The North American monsoon is a band of intense rainfall that stretches more than 1,000 km along Mexico's west coast and into the southwestern US, delivering crucial water supply to the semi-arid regions of Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado. This monsoon is a continental-scale atmospheric circulation that driven...

This project will use satellite data and a new network of hundreds of on-the-ground instrument stations to generate a risk dataset for farmers in equatorial Africa. Our research group studies the fluid dynamics of Earth's tropical atmosphere, focusing on the atmospheric waves and vortices that produce extreme rainfall...

The coupling of rainfall in Earth's tropics with atmospheric fluid dynamics is a vigorous area of research; it is also enormously consequential for many millions of people working in agriculture in Africa and Asia. In this project we will use theoretical atmospheric dynamics, large satellite datasets, and new AI weather...
