The webinar highlights research from two WINGS (Weather Program Office’s Innovation for Next Generation Scientists) fellows who are primed to defend their dissertation this Spring.
Elena Fernandez, a Ph.D. Candidate from the University of Albany, SUNY, will showcase her research, “Evaluating the Representation of the Stratospheric Polar Vortex in UFS Coupled Model Prototypes”.
Lucas Howard, a Ph.D. Candidate from the University of Colorado, Boulder, will showcase his research on “Improved Utilization of Dense Observations in Data Assimilation Systems Using Machine Learning”.
This research aligns with the Weather Program Office’s EPIC (Earth Prediction Innovation Center) and JTTI (Joint Technology Transfer Initiative).
