I’m honored that our recent JAMES publication was selected as an @eos.org @agu.org Research Spotlight. We show how tropical high-impact Wx events evolve under future atmospheric conditions. I'm excited to continue this work with my research group at @tamuartsci.bsky.social, ATMO Department.

Many cyclones, like 2006’s Hurricane Helene, originate from wet-weather systems over Africa. A recent study indicates climate change intensifies these systems, amplifying flood risks for vulnerable African communities. New #AGUPubs research by @knubez.bsky.social eos.org/research-spo...

As a result of climate change, future Atlantic tropical cyclones are likely to develop and move more slowly, and hold more moisture. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/... Hurricane #Melissa Cat 5 - a forewarning of things to come over coming decades ?

Interesting Uni Texas UTIG Seminar from @knubez.bsky.social "Novel Regional Modeling Approaches for Current and Future Tropical Weather and Climate" Exploring the influence of the African Easterly Jet (AEJ) and African Easterly Waves (AEWs) on tropical storms. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgBz...

In honor of Dr. Jenni Evans's legacy in tropical meteorology, I warmly welcome your participation in the upcoming session @ametsoc.org's 37th Conf. on Hurricanes & Tropical Meteorology: "From Tropics to Extratropics: Exploring Cyclone Dynamics in Current & Future Climates in Memory of Jenni Evans" 🧵

Last week, I had the absolute pleasure of visiting the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG) & learning about the amazing work the faculty & students are doing — especially the incredible research coming out of Danielle Touma's group! You can find my talk on YouTube👉 lnkd.in/gTcV3TmB

🚨 New Study Alert! Our study with @zmoon92.bsky.social & @edougherty.bsky.social offers new insights into how African Easterly Waves (AEWs), the seeds of Atlantic hurricanes 🌀, are being shaped by a warmer, moister climate. doi.org/10.1029/2025...

The Dept. of Atmospheric Sciences at Texas A&M has a YouTube channel. Check out our first video! Starring @knubez.bsky.social along with many faculty and students! youtu.be/_e57SmX2Ijw?...

Loved visiting NC State's @ncstate.bsky.social Department of Marine, Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences—catching up with friends like Allison Michaelis and Anantha Aiyyer, meeting new people, and chatting with grad students. Exciting work happening there, and I look forward to staying connected!

Meet the Tropical Systems Group @tamuatmo.bsky.social: featuring Dr. Kwesi Quagraine, Stephanie Ortiz Rosario, and Dr. @zmoon92.bsky.social ! We study the weather and climate of the tropics — from ⛈️to TCs 🌀— using km-scale models, obs, & a passion for science comms! sites.google.com/tamu.edu/nun...

Aug 16: Images from @NOAA_HurrHunter and the @NOAASatellites Ocean Winds team show an intense eyewall in Hurricane #Erin This photo shows the ocean surface calm in the eye and roaring in the eyewall. For the latest forecast visit hurricanes.gov https://x.com/NHC_Atlantic/status/1956713125828325429

🏛️ Texas A&M Atmospheric Sciences professor, Dr. John Nielsen-Gammon, will testify before Congress Wednesday morning at 9 AM CT in a hearing titled “Protecting Lives and Property: Harnessing Innovative Technologies to Enhance Weather Forecasting.” VIDEO: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfgH...

I'll be speaking tomorrow, Thurs., May 29th, at 9:30AM Eastern Time in the Weather & Climate Livestream www.youtube.com/@wclivestream Topic: Using climate models to predict solar and wind power droughts, i.e., periods when it is Dark & Still (agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....)

🔊In collaboration with @ncar-ucar.bsky.social, NCAR, the Mesoamerica Affinity Group (MAAG) was created to promote research & collaborations in Earth science across Mesoamerica & the Caribbean. Want to learn more? When: May 30th @ 2pm ET Where: Zoom, tinyurl.com/CaribForClim...

My recent feature with @tamu.bsky.social: We discuss how ongoing research, including my own, is helping to better understand and anticipate high-impact tropical weather. Read more here👇🌀⛈️ @tamuatmo.bsky.social @tamuartsci.bsky.social

We will be holding a memorial celebration for Prof. Jenni Evans this coming Friday (4/11) at 5:00 PM in 112 Walker Building @pennstateuniv.bsky.social to honor her life. If you would like to give a speech, reach out to me @ [email protected] or Guido Cervone ([email protected]). @ametsoc.org

It is with deep sadness that I share the passing of my Ph.D. advisor, Jenni Evans. She was an esteemed scientific leader in tropical meteorology & computational science. She shared great strength & inspiration to follow my dreams. @ametsoc.org @pennstateuniv.bsky.social shorturl.at/BrzAU

Sharing some new work I am pretty proud of! Highlights communication issues around the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale when the primary threat is not wind. Let me know if you need the PDF. journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal...

The AMS is temporarily opening its career services to all who need them, regardless of membership status, and offering dues waivers and meeting registration fee reductions for those impacted by job loss due to changes in the government. Read more: bit.ly/4gRiHAk

Proud! My PhD student Sahir Gagan has been awarded the Thomas Powell Fellowship! His work in lab and field sampling, along with his commitment to outreach programs, is making a real impact. Thrilled to see his hard work is recognized in the news today! artsci.tamu.edu/news/2025/02...

Excited to share Kelly & I's new GRL paper: We see an intensification of the West African Monsoon, a stronger African Easterly jet, and increase + southern shift in precip over tropical Africa in a warmer climate using MPAS + the PGW method. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Dr. Kelly Núñez Ocasio @knubez.bsky.social, assistant professor at @tamuatmo.bsky.social, and Dr. Erin Dougherty @edougherty.bsky.social from NCAR are using a new kilometer-scale regional model to explore how climate change will impact tropical Africa. Read more online: tx.ag/ATMOTropical

If you happen to be at #AGU24 and come across Ember, NOAA’s support dog, please send pics! 🥹 She is ADORABLE!! I can’t stop thinking about her!

Today! #AGU24

Welcome Texas A&M @tamu.bsky.social Atmospheric Sciences! If you're interested in atmospheric sciences, give @tamuatmo.bsky.social a follow

📢#AGU24: Interested in how the warming climate will affect weather over Africa & the Atlantic? Stop by my talk on Monday! @edougherty.bsky.social & I have join forces & are pioneering the use of MPAS (next gen weather & climate model) @ km-scales to simulate future climate projections! ⛈️

This was fun to do! Might have been a slow news day on campus, but I'll take it! artsci.tamu.edu/news/2024/11...
