Dynamical & Physical Meteorology Section






Overview

The Dynamical and Physical Meteorology (DPM) Section carries out basic and applied research on atmospheric phenomena spanning a wide range of scales. Using in-situ and remote-sensing observations as well as numerical models, DPM scientists are involved in studies of key microscale and mesoscale processes. Current topics of interest include mesoscale and cloud-scale dynamics, cloud and precipitation microphysics, impact of turbulence on cloud processes, turbulent dynamics of atmospheric and upper-ocean boundary layers, flows in canopies, dispersion and turbulence in the atmosphere, and wild fires. The overarching theme is the multiscale couplings among all these processes that need to be represented in weather and climate models.
