Congratulations to Kwesi on his first Ph.D. paper!

Congratulations to Kwesi Quagraine for the publication of his first Ph.D. paper in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres! This work, titled “Similarities in Meteorological Composites Among Different Atmospheric River Detection Tools During Landfall Over Western Coastal North America,” investigates the performance of various atmospheric river detection tools and their ability to capture key meteorological features during landfalling events. This work shows that on the US West Coast, AR detectors broadly agree that detected ARs are associated with extratropical cyclones.
