EFD Seminar Series: Frontal Effects on the Rapid Formation of a Deep Layer of Marine Fog and Cloud in the NW Atlantic

Location: Cushing Hall of Engineering 303
Dr. Koračin has conducted extensive research and teaching in atmospheric sciences at institutions such as the Desert Research Institute in Nevada, the University of Split in Croatia, and as a visiting professor at the University of Notre Dame. His expertise spans observational analyses, high-resolution mesoscale meteorological and dispersion models, fluid mechanics, and global and regional climate modeling, with a primary focus on air-sea interaction, coastal atmospheric dynamics, and marine fog formation. As a principal investigator on numerous U.S. and international projects, his work addresses fog, coastal and ocean dynamics, air pollution, complex terrain flows, radiation processes, renewable energy, and climate processes. His research on a July 2019 fog event over Sable Island, Nova Scotia, revealed a novel mechanism of fog formation driven by rapid trough penetration, cloud band precipitation, and wind convergence, offering new insights into marine boundary layer dynamics.
