This section will have some animations and pictures, both of things I have made or taken (as part of research or just observing the weather) as well as interesting things I find elsewhere.
Here is a picture from inside Hurricane Ida during my first sequence of missions in person since 2019.
This was a beautiful sunrise view from my office at AOML taken in January 2020, right before the pandemic started and we went to full telework.
This was some light rain observed over Phoenix, Arizona, while I was hiking on nearby Camelback Mountain before the 2019 AMS Annual Meeting.
I got this video of thundersnow during an intense snow band in a Nor'easter on March 7, 2018. There were numerous thundersnow reports during this storm!
This was a a picture I took inside the eye of Hurricane Michael while working the radar on the NOAA P-3, a few hours before Michael made landfall in the Florida Panhandle with 155-mph winds. This was an incredibly strong and violent storm.
This is a halo (https://weather.com/news/news/sun-halos-florida-20140416) I saw near Tallahassee, FL in November 2015.
A classic cumulonimbus cloud with anvil (https://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satmet/modules/4_clouds/clouds-8.html) I saw in the distance while hiking at the JR Alford Greenway in Tallahassee, FL in June 2015.
This is a picture from the cockpit of a NOAA P-3 during a flight into TS Karen in 2013 that I was fortunate enough to be on. Karen was a sheared storm so the western side was fairly clear, but we had a bumpy ride on one of the inbound flights!
The Karen flights were also the first time that radar data (which I was helping collect) was assimilated operationally into the HWRF model for hurricane forecasts.
This was a "fallstreak hole" (http://www.weather.gov/arx/why_fallstreaks) formed by introduction of ice crystals in a layer of supercooled water. I saw it in Tallahassee, FL in March 2013.
This was a Lenticular cloud (http://glossary.ametsoc.org/wiki/Lenticularis) over the Boulder, CO Flatirons in February 2013. I saw it while in Boulder for the Winter 2013 WRF Workshop.
