"Studying the past can potentially inform our understanding of what the future may hold," said Michael Mann, professor of meteorology, Penn State.
No longer relying on paper maps, the Penn State Department of Meteorology offers faculty an opportunity to use an electronic map wall for teaching that they can customize to meet their course needs.
The largest and most ambitious tornado study in history will begin next week, as dozens of scientists deploy radars and other ground-based instruments across the Great Plains to gain a better understanding of these often-deadly weather events.
Congratulations to Meteorology alumnus and 2006 Penn State Alumni Achievement Awardee, George Bryan ('96, '98, '03), who has won the American Meteorological Society's Banner I. Miller Award along with Rich Rotunno, Assistant Director, Mesoscale and Microscale Meteorology at NCAR.
Joel N. Myers, the founder, president and chairman of AccuWeather Inc. and current Penn State trustee and alumnus, has committed $2 million to help ensure Penn State’s continued international leadership in meteorology, University President Graham B. Spanier announced at the Board of Trustees meeting today (Sept. 11).
"Dennis and Joan Thomson, both Penn State faculty members since 1970, have long been known for their commitment to students."
"Mann, working with Jonathan D. Woodruff, assistant professor of geosciences, University of Massachusetts; Jeffrey P. Donnelly, associate scientist, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and Zhihua Zhang, postdoctoral assistant, Penn State, reconstructed the past 1,500 years of hurricanes using two independent methods. They report their results in the Aug. 13 issue of Nature."
Penn State Meteorology junior to present research findings at AGU Fall meeting.
It’s official. According to the National Weather Service in State College, the earliest local snowfall in recorded history has a new mark -- Oct. 15, 2009.
In new ranking of best and worst occupations in the U.S., meteorologist takes spot number 15.
Says climate scientist Michael Mann of Pennsylvania State University in State College: "Needless to say, there is a whole lot of skepticism about this among tropical meteorologists. But it's not so ridiculous that I would actually dismiss it out of hand. There is certainly an important role of upper ocean mixing on tropical cyclone behavior."
By Raymond Najjar. The fate of sinking particulate organic matter in the world ocean is a key source of uncertainty in the global carbon cycle. Model simulations suggest that atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations depend critically on the depths that these particles typically reach.
Kudos to meteorology senior, Drew Anderson, who delivered the ESPN Game Day forecast "live" for the Penn State vs. Iowa game.
