Professor of Meteorology

Dr. Fuelberg's research is in the areas of synoptic and mesometeorology. Current NASA research projects examine the long-range transport of pollutants from Asia, Mexico, and Alaskan wildfires using data from past and upcoming NASA airborne field projects (INTEX A&B). Prof. Fuelberg also has close ties with the National Weather Service, studying ways to improve thunderstorm and lightning forecasts in the southeastern U.S.  Improved forecasts of Florida lightning also are being sponsored by Florida Power & Light Corp. Finally, he is preparing a high resolution (4 x 4 km, hourly) historical precipitation database (1996-current) for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection that will be used in precipitation and hydrologic studies.
