Meet the Soil, Environmental and Atmospheric Sciences Faculty

Patrick S. Market, Ph.D.

• Phone: 573-882-1496
• E-mail: MarketP@missouri.edu
• Address: 302 Anheuser-Busch Natural Resources Building

Education

• B.S. 1994, Millersville Univ. of Penn., Earth Science (Meteorology)
• M.S.(R) 1996, St. Louis University, Meteorology
• Ph.D. 1999, St. Louis University, Meteorology

Research Summary

• Areas of interest are in synoptic and mesoscale dynamics. In particular, the morphology and evolution of extratropical cyclones, jet streak-frontal interactions, heavy rainfall and snowfall forecasting and precipitation efficiency are primary research areas. Related interests include aviation meteorology and severe local storms. Those areas of study wherein a significant impact may be made on the operational weather forecasting process are of greatest interest.
