The first three figures in my poster were recently published in GRL and can be read here: doi.org/10.1029/2025...
Improved Understanding of How Kinematic and Thermodynamic Environmental Changes Impact Modeled Overshooting Top Characteristics
Overshooting top area is well correlated (ρ = 0.6) to updraft core (UC) area for all three representative levels in the troposphere
Tropospheric kinematics are important to determining the area o...

I think this is the best we've had in CU! Truly stunning!

This substorm!!!! Definitely a rival to October 24

⛈️Increased static stability in the stratosphere decreases the depth of the OT. The vertical velocity of the updraft core from 8-12.5 km is equally correlated to OT depth.
Many thanks to my coauthors: @jefftrapp.bsky.social, @70dbz.bsky.social and Larry Di Girolamo for their support and advice!

I will try this, thank you! I've had difficulty going from Overleaf/Latex in the past but will try this!

Given the nature of the work and my desire for it not to be used as training data without my consent, I probably won't use these tools, but thank you for the response!

Also no AI tools please. I'm very very weary of my research/work being used as training data without my consent. I just need a way to compare two PDFs and track the changes.

Illinois ended the game with more yards of offense yesterday against Ohio State and limited them to 34 points when imo Ohio State easily could have scored at least 10 more.

It was a fantastic game, truly shocked that UCLA pulled it off
