#Introduction Hi everyone! #Meteorology and #climate faculty member at IU. Originally from #Alabama. Spend a lot of time watching the weather. Recently gotten more into #retrocomputing (just bought a 486, first time since a teenager). Try to vacation in Ireland & UK every summer (header photo is the Antrim Coast), love country walks there. I remember the BCS era of college football, and run my own computer ratings.
@codykirkp - Welcome to the server, we can always use another met here. I'm operational for a trucking company down in Tennessee.
Did background work a couple years back for a couple of Mizzou grads on documenting Cold Air Damming in the Ozarks.
Only been in a couple of days and trying to add some daily US Hazard weather to my timeliness, hoping to get discussion and questions.
@chattwjonathan Thanks! All of my work was in thunderstorm modeling (and then a postdoc in Boulder, developing COMET modules), but teaching has taken priority over research since I got to Bloomington.
There's a really strong weather & scicomm community over at 'the other place'... am hoping some of them will consider migrating over.
@codykirkp I hope they migrate over too. I'm still in both, too many locals over there for now to let down the public. Probably in a few weeks I'll try to search out some of them too see who has made a jump, or at least waded in.
Love the Comet modules. I used to have a set of the basics of winter that I'd train my seasonal staff with but I've lost the list anymore.
Do you teach grad or undergrad? Do you teach thunderstorms/mesoscale or a bit more broad?
