A living research notebook for methods, figure development, literature notes, and project documentation.
Research documentation
Methods
Technical documentation for analysis workflows, correction methods, validation logic, and physical interpretation.
Results
Working interpretations, composite analyses, and emerging physical conclusions.
Literature
Paper walkthroughs, method notes, and conceptual background.
Current project status
| Area | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Storm-relative composites | 🟡 Active | Refining physical interpretation and advisor-facing documentation |
| Doppler correction | 🟢 Stable | Method mostly established; remaining work is presentation and validation |
| Track validation | 🟢 Stable | Useful enough for buoy-relative diagnostics |
| Two-sheet hypothesis | 🟡 Exploratory | Interesting but mixed across storms |
| Figure development | 🟡 Active | Prioritizing clear, defensible conference figures |
