    Through the Haze: Origin Story of the Eclipse (SAMF) Paper (Jessup and Enfinger, 2025)

    Through the Haze: Origin Story of the Eclipse (SAMF) Paper (Jessup and Enfinger, 2025)

    Introduction As I was growing up, it was the overwhelmingly large snowfall totals from several nor’easters that shaped my mental landscape about the weather. But while most meteorologists track their interest in weather to an impactful or severe weather event that affected them personally, for me, it was one time that it didn’t snow that… Continue reading

    Smoke Eclipse Study Unveils Proposed Subcritical Aerosol-Moisture Feedback (SAMF)

    Smoke Eclipse Study Unveils Proposed Subcritical Aerosol-Moisture Feedback (SAMF)

    Introduction In the recently-published article, “Effects of Smoke on Surface Observations, Turbulence, and Proposed Subcritical Aerosol-Moisture Feedback (SAMF) During the 8 April 2024 Solar Eclipse in Columbus, GA, USA”, my co-author and I present an analysis of how smoke from a prescribed burn modified surface meteorological observations and boundary-layer turbulence during the total solar eclipse🎵… Continue reading
