Atmospheric Science

Interested in severe weather? North Carolina is the perfect natural laboratory, as more weather disasters affect our state than any other (http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/reports/billionz.html) from ice storms to tornados and hurricanes. Interested in the interaction between the atmosphere and natural and urban landscapes? ECU has developed two state of the art weather stations to monitor energy, water, and carbon fluxes both in the heart of the city and at a remote field site. Here at ECU, research and instruction centers around land-coastal-atmospheric interactions. Projects involving instrumentation, modeling, and data analysis are available to students.

Affiliated faculty: Jennifer Arrigo, Scott Curtis, Hong-Bing Su, Rosana Nieto-Ferreira, and Tom Rickenbach
