Rudradutt Thaker, research assistant with Nelson Institute’s Center for Climatic Research (CCR) and the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, has been awarded a fellowship through the National Center for Atmospheric Research’s (NCAR) Graduate Visitor Program. In collaboration with CCR Scientist, Steve Vavrus, Thaker will work with four NCAR colleagues during summer 2022 on a National Science Foundation-funded project to study the interaction among Arctic cyclones, sea ice, and atmospheric rivers.
Thaker’s research will primarily focus on the atmospheric river aspect of the project. It will be the foundation of his master’s thesis and a presentation at the American Meteorological Society (AMS) Polar Meteorology and Oceanography Conference held in August in Madison, Wis.
