Analysis of the thermodynamics and dynamics of tropical mesoscale convective systems
Mangini-Hall, Rebecca L. (University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2024)Satellite data combined with a reanalysis product is used to identify the thermodynamic and dynamic controls that govern mesoscale convective systems (MCSs). Composites are made of MCSs occurring within the tropics (30ºS ... -
Changes in clouds over the four decades using PATMOS-xv6.0: Radiative effects and controlling factors
Seo, Jongjin (University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2025)Satellite-based global cloud data records are crucial for understanding the impact of regional weather changes and global climate variations due to the direct and indirect radiative forcing of clouds. In this dissertation, ... -
Deep learning for thunderstorm nowcasting using satellite and radar observations
Ortland, Stephanie M. (University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2024)The current scientific understanding of convection from a geostationary satellite and ground-based radar perspective is used to inform the development and evaluation of a deep learning model (called ThunderCast) for ... -
A different peat perspective: Quantifying tropical peatland ecosystem variables from the ground and from space
Koupaei Abyazani, Nikaan (University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2025)Peatlands are ecosystems that store immense amounts of carbon in their soil and therefore play a critical role in the global carbon cycle. However, due to climate change and anthropogenic disturbance, these ecosystems are ... -
Evaluating near-storm environmental moisture relative to tropical deep convection growth using CPEX-CV airborne data
Martinez, Giselle (University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2024)Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) associated with African easterly waves (AEWs) that propagate and intensify over the tropical East Atlantic may serve as precursors for tropical cyclones. Previous studies utilizing ... -
Governing thermodynamic ttructure of Tropical East Pacific and African Easterly Waves and their representation in CMIP6 models
Vargas Martes, Rosa M. (University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2024)Easterly Waves (EWs) are convectively coupled systems of alternating high and low pressure that propagate westward in the Tropics with a period of 3-6 days and horizontal scale of ∼3000 km. They are most commonly observed ... -
Invisible Threads: How Jet Stream Shifts areAmplifying Clear Air Turbulence in U.S.Aviation (1980 - 2023)
Rodríguez Nazario, Idamis E. (University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2025)Over the last 10 years, there has been a noticeable increase in Clear Air Turbulence (CAT)incidents reported by commercial airlines, including several recent accidents that have resulted in passenger injuries. This trend ...
