Seasonal & Sub-Seasonal Tropical Cyclone Forecasts

Forecasting

Colorado State University has issued forecasts of Atlantic basin hurricane activity since 1984. Following the pioneering work of Prof. William Gray, our group continues the long CSU tradition in forecasting with continually improving techniques for predicting tropical cyclone activity powered by new research.


Tropical Weather and Climate Research

Research

We conduct cutting-edge research to advance knowledge and prediction of the weather and climate system. Our research group is focused on improved understanding and prediction of tropical weather, including hurricanes and typhoons, extreme rainfall, and other high impact weather.

Angelie Nieves-Jimenez successfully defended her research for a Master of Science in Atmospheric Science degree

Angelie Nieves-Jimenez defends her research with the title, “Extreme Rainfall Mechanisms in Hurricane Fiona (2022)”.

Angelie’s research elucidated the complex physical processes that led to the extreme flooding in Puerto Rico from Hurricane Fiona. Angelie has been an active member of the Bell research group while at CSU. Angelie worked as a SOARS protege as an undergradauate and since then was awarded an NSF Graduate Fellowship. She also flew into Hurricane Franklin for a reconnaissance mission with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
