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
