Biography:

Dr. Julio T. Bacmeister received his Ph.D. in geophysical fluid dynamics from Princeton University in 1987, where his research concentrated on numerical simulation of stratified flow around obstacles. From 1987 until 1992 he worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the Atmospheric Chemistry and Dynamics Branch at GSFC. He joined the Middle Atmospheric Chemistry and Dynamics Branch at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C. in 1992, where he led the development of a two-dimensional chemical transport model, and established a research effort in atmospheric gravity wave dynamics. In 1998, Dr. Bacmeister joined the NASA Seasonal-to-Interannual Prediction Project as a visiting scientist, where he has led efforts in atmospheric model development. His current interests include cloud and convection parameterization as well as parameterization of orographic effects for tropospheric climate models. He has published over 25 refereed papers in the fields of gravity wave dynamics and parameterization, and atmospheric transport.
