Biography UNR/DRI  Interesting place  More meteorological people  Broader perspective

Advisor Dr. Michael Kaplan  Over 40 years experience in most areas of meteorology  Rutgers University Meteorology B.A.1967  Rutgers University Meteorology M.S.1968  State University of New York, AlbanyAtmospheric SciencesPh.D.1972  More than 40 publications  Held positions in Public, Private, and Military sector.  Over 40 mentored students

Monsoon Research Topic  Mid-latitude and tropical interactions with the North American Monsoon  National Science Foundation Climate Program

Monsoon Research History:  Johnson, et. al. 2006: Multistage Variability of the Flow during the North American Monsoon Experiment J. Climate, 20, Moisture surge relates to tropical disturbances Extra-tropical and tropical interactions near the Gulf of Mexico Upstream interactions leading to moisture surges in the Southwest

Monsoon Research Importance  Initiation sequences of individual moisture surge events in the southwest during the monsoon season  Mid-latitude interaction process/Rossby Wave Breaking events  What roll do mid-latitude processes, over the Gulf of Mexico, play in the surge sequences? Notably Rossby Wave Breaking and Trough Thinning Processes
