Atmospheric Dynamics

I regularly teach the core introductory course on Atmospheric Dynamics.

Advanced Atmospheric Dynamics

A plot of a Rossby wave

Every two years or so I teach a graduate level seminar on Atmospheric Dynamics

Synoptic Meteorology Notebooks

A map of upper level winds and geopotential heights

I developed a set of jupyter notebooks that are now part of the synoptic meteorology course

Reasoning with Uncertainty

A diagram of forecast error growth in a chaotic dynamical system.

In spring of 2025 I taught a seminar about the many ways that uncertainty comes up in weather and climate.
