Clayson Lab

I have created a Matlab toolbox that would be useful for anyone who wants to perform EOF, wavelet, and other statistical analyses using Matlab. The toolbox can be found here.

In order to run the wavelet tools in the toolbox, another file is needed. That file can be found here.

A complete description of all the tools in the Matlab toolbox can be found here.

Additional Notes:

1. Matrix tools require that the data is in a particular format. That format is denoted in the help of each function.

2. Any errors in the tools or suggestions for improvement of tools should be forwarded to Jeremiah Brown at jbrown@gfdi.fsu.edu.

The following is a list of papers that I have completed for various classes:

Dynamics 2: Beta-Plane Modeling

Tropical Meteorology 2: Influences on Hurricanes near the Hawaiian Islands

Atmospheric Chemistry: Review of Various Methods of Measuring Methane and Nitrous Oxide Fluxes

Mid-Latitude Systems: Extratropical Transition of Hurricane Hazel

I am currently investigating the effects of diurnal sea-surface temperature warming on the planetary boundary layer and the resultant feebacks within the atmosphere. Here is a short list of some of my completed research and conference materials:

Diurnal Sea-Surface Temperature Variability and the Effects on Surface Fluxes and the Atmosphere

American Meteorological Society (AMS) Conference Abstract

AMS Conference Powerpoint Presentation
