The goal of our research is to improve understanding and prediction of high-impact weather events. We strive to utilize observations, theory, and numerical models in attaining this goal. In recent years, we have studied extratropical and tropical cyclones, organized convection, winter storms, heavy precipitation events, and topographically forced flows. We seek to improve short-term prediction of these phenomena through enhanced understanding of the physical mechanisms responsible for their evolution, and optimization of process representation in numerical weather prediction models. The question of how longer-term climate change might affect the frequency and severity of high-impact events is another topic of our ongoing investigation.
