruments to observe and profile the vertical concentration of PM2.5 in wildfire smoke plumes. These disposable Particulate Matter Sensors, calibrated against an industry-standard GRIMM OPC, provide a low-cost way to collect data to better understand wildfire smoke dynamics and forecasting. The sensors, built with off-the-shelf components, cost approximately $100 to build. For more information, visit the Fire Sensors website. | ||
- Co-creator and Instructor (with Dr. Stull) of a new fourth-year Synoptic Fire Weather Forecasting Course, which includes the following topics: | ||
- Analyze and interpret weather-observation data, | ||
- Interpret numerical weather prediction models, | ||
- Apply meteorological principles to fire behavior, | ||
- Compare alternative fire spread/danger outcomes given weather forecast uncertainty, | ||
- Develop fire response plan of the day materials (as if they were professional fire-weather forecasters). | ||
- Each Friday, a graduate or fourth-year undergraduate student in the Atmospheric Science Department is required to do a weekend weather forecast. I am considered the Graduate Student Subject Matter Expert and assist the student in developing their one-hour forecast. | ||
- Teacher Assistant for Dr. Stull's Weather Instruments Course | ||
- Assist with developing grant proposals that fund various research projects within the department. | ||
- Notable Coursework: | ||
- Data Analysis in Atmospheric, Earth, and Ocean Sciences | ||
- Boundary-Layer Meteorology | ||
- Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) | ||

- Assisting Dr. Katja Friedrich and Nicholas Luchetti (Ph.D. student) in evaluating thunderstorm outflow boundaries in WRF-Fire. | ||
- My tasks included detecting and analyzing 26 observed outflow boundaries in the Colorado Front Range to validate WRF’s ability to accurately model gust fronts. | ||
- Analyzed the characteristics of each individual outflow boundary using a variety of remote sensing and in-situ instruments. | ||
Depth, length, propagation speed/direction, temperature/pressure change, turbulence, and maximum velocity throughout the boundary layer were quantified and categorized depending on the thunderstorm type, terrain, and ambient atmospheric conditions. | ||
