About

Mimi's current research focuses broadly on improving the understanding and modeling of hydrometeorological processes, for their improved prediction (weather time scales) and projection (climate time scales). In particular she studies processes that impact water resources (e.g., rain and snow distribution in the mountainous Western U.S.), extreme events (e.g., droughts and floods), and the representation of those processes in NOAA models.
