Abstract: NOAA’s Climate Variability and Predictability (CVP) and the Modeling, Analysis, Predictions And Projections Program (MAPP) are co-hosting a webinar series on Climate Process Teams (CPTs). The series will highlight the recent results from the projects that were co-funded between NOAA’s CVP and MAPP programs and other Federal agencies including the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Department of Energy (DOE), and NASA. The goal of CPTs is to accelerate improvements in representing oceanic and atmospheric processes in climate models through interdisciplinary research. The fifth session will feature two presentations.

Bio(s): Dr. Emanuele Silvio Gentile is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Princeton University and NOAA/GFDL. His research interests include finding the link between sub-grid momentum, heat, and moisture turbulent processes in the boundary layer and their role in shaping extreme wind speeds and gusts associated with mesoscale systems, including midlatitude and tropical cyclones, as well as mesoscale convective systems. Dr. Gentile holds a PhD in Atmosphere, Ocean, and Climate from the University of Reading, United Kingdom.Dr. Joao Teixeira is the Co-Director of the Center for Climate Sciences at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). His research includes using a variety of models and observations to better understand the interactions between the Earth’s climate system and small-scale processes, such as turbulence, convection and clouds. Dr. Teixeira holds a PhD in Physics (Meteorology) from the University of Lisbon, Portugal.
