A technique developed by Penn State scientists could improve forecasts, such as predicting where the most powerful winds will occur during weather events like this thunderstorm in Nebraska.
Jose D. Fuentes, professor of atmospheric science at Penn State, received two honors at the American Geophysical Union annual meeting in San Francisco, CA in December 2023.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) recently honored Penn State's weather data center — now housed next to the Walker Building, which is home to the Department of Meteorology and Atmospheric Science — as a 100-year weather/climate monitoring site.
MEMS was founded in 2019 to promote diversity within the College of Earth and Mineral Science by Bryttani Wooten, then an undergraduate student in meteorology and atmospheric science.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — David Stensrud, professor of meteorology at Penn State, has been voted president-elect of the American Meteorological Society (AMS). He will be inducted to the post on Sunday, Jan. 28, during the 104th AMS Annual Meeting in Baltimore, Maryland.
Stensrud will serve a one-year term as president-elect and in 2025, he will assume the presidency of the society, which was founded in 1919 and has a membership of nearly 12,000 weather, water and climate professionals. AMS is the nation’s premier scientific and professional organization promoting and disseminating information about the atmospheric, oceanic and hydrologic sciences.
"I am very proud of our community for the amazing progress we have made in understanding and predicting the earth system, positively impacting the lives of people across the world,” said Stensrud. “And society’s need for weather, water and climate information will only continue to grow as we prepare for and respond to hazardous events and anthropogenic climate change. AMS plays a key role in these efforts. I hope to strengthen AMS's continuing work to build a more diverse, inclusive and equitable culture that supports its members as we interact with the wider world. We are stronger and more resilient in community.”
