This month we had 2 guest speakers: A broadcast meteorologist from KOCO – Taylor Cox and a CIWRO Research Meteorologist – Dr. Matt Flournoy.
Taylor talked a little bit about her career path and how she got to KOCO. She then talked a little bit about her day-to-day schedule including some of the reporting she does during the week and the importance of communication. If you have any questions for Taylor, you can email her at taylor.cox@hearts.com. KOCO is also taking internships, and you can email jcarlisle@hearst.com if you are interested!
Dr. Flournoy talked a bit about his path to working at CIWRO. He then talked about some of the research he is doing right now including a brief explanation of supercell dynamics. He also talked a little bit about TORUS. He walked us through some forecasting scenarios for previous events and talked a little bit about how to decide when/where to go for field projects. If you have any questions for Matt, you can email him at matthew.flournoy@noaa.gov.
Leia gave a brief overview of all the events we have done this year including the many service events we have done.
