With the unfortunate demise of Tweetbot, my time on Twitter has plummeted. Can’t believe some of you willingly choose to use this atrocious official app 😂

So I’m going to call it quits after 13 years. I’ll periodically check notifications, but other than that…sayonara! 👋

@ChaseThomason Hi Chase, you may be interested in a new BAMS article I was involved in that touches on a long standing, incorrect interpretation that rotation of tornadoes originates from aloft within the storm. https://t.co/d5JSS4VpUT

@keithsherburn @cedavenportwx @larson_climate @kovacik23 @wx_cruz @KathieDello @katcampbellwx @lh0ch unfortunately no go for me, between 3 months of field work and a conference in May, my spring is booked solid. Glad we’re finally getting an official alumni reception though!

@keithsherburn @DopplerChase @AMSSevereStorms in addition to concerns with federal employees, many universities are extremely resistant to use travel funds internationally unless they were specifically written as such when the grant was awarded

That impulse trip to Hawaii I booked in a couple weeks is either looking very fortuitously timed or quite unfortunately timed. Not sure which one yet…

@RissaRWx nah Spanish commentary all the way….GOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLL

[Brice Coffer @BriceCoffer]

@RissaRWx I’ve found similarly frustrating quality for Fox on many of my apple devices. Peacock Telemundo much better quality on apple tv. Even the standard apps on my TV are working better than the fox app on apple

Home office views ain’t too bad today

@OKTornadoDB @pveals @JonDopplerWX the simplest answer is almost always the best. In this case, the weather observer was likely mistaken and there was no “glowing” tornado, especially since nothing of the sort has been observed since https://t.co/lC9QLiFGZ2

@StonyBrook_RAM 🙏🙏🙏
as someone who forgot NCAR computing resources had a scheduled outage this week, you may have just saved my bacon

[Brice Coffer @BriceCoffer]

Not realizing NCAR computing resources have a scheduled outage the week before I head to a conference is exactly how I wanted to start my Monday 🤬

[Brice Coffer @BriceCoffer]

trying something new and sharing a pre-print, mainly because I’m pretty excited about this and I spent a long time working on something I wasn’t excited about…🤷‍♂️

[Brice Coffer @BriceCoffer]

Case of the Mondays? Procrastinate a bit more by taking a look at what I’ve been working on…
What can the origins of inflow air into supercell low-level mesocyclones tell us about the source of their rotation?
*Not peer-reviewed, any feedback welcome!

[Brice Coffer @BriceCoffer]

Low-level mesocyclone intensification does not appear to require additional horizontal vorticity in the forward flank; instead, the dominant contributor to vertical vorticity is from the environmental horizontal vorticity
