Scientific and Mathematical sites that I maintain:

• Three meteorology courses I teach at the University of Oklahoma:
  • METR 3113: Atmospheric Dynamics 1
  • METR 5223: Atmospheric Radiation
  • itmetr.net, online teaching of information technology skills for meteorology

• Energy and climate Summaries of my energy and climate seminars, and some other things.

• javascript animator, applied to fractals as an example

• A front end to the column radiation model

• resources for global-warming education, my "Well-Tempered Climate Theory" can be found here

• Some Mathematica Notebooks, from various courses I have taught.

• A few physlets that I have developed.

• An ancient LaTeX page. Although the page is ancient, a class file for writing an OU dissertation or thesis is stored here. The class file is up-to-date as of 21 April 2009.

Public software that I maintain:

• vplot, a vector graphics plotting utility written in python, output is in postscript

• simpleSVG, a better vector graphics plotting utility written in python, output is in SVG

• f90tohtml, a perl script to convert fortran source files into a hyperlinked web site

• neural network freeware, written in f90

Results of some of my science projects:

• An axisymmetric (two-dimensional) simulation of a tornado.

• A recent (2006) variation on the two-dimensional theme.

• A page showing 3-D numerical simulations of tornadoes with suction vortices.

• simulations of dust devils

• a neural network AMOS for SFO surface temperature

• statistical prediction of SFO summer burnoff

Other:

• liawiki My site for my Gradaute Liaison duties for the School of Meteorology.

• My reviews at amazon.com

• An art attack: OU, what you do to me...

• Alan Shapiro's recipe for Thai Coconut Shrimp.
