Jom first guess upgrade in min temp tool (jan 2015)James Brownlee
This is the final paper for the project that I collaborated on with William P. Roeder at the 45th Weather Squadron (45 WS). The goal of this project was to improve the minimum temperature predictions that are made by the 45 WS for space launch operations at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) and the Kennedy Space Center (KSC). At the end of this project, the minimum temperature predictions made by the 45 WS were significantly improved, and the 45 WS began using the new minimum temperature algorithm during the 2014/2015 winter season. This project was one major step aimed at improving the minimum temperature tool.
This is the final paper for our project in the Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations class. For this project, we had to apply different numerical schemes/algorithms to simulate a wave using the 2 dimensional advection equation. The goal of this project was to determine which numerical scheme was the most computationally stable or unstable, and to determine how this affected the simulation of a 2 dimensional wave.
