Brief Bio


Anthony DeAngelis has been working with NASA's Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) since March 2018. Much of his work entails applying the GMAO's various model and analysis products to research questions related to weather dynamics over North America and across the globe. His research interests encompass atmospheric dynamics, the hydrological cycle, extreme events, and prediction on weather to seasonal time scales. Current research topics include the U.S. Great Plains low-level jet, the physical mechanisms underlying extreme weather anomalies in the Northern Hemisphere, and the subseasonal-to-seasonal prediction of extreme events in global dynamical models. His work also includes evaluating GMAO products with the goal of informing modeling and data assimilation efforts within the lab.
