Academic Achievements
- Her research products support the improvement and evaluation of earth system prediction models, diagnostic nowcasting tools, operational datasets used to monitor the ocean and atmosphere, and our fundamental understanding of the coupled ocean-atmosphere earth system.
Research Experience
- Position: Research Meteorologist, affiliated with NOAA. Research activities include studies on precipitation and cloud microphysics, ocean waves, air-sea fluxes, boundary layer turbulence, and stability. Additionally, she has developed algorithms for predicting near-surface ocean stability, estimating precipitation rate from radar, and classifying precipitation type in clouds with radar.
Education
- Ph.D., Atmospheric Science, Colorado State University, 2016; M.S., Atmospheric Science, Colorado State University, 2012; B.S., Meteorology, Valparaiso University, 2010.
Background
- Research Interests: Coupled air-sea interaction processes, atmospheric and oceanic boundary layers, precipitation and clouds, radar and satellite meteorology, physical meteorology across scales, physical oceanography. Professional Field: Collects and analyzes measurements of the ocean, air-sea fluxes, and atmosphere to understand the co-evolution of atmospheric and oceanic boundary layers as well as processes related to precipitation and clouds.
