Ian N Williams

I am a broadly trained atmospheric scientist with expertise in weather and climate, spanning scales from turbulence and boundary-layer processes to convective storms, mesoscale meteorology, and the global circulation. An overall objective of my research is to develop a mechanistic, process-level understanding to improve weather and climate prediction. My work focuses on interactions among Earth system components, including the role of the land surface and atmospheric boundary layer in convective storms and precipitation processes. I use a combination of modeling and observational approaches, including Earth system models, cloud-resolving models, and radar and lidar remote sensing.
