AOS Colloquium Series - Brandon Wolding

Brandon Wolding is a research scientist at NOAA. His research interests include thermodynamic-convection coupling of tropical convection and tropical-extratropical interactions in present and future climates. In this talk, Dr. Wolding will discuss how an energy budget combining atmospheric moist static energy (MSE) and upper ocean heat content (OHC) is used to examine the processes impacting day-to-day convective variability in the tropical Indian and western Pacific oceans.
