Member of the Graduate Faculty

Research Interests:

Meso- and synoptic-scale dynamics, climate dynamics.

Teaching Interests:

Dr. Clark investigates how mesoscale atmospheric waves are excited and subsequently develop, with particular emphasis on their roles in cyclone evolution, squall line evolution, and boundary layer turbulence.
