As it says on my about page, I spend a lot of time dealing with meteorology and climatology. For my research I am working with Dr. Frederick Semazzi who runs the climate research lab at NCSU. You can take a look at what they're working on here: NCSU Climlab Here are some presentations, a Maple worksheet, and a term paper that I have written for class: A presentation of a 1980 paper by Gill A presentation of a 1976 paper on chaotic systems by Lorenz A presentation of my MEA593e term paper The Maple worksheet contatining data for my MEA593e term paper My MEA593e term paper in star office format Check your weather forecast at Accuweather. They have lots of maps and historical conditions and other useful things that you can't get from weather.com. If you are taking a cue from my father (good west coast native that he is) and panicking because there's a tropical storm or hurricane threatening North Carolina, please observe the following procedure: Stop panicking! Calm down. Think for a moment and remember that I live 200 miles inland. Take heart that as I write this, category two Hurricane Alex is vacationing at the Outer Banks, yet it is warm and sunny here with a light breeze and fluffy clouds. Go look at Weather Underground's tropical storm section and see what's really going on. The news media are full of hype. The sattelite map is very telling, but keep in mind that while anywhere with bright clouds may be getting water dumped on them, the dangerously strong winds are only in the middle. Hopefully that middle isn't near Raleigh. Alex vacationing at the Outer Banks at 15:40 EDT on 3 August 2004 Updated 3 August 2004
