Research Interests:
Dr. Oreste Reale is Co-I of a funded proposal on NAMMA, in which the main focus is the understanding of the African Monsoon and Atlantic tropical cyclogenetic processes within a global data assimilation and modeling framework
(the NASA GEOS-5). Dr. Reale was PI of a three-year MAP Proposal on Observing System Experiments (OSEs). The research performed under this grant was focused on the impact of different observing systems, particularly AIRS, on the GEOS-5. Previously, he performed research in the area of land-atmosphere interactions, on the impact of land properties over atmospheric dynamics and on the dynamics of mid-latitude floods.
Biography:
Dr. Oreste Reale received his Laurea in geophysical engineering from the University of Trieste, Italy, in 1990. From 1990 to 1992 Dr. Reale worked on applied geophysics at the University of Trieste. From 1992 to 1996 he was a graduate student at the University of Maryland, College Park, where he received his M.S. in meteorology in 1994, and his Ph.D. in meteorology in 1996. Upon completing his doctorate, from 1996 to 1999 Dr. Reale contributed to the development of a meteo-hydrological operational center (CMIRL, Genoa, Italy), was co-advisor on three theses on synoptic meteorology at the University of Trieste and worked as a visiting scientist at the International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Trieste. From 1999 to 2001 Dr. Reale moved to the Center for Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Studies, Institute for Global Environment and Society (COLA-IGES), Maryland, where he worked on the impact of land-surface evaporation variability and on the dynamics of Mediterranean floods. He joined GEST in July 2001 as an Associate Research Scientist, working on the synoptic and dynamic meteorology of extreme events, such as tropical cyclones, and on their sensitivity to model improvements and data types. In 2005 Dr. Reale became PI of 3-year funded NASA proposal on Observing System Simulation Experiments and in 2006 became co-I of a funded NASA proposal on the African Monsoon. |
