Connell Miller

You can now find me (and @westernuNMP) over at Bluesky!

If you had told me six months ago that I would be leading an education-focused paper, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. However, this paper turned out to be a great opportunity to highlight the success of the CSSL Internship Program and its impact on undergraduate students.

I'm excited to share that my latest paper focused on the internship program at the Canadian Severe Storms Laboratory is now available as an early online release in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society! doi.org/10.1175/BAMS-D…

This week, we’re joined by Dr. @ConnellMiller, whose research with @westernuCSSL explores how satellite data can be used to detect and measure tornado damage from space! 🌪️🧐 LISTEN NOW 👉 linktr.ee/WeatherGeeks

If you haven't already, you can check out the Canadian Mesonet Portal here: meso.cssl.ca

Big update 🚀 We’ve launched the Pro Version of the Canadian Mesonet Portal, along with major improvements across all versions of the platform! Pro Version features will continue rolling out gradually throughout the month, so keep an eye out! Details: uwo.ca/nmp/news/2026/…

We are currently implementing a large update to the Canadian Mesonet Portal (meso.cssl.ca), which will result in data being temporarily unavailable for the next 24 hours. Please be patient with us as we work to make the site even better!

The Northern Mesonet Project at the Canadian Severe Storms Laboratory is looking for a Research Software Engineer to join our team! Please feel free to share with anyone who may be interested! You can find the details of the position (ID# 41923) here: uwo.ca/hr/working/sta…

Some unexpected lightning and hail today in NE London! #onstorm #onwx

@laurapowerwx @weathernetwork Sure.

@ConnellMiller Hi there! Crazy weather tonight! I was wondering if you'd allow the @weathernetwork to share this video with on-screen credit to you? Thanks!

🌪️A radar technique has been applied to study tornado tracks in forested areas for the first time by @WesternU Earth Sci prof Catherine Neish + co-authors Sophia Slabon + Connell Miller at the Canadian Severe Storms Lab. 🔗#abstract" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

A small update from meso.cssl.ca: we have updated our watches / warnings displayer to match the new colour-coded weather alert system used by Environment Canada. You can find more information on the new system here: canada.ca/en/services/en…

Dive into real-world research and fieldwork with the CSSL Summer Internship Program! Learn more and apply here: uwo.ca/cssl/internshi… Don't miss your chance to gain hands-on experience with leading tornado and hail experts in the field. Applications close on January 26th.

These papers highlight complementary remote sensing approaches that can help improve spatial coverage and consistency of tornado intensity assessments. Grateful for CSSL (cssl.ca) team who made these studies possible!

"Evaluating the Utility of NDVI as a Damage Indicator for Crops in the Enhanced Fujita Scale" tests how NDVI can be used to identify crop damage from tornadoes, describes limitations, and shows how it can supplement ground surveys in agricultural areas (doi.org/10.1175/JAMC-D…).

I'm happy to share two new open-access remote sensing papers that are both related to alternative methods of classifying tornado damage! 🧵:

Last night on the show we talked with Dr. @ConnellMiller about the EF5 tornado in Enderlin, North Dakota back in June. @weatherchannel @mikebettes @TWCAlexWilson Here's the full interview:

Good afternoon, everyone! I just released my video discussing the upgrade of the Enderlin, ND EF5 tornado on June 20th, 2025. The video takes an in-depth look at the EF5 DIs and other damage. Hope you enjoy watching! Video link in the replies ⬇️

The @westernuCSSL /@westernuNTP assisted @NWSGrandForks with their upgrading of the official rating of the June 2025 Enderlin, ND tornado from EF3 to EF5. Official details here: uwo.ca/ntp/blog/2025/… Photo: @brianemfinger #NDWx #EF5 #Enderlin #Tornado
