This atmospheric state can be described by various parameters, for example, the mean temperature, moisture content, and upper-level wind speeds (i.e. We will quantify how the atmospheric state that the low-pressure systems develop in affects the strength and structure of these low-pressure systems. The aim of this project is to understand what controls the strength and structure of these low-pressure systems. Some of this uncertainty is because our understanding of what controls the strength and impacts of these storms is incomplete.

Although the short-term weather forecasts of these storms are now quite accurate, it still remains uncertain how these storms, and their impacts, are likely to change in the future as our climate changes. Sometimes these weather systems can become very intense, and the winds and rain associated with them can cause damage to buildings and infrastructure, flooding, and can disrupt electricity supply and travel. Throughout the year, low-pressure systems regularly move across Europe, usually from west to east, bringing cloud, rain and windy weather. Institute for Atmospheric and Earth System Research, (actual project name - “Quantifying controls on the intensity, variability and impacts of extreme European STORMS”) STORMS: Investigating how low-pressure systems may change in the future New study going out to volunteer's machines This is an important step in identifying any signals that don't look like RFI. Participants will help identify and classify types of Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) seen in the data that they have taken at the Green Bank Telescope. Jean Luc Margot, a SETI Researcher at UCLA has started a Citizen Science project at UCLA.
