Master the art of presenting in SO441 with these key tips focused on technical accuracy and effective use of graphics. Utilize weather charts, satellite images, and upper-air soundings created by you to build a compelling narrative. Ensure every graphic is analyzed in detail and properly cited if not your original work. Leverage QG theory and upper-level steering currents to connect precipitation to underlying meteorological processes. Remember, clarity is crucial—simplify your presentation by focusing on key features and avoid overcrowding slides with unnecessary information.

Transcription de la présentation

  1. SO441 Presentation Tips • Be as technical as possible • Use the tools presented in this course • Weather charts, satellite images, upper-air soundings • A good presentation will be 75-80% based on these graphics (created by you not by the NWS meteorologist whose case study you found online and decided to co-opt to be your SO441 presentation) • Every graphic you present that you do not create must have a citation! • Use the concepts presented in the course liberally • QG theory • If there is precipitation, there’s a good bet it is (at least in some way) connected to QG theory • Cyclogenesis • If a low pressure center strengthened, then talk about why! Use the theory presented in the course notes • Upper-levels projecting onto the surface • TC motion and thunderstorm motion are due to upper-level steering currents. Pick a level and show them if they’re important to your event. • Upper-level trough moving over a surface front incudes cyclogenesis which leads to temperature advection which causes precipitation: show this! • But: if you haven’t learned it from me this semester, be very careful using it, because it might not be true • Example: “Warm air collided with cold air to produce weather.” Be more specific! Furthermore, what do you mean by “weather”?

  2. Better choice: presents lots of surface information and some analysis Not a very strong graphic

  3. SO441 Presentation Tips • Less is more • Each chart/image you present must be analyzed in detail • Do not aim to throw up dozens of images in the hope that we will glean a message from them • Rather take several levels (surface, 850, 700, 500) and carefully point out the salient features • Use multiple layers (station model + contours, or wind barbs & contours, etc.) • You probably do not need to go backward in time more than about 36-48 hrs. Don’t just add graphics to fill your 10-min window. Every image you show must be part of the overall story. • Annotate slides clearly using PPT tools. We should not have to squint to read the graphics. If you can’t make it legible, don’t include it
