Welcome! I am a graduate student in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the University at Albany, where I am currently working on my masters under the advisement of Dr. Lance Bosart. I graduated from Valparaiso University in 2007 with a B.S. in Meteorology and a minor in Mathematics. My Masters research is on mesoscale convective complexes in the southwest United States. During June, July, and August, the southwest US receives the majority of its precipitation and severe weather. I will be using dynamic tropopause maps to see what role PV streamers have in creating these large and potentially destructive storms. |
