CDC WONDER's privacy protections systematically hide data from the populations we most want to study—small, rural, and minority communities. This article quantifies the bias and offers practical strategies for researchers.

When standard FFT fails in noisy conditions, temporal projection using Fourier orthogonality provides a robust alternative for extracting wavelengths from spatio-temporal data. Learn how this matched filter technique outperforms 2D FFT by orders of magnitude.

Tracing the evolution of scientific inquiry from its philosophical roots to today's complex institutional landscape.

Explore how to characterize wave-like data using mathematical tools and visualization techniques, including the Hilbert transform, to extract key properties such as angular frequency and wavelength.

Exploring the invisible yet influential world of gravity waves in Earth's atmosphere, their mathematical underpinnings, and observational insights.

Explore the history and impact of the Howard University Program in Atmospheric Sciences (HUPAS), a pioneering initiative that transformed diversity in atmospheric sciences and paved the way for underrepresented students.
