Atmospheric Dynamics & Pressure System Modeling Unit
Modeling atmospheric dynamics and pressure systems to advance weather prediction and climate understanding.
Unit Mission
The Atmospheric Dynamics & Pressure System Modeling Unit models atmospheric dynamics and pressure systems — developing and applying numerical models of atmospheric circulation, pressure system evolution, and weather pattern dynamics to advance weather prediction and climate understanding. The unit applies dynamic meteorology, computational fluid dynamics, and climate science to model the large-scale atmospheric processes that determine weather patterns, drive extreme events, and shape climate variability.
Key Functions
Circulation Modeling
Modeling atmospheric circulation and pressure system dynamics — developing and applying numerical models that simulate the large-scale atmospheric processes determining weather patterns and climate variability.
Ensemble Forecasting
Developing ensemble forecast systems — generating probabilistic weather forecasts that quantify forecast uncertainty and provide the probability information needed for risk-based decision-making.
Climate Variability
Researching climate variability and its impacts on weather extremes — analyzing the relationships between large-scale climate modes and extreme weather frequency to improve seasonal forecasting and climate risk assessment.
