Ángel Adames Corraliza, AOS professor and Ned P. Smith Distinguished Chair of Climatology, has been awarded the Clarence Leroy Meisinger Award by the American Meteorological Society (AMS).
This early-career award is given to an individual in recognition of research achievement that concerns the observation, theory, and modeling of atmospheric motions on all scales.
Adames Corraliza’s research has advanced understanding of the role of moisture in tropical weather and climate phenomena, bringing us closer to a comprehensive dynamical theory of the tropical atmosphere. In recognizing these contributions, AMS notes his “innovative and impactful contributions to the development of moisture mode theory that has advanced fundamental understanding of tropical dynamics.”
AMS awards and honors presentations will formally occur at the 107th AMS Annual Meeting in Denver Colorado, January 2027. Congratulations and well deserved, Ángel!
