A Review of Extra-Tropical Cyclones: Observations And Conceptual Models Over The Past 100 Years
LOCATION
It is now just over 100 years since the publication of Jacob Bjerknes’ seminal 1919 paper ‘On the structure of moving cyclones’. The synoptic analysis methods developed in Bjerknes (1919) have been applied by national operational weather services worldwide, and the theoretical interpretation of cyclogenesis has led to much scientific research. Over the following century new observing systems and advances in computational capabilities have enabled scientific research which has greatly expanded and enriched our knowledge of extratropical cyclone structure and evolution. In this talk I will describe the work by Bjerknes (1919) and review the research into extratropical cyclones that has followed.
This will be a 45 minute talk followed by 15 minutes for Q&A. The meeting will open from 5:50 pm for attendees to join and the event will start promptly at 6 pm. Please register for the event on www.rmets.org and join the meeting using Zoom. Please note that joining instructions will not be provided unless you have registered.
Speaker
Prof. Helen Dacre, University of Reading
Helen Dacre is professor of dynamical meteorology at the University of Reading. Her research focuses on the development of extratropical cyclones, pollution transport through the atmosphere and volcanic ash dispersion. Her cyclone tracking algorithms are in widespread operational use and her volcanic ash dispersion model is central to the Met Office aviation safety forecasts. Helen's work on modelling and predicting the path of the Eyjafjallajökull volcanic ash plume was pivotal in the reopening of European airspace in a timely manner. Helen has previously represented Great Britain in water polo at the European, Commonwealth and World Championships.
