Why The Tropics Have A Weather Forecasting Problem
In this engaging discussion, atmospheric scientist Ángel F. Adames-Corraliza, a MacArthur Fellow, shares his insights on the unique weather patterns in the tropics. He reveals how humidity, rather than temperature, drives tropical variability, and highlights the historical reliance on mid-latitude models that fail in these regions. Ángel reflects on his personal connection to Hurricane Maria and his mission to improve forecasting accuracy for tropical communities. He also explains the significance of the Madden-Julian Oscillation in global weather dynamics.
