Dissertation Research

For my dissertation, I developed and implemented the Prediction of Intensity Model Error (PRIME) for the National Hurricane Center intensity forecast guidance models. PRIME provides real-time forecasts of model error in the hope of giving end users a reliable expectation of forecast performance that depends on the situation and model.


During my PhD, I also validated a high-resolution WRF hurricane nature run for an Observing System Simulation Experiment (OSSE).
