Sandra Yuter

Sandra Yuter is a Professor in the Department of Marine, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at North Carolina State University. Her research focuses on geospatial analytics and remote sensing to study weather and climate dynamics, particularly in shallow marine clouds and winter storm systems. She leads the Environment Analytics Research Group, which develops large-scale meteorological datasets for AI training and climate modeling applications.

Her work includes projects like NASA's IMPACTS campaign analyzing winter storm structures, Office of Naval Research studies on marine boundary layers, and collaborations with the University of Nevada-Reno on climate adaptation for Indigenous communities. Key datasets include Northeast US winter storm radar mosaics (1996-2023) and pressure sensor networks for gravity wave research.

Publications (2023-2025) emphasize radar-based analysis of snowfall patterns, pressure wave identification, and microscale updraft dynamics. Her group's tools include weather visualization platforms and educational modules for storm structure analysis. Grants span federal agencies (NASA, NSF) and industry (Delta Air Lines) totaling over $20M in active funding.
