Postdoc Fellow · COSMIC · UCAR Community Programs · hchunlin@ucar.edu

I am a Postdoc Fellow at the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate (COSMIC) Program in the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) Community Programs (UCP). I received a PhD in atmospheric science from the State University of New York at Albany in 2023. My research interests include mesoscale weather, numerical weather prediction, and data assimilation.
