Abstract
Florida summer precipitation patterns are in part governed by the dominance of different Seabreeze regimes. In this study, we are comparing 60 years of data against itself to see if there has been a significant trend in the tendencies of these regimes. Our goal is to understand if there has been a change, what might be causing them, and if there are better ways we can define synoptic scale atmospheric conditions to better understand and predict precipitation patterns in the Southeast US.
Did this research project receive funding support (Spark, SURF, Research Abroad, Student Internal Grants, Collaborative, Climbing, or Ignite Grants) from the Office of Undergraduate Research?
