Have questions about tropical cyclone formation dynamics? Join us Wed (4/27), 8-11 pm EDT for a live Q&A with Dr. Allison Wing who is excited to talk about atmospheric sciences, extreme weather, and more (while playing Mario Kart 64). : meteorology

Wednesday night (4/27), 8-11 pm EDT, FSU professor and atmospheric scientist Dr. Allison Wing will be the guest on Ask_a_Scientist_Gaming.

Prof. Wing’s research group studies weather and climate, with specific interests in hurricanes and other types of tropical cloud/thunderstorm systems. The overarching theme of their research is how tropical clouds clump together, or organize, and how this modulates large-scale climate and leads to hurricane development. They use a range of tools to tackle these problems, including high-resolution numerical modeling and analysis of observations from satellites and hurricane hunter aircraft.
