Join us on Tuesday, October 29, 2024, from 11 AM to 12 PM at DeBartolo Hall 320 for an insightful seminar led by Professor Francina Dominguez from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign’s Department of Climate Meteorology & Atmospheric Sciences.
Professor Dominguez will discuss the impact of dry land surfaces on atmospheric circulation and moisture transport, focusing on the role of low-level jets (LLJs) in North and South America. LLJs are crucial for precipitation in key agricultural regions, and her research highlights how soil moisture conditions weeks in advance influence these atmospheric processes. Understanding these dynamics could significantly enhance hydroclimate predictions, especially for major agricultural areas.
This event is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in climate science, hydrology, or agricultural impacts related to atmospheric changes.
