Earlier this spring, AOS Prof. Ángel F. Adames Corraliza, PhD received a Vilas Faculty Early Career Investigator Award. This prestigious award recognizes research and teaching excellence and provides flexible research funding for 3 years. Congrats and well deserved, Ángel! news.wisc.edu/32-faculty-hon…

¡La próxima reunión anual #AGU2023 tendrá una sesión sobre la hidroclimatología de México, Centroamérica y el Caribe! Si les interesa la sesión o conocen a alguien interesado, acá el link para mandar resumen: agu.confex.com/agu/fm23/preli… RT, hoy por mí, mañana por mí también.

I have two open graduate research assistantships on large-scale tropical meteorology for Fall 2024! More information about the projects and our admission process is here (nsakaeda.oucreate.com/open-gra-posit……). Feel free to email me with any questions!

I’m beyond excited to share this manuscript just posted to Early Online Release. This review article took several years from vision to draft to acceptance. It was truly a team effort. We hope it’s going to be helpful to the community! journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/…

We are now accepting applications for the 2024 STORM REU! Apply by 2/15/24. More info at sites.google.com/wisc.edu/storm

Hi everyone! Please share far and wide about our event at #AGU23 for Caribbean peoples (and allies)! Let's celebrate our communities and who we are! It's on Thursday at 7 pm !

(1) My recent PhD Haochang Luo's paper "Barotropic and Moisture–Vortex Growth of Monsoon Low Pressure Systems (MLPSs)" is out. We examine the structure, MSE, and kinetic energy budgets of MLPSs. Growth is consistent with processes in the title. See more: doi.org/10.1175/JAS-D-…

And that's what a current weather/climate model looks like (in this case, the model is NSF NCAR Mesoscale & Microscale Meteorology's MPAS-A):

Finally in press! Victor C. Mayta and I show via theory that horizontal moistures gradients are always unstable. Unstable waves weaken the Hadley cell. doi.org/10.1175/JCLI-D…

New paper in Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences: Zheng, T., Ye, Z., Singh, A., Desai, A. R., Krishnayya, N. S. R., Dave, M. G., & Phil Townsend (2024). Variability in forest plant traits along the Western Ghats of India and their environmental drivers at different resolutions. doi.org/10.1029/2023JG…

It may be #PiDay, but this imagery of Earth takes the cake! 🥧🎂 But seriously, NOAA scientists use pi (π) to calculate satellite orbits, the rotation of Earth, distances in space, analyze satellite data, and more!
