20 years ago today, a group of 12 @UAlbanyDAES students intercepted the Spencer, SD F4 tornado. We traded our video of the storm to the local CBS station for their damage survey footage. Both videos are staggering reminders of the awesome beauty and terrible power of nature.

Dr. Justin Minder and I are seeking a postdoc to perform research on the characteristics and predictability of rainfall events over the Catskill mountains that impact the NYC water supply.

See https://t.co/IjdXPlq7iU for more info.

Application deadline is May 9, 2025.

A statement from our department regarding the recent NOAA/NWS cuts.

Looking for ROI in hurricane forecast improvements? “These improvements imply an annual per-hurricane cost reduction of $700,000 per county, or $5 billion per hurricane”. https://t.co/NgDab1PBgs

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block.

The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US.

A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans.

Again, this isn't about efficiency.

We're hiring a Visiting Asst. Professor/Postdoctoral Associate in terrestrial water systems (sfc hydrology), or snow & ice processes, who will perform research under the supervision of a @UAlbanyDAES faculty member, with the goal of developing an independent research program.

[Xiaomin Chen @XiaominChen7]

🌀Our TCBL lab🌀is admitting a M.S. (or Ph.D.) student to study boundary layer winds and tornadoes of landfalling hurricanes in Fall 2025. Students with a strong passion for hurricane science and a strong background of programming/physics are particularly encouraged to apply.

@KellyGeigerWX Take care of yourself today, Kelly. 🫂

What can we learn from back-to-back monster hurricanes Helene and Milton? https://t.co/hRQ45WooVu

[Naoko Sakaeda @NSakaeda]

I am looking for a new graduate student to join my group in Fall 2025 to study coastal tropical convection! More information is here https://t.co/VSHduQY7VE

[Michael Fischer @MikeFischerWx]

I am happy to announce that I am actively looking for two PhD students to join my research group starting Fall 2025 at @MiamiRosenstiel! These positions are fully funded. Please see the slide for more info and feel free to reach out with any questions via email or DM here.

Hurricanes are more powerful than human technology.
“If meteorologists could stop hurricanes, we would stop hurricanes,” says @ProfCorbosiero. “If we could control the weather, we would not want the kind of death and destruction that’s happened.” https://t.co/0gyYdXU5O6

[Brian Tang @btangyWx]

Lightning enveloping the eyewall is typically a signature we only see in the most powerful hurricanes.

[UAlbany ATM/ENV Sci @UAlbanyDAES]

@JeremiahOtero 😨 Stay safe!

[UAlbany ATM/ENV Sci @UAlbanyDAES]

This fall, we welcomed our largest graduate student class to date of 26(!) students into our Atmospheric Science Master's and PhD, and Applied Master's in Atmospheric Science, programs (20 pictured below). Welcome new and continuing Great Danes!

[Reid Kisselback @Radar_Reid]

Here is our latest episode of What's On My Radar! This week's topic is fitting as we are now approaching the peak of the season: Hurricanes. Thank you to @ProfCorbosiero from @ualbany @UAlbanyDAES for taking the time to talk with me! @WNYT

Check it out, especially if you are looking for graduate student or postdoc opportunities! Let's learn together about the tropical atmosphere & how it is changing with the warming climate!😃⛈️🌀

[Dr. Kristen Corbosiero @ProfCorbosiero]

@MikeFischerWx Great advice from Brian. It's hard to say no when the manuscripts look interesting, but you can, and should, to prioritize your own work.

[Dr. Kristen Corbosiero @ProfCorbosiero]

@MikeFischerWx @MiamiRosenstiel @UMIDSC Congratulations, Michael! Very proud of you and all you've accomplished!
