Michael Mann, a professor of atmospheric science at Penn State University, tells Inverse increased analysis is only the beginning.
“This was an extremely terrible scenario for a landfalling hurricane,” said Anthony Didlake Jr., an assistant professor of meteorology at Penn State.
Our atmosphere behaves like a fluid, changing its flow and direction when it runs into an obstacle.
Using a new approach developed at Penn State’s Center for Advanced Data Assimilation and Predictability Techniques, researchers were better able to predict models for forecasting Hurricane Harvey.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — IBM will donate a system based on the technology in the world’s most powerful supercomputers
What's the ultimate limit at which we can predict day-to-day weather in the future," said Fuqing Zhang, distinguished professor of meteorology and atmospheric science.
Harnessing the power of artificial intelligence
The North Atlantic warming hole (NAWH). "It's called a hole because there is a lack of warming," said Melissa Gervais, assistant professor of meteorology and atmospheric science, Penn State
Dr. Michael Mann is recognized among the top 20.
Last month, as much of the United States shivered in arctic cold, weather models predicted a seemingly implausible surge of balmy, springlike warmth. A week later, that unlikely forecast came true.
Dr. Fuqing Zhang, is among the University's 2019 distinguished professors.
Michael Mann, distinguished professor of atmospheric science, Penn State, has been awarded the 2019 Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement.
For 60 years atmospheric scientist Warren M. Washington has conducted groundbreaking climate modeling—and launched brilliant careers.
Michael E. Mann received the Climate Communication Prize at the 2018 AGU Fall Meeting Honors Ceremony.
Jon Nese, associate head of the undergraduate program in meteorology and teaching professor in meteorology, joins seven sitting faculty into the Schreyer Honors College Distinguished Honors Faculty Program (DHFP).
Paul Markowski, professor and associate head for the graduate program in Penn State’s Department of Meteorology and Atmospheric Science, was elected as a Fellow of the American Meteorological Society (AMS).
David Stensrud, head, Penn State's Department of Meteorology and Atmospheric Science, was awarded the Charles Franklin Brooks Award for Outstanding Service to Society.
Penn State researchers were among a team of international scientists whose work on a new climate assessment of North America provides a better understanding of the carbon cycle.
Professor Zhang was selected as a Fellow “for fundamental understanding of multiscale predictability and dynamics and for breakthroughs in hurricane prediction through ensemble data assimilation.”
Greg Forbes, a severe weather expert for The Weather Channel, found a familiar place when he returned to Penn State’s University Park campus to accept one of 14 Alumni Fellow Awards, the highest honor given by the Penn State Alumni Association.
Researchers with RELAMPAGO-CACTI will track severe thunderstorms in South America's Pampas region.
"It’s not just the data that’s important," Fuqing Zhang, professor of meteorology and director of ADAPT said. "It’s how we design very sophisticated numerical mathematical algorithms to ingest that satellite data into the model. This is really our expertise and our pride. Our team is the first to be able to effectively take in this high resolution satellite data and prove it can be useful in real-case scenarios."
For John Harlim, professor of mathematics and meteorology at Penn State and an Institute for CyberScience (ICS) co-hire, it is similar to reviewing his last decade of research.
