After a few days of traveling and getting things settled, I have finally found myself down in Cape Canaveral just a few miles south of the Kennedy Space Center. I’ll be spending the next 10 weeks doing research for the Convective Wind project. I just hope the sun won’t kill me down here. For pics of the place, go here.
Onto some weather related news. A gentelman over at Weather Graphics has provided a very extensive report of the weather conditions prior to and during the onset of crash. Thanks to my Florida roomate Mitch for showing me this.

Hey guys Happy Hurricane Season (i know im a day off…oh well)
Well after two weeks of rest and re-arranging things up at School, it’s time to leave New England once again and head to a distant state. This time it’s down south to the sunny state of Florida. I will be working at Cape Canaveral and working on my thesis research. It’ll consist of using radar data (WSR-88D and hopefully polarimetric) to forecast for convective winds at the Kennedy Space Center Complex.
Hopefully by the end of the summer I’ll have much of my thesis written, and when I come back to New England I’ll be almost done with my masters. I will try my best to keep everyone updated on my work, whether it’s here or on my social networking sites.
Speaking of that, you can follow my trip to Florida over the next 48 hours by following me on my Twitter Account!
IT’S OVER!
The second semester of my graduate career is over! It feels pretty good to have one year of graduate school completed, and knowing that in one year I’ll receive my masters degree is both exciting and scary!
I have a couple of weeks to relax, move out of my apartment and prepare for my trip to Florida. I will be leaving for Florida on June 3rd and hope to be down there by June 4th. My first day at Cape Canaveral is June 8th, and that’s when I will begin my thesis research.
If any of you would like to see some of the work I have done, see the links below. I will be updating my website tomorrow to add these projects (and remove the weather lab link as I don’t have to do that again! 
).
Radar Meteorology Project: Updating some results from Andrew Loconto’s Thesis. He created a radar gust equation for the Cape Canaveral Area to forecast for the speed of wind gusts. I validated this equation across the US and suggested new equations.
Advanced Stats Project: Using a 13-Year Dataset, my colleague and I found ways to determine a convective event at Cape Canaveral using many different Statistical projects.
Also I would like to announce that I have finally joined the twitter network. I find it just as good as plurk. Plus a lot of more famous people are on it (Like the weather channel and Boston’s NBC cheif meteorologist Pete Bouchard). You can follow me here
Hey guys
So after a fast summer, I am back in Plymouth for Graduate School. Sorry for not posting in a while. Things just have been going crazy. Hopefully more posts will come once school starts next week
Well after four long (yet so quick) years of hard work, I have received my undergraduate degree in Meteorology at Plymouth State. I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a GPA of what should become 3.59. I am really excited that it is over, but I am more excited for graduate school.
However I will be back home working at Tufts University for the next three months. My free time will let me post a lot more in this blog, so check back very soon!
