Hello visitor! I am Sreenath Paleri, a Post Doctoral Research Associate with the Cooperative Institute for Severe and High-Impact Weather Research and Operations and Noaa Air Resources Laboratory, Atmospheric Turbulence and Diffusion Division based out of the David Skaggs Research Center in Boulder, Colorado. I am interested in measuring and modeling the atmospheric boundary layer to better understand surface-atmospheric exchanges over heterogeneous ecosystems. My current work focuses on spatial variability of tower measured eddy covariance fluxes atmospheric boundary layer characteristics in Colorado’s East River watershed and model data comparisons for the same with emphasis on better model representations in NOAA’s operational High Resolution Rapid Refresh model.

For my PhD I worked in Prof. Ankur Desai’s Ecometeorology Lab at the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, University of Wisconsin - Madison. For my doctoral thesis I used field measurements collected as part of the CHEESEHEAD19 field experiment and large eddy simulations of the field experiment days to study the role of low frequency, secondary circulations in surface-atmospheric transport. Please feel free to have a look at my current and past work and let me know if you have any questions or would like to discuss any of the ideas further!
