American Meteorological Society AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY Upon arrival at the summit of Mount Washington, New Hampshire (KMWN; 1,917 m MSL), however, they were greeted by winter: subfreezing temperatures, snow, rime ice, and hurricane-force winds It is the allure of the famed extreme weather conditions synonymous with Mount Washington and the desire to become intimately engaged in weather observation, forecasting, and research that attracts many of the 30–50 applicants for the summer internship positions offered each year (C.-M Briedé, 2013, personal communication with applicants) Through geoscience research opportunities, such as internships and research experiences for undergraduates, undergraduate students are able to learn the scientific process, develop their scientific research skills, develop methods to overcome obstacles, gain confidence as scientists, improve written and oral communication, and increase their chances of obtaining a graduate degree and employment in the geosciences (National Research Council 2000; Seymour et al 2004; Lopatto 2007; Thiry et al 2011) Part of MWO’s mission is to advance understanding of the natural systems that create Earth’s weather and climate through conducting research and educational programs, which include training new atmospheric scientists through MWO internships Every year, MWO offers unpaid seasonal internship

visitors; and performing original research projects Performing original research helps interns learn scientific theory, the process of advancing scientific knowledge, critical thinking, ways to overcome obstacles, and increases the probability that they will apply for graduate school (Seymour et al 2004; Eagan et al 2013) This paper articulates the responsibilities of MWO summer interns, the experience of the five 2013 summer interns, and evaluates the effectiveness of the internship program at achieving its goals ABOUT THE INTERNSHIPS Most applicants are atmospheric science undergraduate students or recent graduates, although students from a wide variety of disciplines such as computer science, physics, and other earth science backgrounds apply Interns are selected based on responses

Applications arrive from colleges and universities located across the United States (MWO currently does not accept foreign applicants) All MWO internships, including summer (May–August), fall (September– December), and winter (January–April), are unpaid, although food and lodging while interns are on the summit are provided The summer internship consists of about 7–8 weeks on the summit The interns work the same shifts as the full-time observers: ascend Mount Washington via the Mount Washington Auto Road on Wednesday morning for an 8-day shift on the summit and then descend the mountain the following Wednesday afternoon after the second group of observers and interns go up the mountain for their 8-day shift During off weeks, interns typically find local temporary housing for the summer or stay with a nearby relative or friend, while others live close enough to drive to and from home each week Some interns choose to find paid employment during their off weeks cold, thunderstorms, and winds well over 100 mph are possible and can occur with little forewarning Safety procedures and a thorough walkthrough of the Sherman Adams building are reviewed with all new interns upon their arrival INTERNSHIP ACTIVITIES Every summer, the internship activities designed by MWO are aimed to achieve the internship goals: learn how to observe and forecast mountain weather; develop data analysis and critical thinking skills through individual research projects; and live, work, and collaborate effectively with others at a remote mountain-top observatory Interns often join the observers on the observation deck (Fig 1) for the hourly observations to learn how to observe and measure weather variables, such as cloud type, cloud height (above and below summit), visibility using fixed landmarks, and other present weather conditions Interns learn the method of measuring the dry and wet-bulb temperatures using a sling psychrometer (Fig 2), the standard measurement method on the summit since 1932, and how to calculate the dewpoint temperature and relative humidity When rime or glaze ice occurs, interns assist in deicing the Pitot tube anemometer, wind vane, and other instruments mounted on top of the parapet (Fig 3) Back inside, observers and interns check the digital reading of wind speed and direction that are measured by the Pitot tube anemometer and wind vane located at the top of the parapet (Figs and 3) THE MOUNT WASHINGTON OBSERVATORY SUMMIT FACILITY MWO interns work alongside the observers in the New Hampshire owned and operated Sherman Adams building This summit building, a part of the Mount Washington State Park, contains public space that is open during the warm season (mid-May through early October, weather dependent) and private space that MWO leases from the state year-round The state constructed the building in 1980 with space specifically designed for MWO: living quarters, a living room, a full kitchen, working space, conference room, a parapet and deck space for instrumentation and research (Fig 1), and MWO’s Extreme Mount Washington museum Despite the many modern amenities available in the observatory, safety is the number one priority for interns and staff at this remote summit weather station Even in the summer, extreme conditions Fig Intern Matthew Cann on the observatory deck using a sling psychromsuch as snow,

analysis of these data resulted in a new maximum wind gust forecast tool that provides the maximum wind gust likely (based on the 98th percentile) for a given forecast sustained wind speed (Fig SB1) The use of this forecast tool to provide max wind gust forecasts became operational in MWO forecasts in 2014 O’Brien sought to characterize the evolution and structure of nocturnal boundary layers on clear and calm nights along the east slope of Mount Washington The 10 surface-based inversions during the spring and 11 inversions during the autumn months were identified from data collected on the observatory’s Auto Road vertical road profile (six mesonet stations) and the summit observatory when under clear skies and relatively light wind Inversions formed via rapid cooling of the air along the mountain slopes and once an inversion formed, the height of the inversion top did not vary much during the night The strength of the inversion generally became stronger through the night until sunrise The heights of the tops of 76% of the radiation inversions were found at about 1200 m MSL (Fig SB2), giving typical inversion depths of 710 m The inversion tops were found at about the same elevation as the lowest surrounding ridges, suggesting that the valley filled with radiatively cooled air (Doran et al 1990) Fall inversions are slightly deeper, likely because of the larger volume of air cooled during the longer nights Cann quantified the WRF Model forecast skill for a 24–25 February 2012 snowstorm in the White Mountain National Forest using the 18 MWO mesonet stations, Plymouth State University and New Hampshire Department of Transportation (DOT) weather stations, and other nearby Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS)/Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) weather stations The Advanced Research version of WRF (ARW) was run at 20-km horizontal resolution with two-way nested grids of 4- and 0.8-km resolution centered over the White Mountain National Forest Five

Kelsey and Director of Summit Operations Cyrena-Marie Briedé selected and advised five interns for the 2013 MWO summer internship program: Tom Padham (Pennsylvania State University, B.S 2012), Kaitlyn O’Brien (University of Oklahoma, B.S 2013), Matthew Cann (Plymouth State University, B.S 2014), Alex Carne (Valparaiso University, B.S 2015), and Luke Davis (McGill University, B.S 2015) They arrived at different stages in their atmospheric science education and with different skill sets These attributes were primarily used to assign their individual research projects Padham characterized and examined the variability of wind gust magnitude at the summit (T Padham and E Kelsey 2013, unpublished manuscript) Using 1-min average wind (Vˉ1 min) and 1-min max gust (Vmax) data for 2008–12, Padham organized the max gusts by their associated Vˉ1 wind speed in 10-mph bins (i.e., 10, 20, 30, , 110 mph) He then calculated mean gust factors (Vmax/Vˉ1 min; Davis and Newstein 1968; Merceret and Crawford 2010) for sustained wind speeds in each bin and further stratified the data by wind direction Results indicate that the local summit environment can be a dominant cause of gust variability: winds from the south and southwest have the highest mean gust factors (1.20–1.22) because of turbulence generated by upstream summit buildings Winds from the west and northwest have the lowest gust factors (1.10–1.12) because of the unobstructed exposure of the anemometer to west and northwest winds Last, a statistical 1536 | SEPTEMBER 2015 Unauthenticated | Downloaded 02/21/22 09:27 PM UTC and Morrison double-moment microphysics scheme members run with the Yonsei University boundary layer scheme produced the most accurate 2-m temperature [mean absolute error (MAE) = 0.89–0.93] and 2-m relative humidity (MAE = 8.89–9.22) Wind speed was overforecast by an average of 2.42 m s−1 at all stations with the exception of Mount Washington, which was underforecast by 17.82 m s−1, suggesting overmixing of the boundary layer by the boundary layer scheme, especially during nighttime (Hu et al 2010; Draxl et al 2014) The Morrison double-moment microphysics Fig SB2 Height (m MSL) of radiation

conditions and discusses if and how the forecast could be improved Finally, interns record their refined forecast to be aired on a local radio station During the 2013 summer internships, each intern was assigned a research question and tasked to perform original research over the course of the summer to address the question They were asked to write a scientific research paper summarizing motivation, methods, results, and conclusions by the end of their internship and present their results during a summit 1538 | meeting at the end of the internships These research projects were chosen and assigned by the Director of Research Dr Eric Kelsey and the Director of Summit Operations Cyrena-Marie Briedé and relate to local atmospheric and/or environmental phenomena (see the "Intern research" sidebar that describes each intern project and their results) The practice of many research skills were emphasized: practicing the scientific method, developing computer software skills, practicing data acquisition and quality assurance, analyzing datasets, thinking critically, and gaining experience presenting scientific research to an audience To maximize the likelihood that each intern would produce meaningful research results, the incoming skill sets, meteorological interests, and education level of the interns were used to assign their projects Indeed, all interns were able to complete SEPTEMBER 2015 Unauthenticated | Downloaded 02/21/22 09:27 PM UTC their objectives that they set early in the internships and each produced meaningful results (see the sidebar) To begin

these activities and research, interns could explore the miles of trails winding around the Presidential Mountain Range The variety of work that interns performed (Fig 4) allowed them to learn a broad range of mechanical, technical, and social skills After the state park closed to visitors in the evening, all staff at the summit gathered for dinner prepared by the MWO summit volunteers Dinner time was an important time to share stories from the day, discuss problems that arose, debate strategies to resolve them, and reflect on living and working in a remote environment where the weather is constantly changing, inspiring, and exhilarating Dinner time and the other collaborative projects are important activities for the team of MWO staff, interns, and volunteers to develop camaraderie and

Four out of the five interns completed and returned the survey Overall, the results indicate that the goals SEPTEMBER 2015 Unauthenticated | Downloaded 02/21/22 09:27 PM UTC Fig Intern Kaitlyn O’Brien presents her research to the summit staff and interns at the conclusion of her internship in the summit conference room of the internship were met and achieved effectively The quantitative responses for questions 1–5 were all fours (even a few fives) with only one three (still a positive response) For question 1, interns found that frequent shadowing of the observers taking hourly observations during a variety of weather conditions, day and night, was highly effective Interns were able to ask questions and practice some observational methods, such as using the sling psychrometer (Fig 2), taking rain and snowfall observations, measuring visibility using known landmarks, describing cloud types, and estimating sky cover One intern noted the “vast knowledge” learned about aviation routine weather reports (METARs) when the observers translated the observations into METAR code For question 2, interns learned a lot from the process of creating their own forecasts and recording them for radio stations One intern noted that creating forecasts “offered a sense of confidence as a meteorologist.” All four responses highlighted the value of discussing their forecasts with an on-staff meteorologist (at least one of the three observers on each shift has a bachelor’s degree in meteorology) One intern suggested more frequent discussions with the staff meteorologist and other opportunities to learn more about mountain weather forecasting The types of research projects varied for each intern (see the sidebar), which is reflected in the AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY responses for question Interns learned “a lot” about literature review, data analysis, quality assurance, data analysis, and how to use the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model One intern learned how to use MySQL and thought the research project allowed the application of knowledge gained in the classroom to the weather occurring on the mountain Two responses recommend that more guidance on data analysis be provided One intern felt the internship did not provide enough time to work on the research project During informal conversation during weekly research meetings, the interns mentioned the structure of researching every other week for only 7–8 weeks is a time limitation that challenged them Interns mentioned the week-long break in between shifts broke their momentum at times but, overall, did not result in any serious challenges For question 4, all interns felt they regularly applied critical thinking skills throughout the research project One intern was “happy” that the assigned project was relatively open-ended because it gave “freedom to pursue how” to perform the research Another intern felt the weekly group meetings and independent work were beneficial to the development of critical thinking skills and suggested longer meetings and/or more frequent meetings would be beneficial One response stated that sharing ideas and methods during the group meetings stimulated new ideas for their own research SEPTEMBER 2015 | 1541 Unauthenticated | Downloaded 02/21/22 09:27 PM UTC Regarding question 5, all interns commented positively about the development of community among the interns, observers, and volunteers One intern expressed that the sharing of common goals and frequent collaborative work was a key catalyst for the development of community Another intern commented that the internship allowed significant growth on “an interpersonal level.” For question 6, all interns learned a wealth of information about the history of MWO and the mountain by giving observatory tours Three interns mentioned some degree of enjoyment, and the other two interns did not offer comments on how they felt giving tours Other benefits that were mentioned include gaining experience and confidence with public speaking, engaging with other weather enthusiasts and supporters of the observatory, and being inspired to learn more about the history of Mount Washington Two interns noted that productivity of other work was reduced during busy days when they gave several tours Last, all four responses to question noted positive impacts on their career and/or decision to go to graduate school The internship provided a new perspective on meteorology careers for one intern who still had two more years in his college program For another intern, it reinforced a tentative decision to apply for graduate school during the fall of 2013; the internship taught the intern something “completely new about meteorology” and that graduate school is needed to “improve understanding of meteorology” and research skills INTERNSHIP CONCLUSIONS The MWO internship format of learning from human weather observers how to observe, measure, and document a wide variety of atmospheric variables, combined with weather forecasting, public speaking, instrument maintenance, and scientific research provided a unique, comprehensive meteorology internship opportunity for aspiring atmospheric scientists Closely working with observers on a variety of scientific, technical, and mechanical tasks helped build community and trust, which is essential to be an effective team member Receiving intern survey responses elicited valuable input, identifying aspects of the program that were effective and those that can be made even better The dominantly positive survey responses indicate that the goals of the MWO summer internship program were achieved Interns gained or improved several career skills through experiential learning, including weather observing, weather forecasting in complex terrain, the scientific process, data analysis, 1542 | critical thinking, public speaking, presenting scientific information, and working collaboratively The successful development of these skills and exceptional work by two interns resulted in their hiring as full-time paid observers when they applied for new observer positions during the subsequent months One intern was hired less than one month after the end of the internship when an observer position opened The other intern worked for a private meteorological company in Oklahoma before being hired as a MWO observer in March 2014 It is relatively common for former interns to be hired at MWO as full-time observers because of their high familiarity with the job and known ability to work collaboratively on a remote mountain summit for a week at a time; a majority of observers hired over the past decade were previously interns As previously mentioned, one intern’s decision to apply for graduate school was solidified as a result of the internship experience and is currently a graduate student at Plymouth State University with Kelsey as his advisor The other two interns recently graduated from their respective undergraduate meteorology programs The interns were pleased with the internship program, and they offered some suggestions to make it even better in the future Many suggestions related to wanting to spend more time with MWO staff to discuss mountain weather forecasting and their research projects The survey responses and informal conversations with the interns emphasize the importance of research meetings to generate new ideas, receive multiple perspectives and critiques, and practice presenting research results Simple logistical changes to the meeting times can alleviate these research concerns Increased time with MWO staff would be especially beneficial for the interns who are early in their college education To better communicate the large knowledge base about mountain meteorology held by the observers, documenting this knowledge for interns to read or formally presenting this knowledge to the interns are methods that can provide more forecasting tools to interns early in their internships In addition, offering pathways for continuing their research (e.g., a laptop and/or office space with other MWO employees at the Weather Discovery Center in North Conway, New Hampshire) during their off weeks may help continue the momentum they build during their weeks at the summit These improvements will be implemented and evaluated during future summer internship programs at MWO ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors would like to express their gratitude to the three anonymous reviewers who provided comments that significantly improved the SEPTEMBER 2015 Unauthenticated
