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.
Findings has critical implications for predicting extreme weather events such as hurricanes and heavy rainfall
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.
Rosenstiel School scientist Paquita Zuidema is a principal investigator of a multi-agency team to investigate cold air outbreaks in the Arctic.
Paquita Zuidema honored for her contributions to atmospheric science research
Ben Kirtman, Professor of Atmospheric Sciences and the William R. Middelthon, III Endowed Chair of Earth Sciences at the Rosenstiel School has been elected a 2023 Fellow of the American Geophysical Union for his fundamental work on tropical climate dynamics and climate prediction on timescales from days to decades.
