Bio
John's interest in weather started in elementary school, and this fed his curiosity to collect weather observations in Wisconsin for ~10 years. chasing storms, modeling convective clouds, and understanding how to use satellite data provides the basis of his enthusiasm in a relatively wide variety of research he performs today at UAH.
Dr. Mecikalski received his Ph.D. in Atmospheric Science from the University of Wisconsin--Madison in August 1999. His major areas of interest include dynamics of scale interaction within convectively driven weather systems, tropical meteorology, data assimilation and numerical modeling, regional energy budget estimations, and assessing the atmospheric boundary layer and convection using remote sensing technologies. Presently his research is focused on convective storm scale 0-6 hour nowcasting using satellite data, with an emphasis on process-based research that combines satellite, radar and lightning observations. He also works to assimilate dual polarimetric data within cloud resolving models.
research interests
1. Satellite data assimilation for mesoscale and microphysical processes, of soil moisture, and for nowcasting. Forward model development of retrieval methods.
2. Numerical modeling of moist convection, parameterization development, and cumulus momentum transport.
3. Moist convective dynamics, tropical convection, factors influencing the initiation of deep moist convection. Remote sensing of convective weather systems. Theoretical studies of tropical weather systems.
4. Diagnosing micro- and mesoscale weather phenomena from remotely-sensed (hyperspectral) data sets for the purpose of nowcasting and evaluating hazardous weather for aviation interests.
5. Land surface energy and moisture fluxes. Developing remote sensing techniques for diagnosing such fluxes using satellite remote sensing.
6. Modeling interactions between the biosphere and atmosphere on time scales of the meso- and synoptic scale.
