Fuqing Zhang, distinguished professor of meteorology in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences at Penn State, died Friday, July 19.

Using a new approach developed at Penn State’s Center for Advanced Data Assimilation and Predictability Techniques, researchers were better able to predict models for forecasting Hurricane Harvey.

Our atmosphere behaves like a fluid, changing its flow and direction when it runs into an obstacle.

“This was an extremely terrible scenario for a landfalling hurricane,” said Anthony Didlake Jr., an assistant professor of meteorology at Penn State.

Michael Mann, a professor of atmospheric science at Penn State University, tells Inverse increased analysis is only the beginning.

Meteorology students relied on Penn State resources to get company off the ground.

Pennsylvania’s ecosystem has already been permanently altered due to climate change.

Equilibrium climate sensitivity may be underestimated in individual climate models, according to a team of climate scientists.

For the first time, meteorologists have observed persistent drizzle under conditions where snow would be expected.

Every minute counts when it comes to predicting severe weather.

Snowfall trends in Washington, and other East Coast cities, are leading scientists to this conclusion: Global warming, may paradoxically be contributing to an uptick in big East Coast snowstorms.
