I wish the board and admin office of UNL would address these, but every time the question is posed, they throw back the dollar sign with a big number on the savings. It hurts to see that knowing the value behind everything else that is not readily visible.

Yes, I really do think there would actually be quite a bit gained if you combined the SNR and EAS resources, but you have to keep the people to maintain that value and enhance it.

Yes. EAS, altogether with its combined resources, most importantly the people, is a classic example of the total sum being augmented beyond the simple addition of all its individual components. There will be much less value if fragmented throughout the university.

this will expand much beyond UNL. I hope the board carefully reviews the APC findings and realizes the tremendous losses this will cause.
The statement says that courses for federal requirements will remain. But, I have no idea how this happens with the complete elimination of the program.

That makes sense. Good use of MESH and why MESH is still a good parameter to have.

and the background environment (I know there is some stuff out there already), it could make for a very useful GR2 user defined placefile.

latent. By the time you see a signal in MESH, the hail is probably already happening. A PAR network with 60-90 second full volume scans would probably be needed to make MESH useful in real-time warnings ops. One potential avenue, is if we can find a robust relationship between radar signatures

Others have noted that MESH can often struggle in high shear environments, which might align with your note on Spring and Fall season where you likely have stronger mid and upper level flow.
MESH is a great review and research tool. Right now, with the current 88D network, its data flow is too

similar ZDR/KDP, but one produced softballs, and one only produced golf balls. Then, see if the background environments could tell the story better despite similar radar signatures.

A sounding archive similar to the tornado one may compliment this well. Particularly, understanding the CAPE below and above the freezing layer, estimate of SR flow. Then, relate that to dBz and other dual-pol observations. This can then provide context to why two storms had 70 dBz up yo 45kft and

I make a good effort to comment my code. But it is amazing that if I get side tracked for a few weeks, my return to that code I can't figure out at all what my line of thinking was.

@stormscale.io @kentuckyweather.bsky.social Curved on the new build is great. Having the middle of the monitor unimpeded makes up for the lower amount of screen real estate. Thanks for the input again!

I did it back in February. All my HWT experiences have been good. The PAR is the one that my decisions and thought process were substantially improved.

What is the webinar experience like with respect to screen sharing? Do you share a window instead of full screen?

Any drawbacks?
I am leaning curved monitor. I like that it's less head movement, and when I roll back, I can see everything better (probably because there is no gap).

I've had terrible luck with smoke detectors that wirelessly communicate with each other. Any time we had lightning nearby they went off, and if we ran the microwave too long they also went off (no smoke from microwave).

This is awesome to see Kelton. Thank you for your efforts on this. I see this becoming very valuable! Wish I knew more about coding to contribute.

We can already see segments developing RIJ features, and strengthening cold pools with cell mergers help to increase vertical pressure perturbation gradients. Even if not a derecho, this can still be a high impact wind MCS, bow echo, maybe LEWP?
