Heavy precipitation events can have important impacts on communities throughout the year. Intense cold-season snowstorms and warm-season extreme flooding events, for example, regularly result in high social and economic losses. Heavy precipitation events in the Great Lakes region are caused by both large-scale weather systems (such as cyclones) and local storms induced by the lakes themselves (such as lake-effect snows). Long-term variations in these causes, including possible variations due to climate change, can result in large changes in the occurrence of heavy precipitation. This webinar will provide information about:

David Kristovich


David Kristovich is Head of the Center for Atmospheric Sciences in the Illinois State Water Survey (part of the Prairie Research Institute), an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Dept. of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Illinois, and Editor of the Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology. Much of his research focuses on how the atmospheric boundary layer and mesoscale circulations (storm-scale up to the size of the lakes) respond to the dramatically-varied surface in the Great Lakes region.
