Investigating the genesis of hurricanes
Quinton Lawton, a recent Ph.D. graduate of the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science, studies the way in which Kelvin waves can influence the formation of tropical cyclones.
New study provides enhanced understanding of tropical atmospheric waves
Findings has critical implications for predicting extreme weather events such as hurricanes and heavy rainfall
Demystifying the complex nature of Arctic clouds
A team of University of Miami scientists and others recently spent weeks in the Arctic region studying marine cold-air outbreaks and how the clouds they produce can lead to extreme weather events and may be interacting with the rapidly warming Arctic.
Flying into the cold unknown
