Research Interests

Julia Simonson is a CIRES Research Scientist working within the Earth Prediction Advancement Division of NOAA’s Global Systems Laboratory (GSL).  Her research focuses on boundary layer diurnal evolution and land-atmosphere interactions, and the representation of these processes within numerical weather prediction models.

Current Research

  • Exploring the 3D effects of solar eclipses on the structure and evolution of the boundary layer using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model.

  • Assessing the representation of boundary layer evolution and land-atmosphere interactions within model physics parameterizations using the Common Community Physics Package Single Column model (CCPP SCM).
