Angela Rowe

Angela Rowe is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Her research focuses on understanding cloud and mesoscale processes influencing high-impact weather events, leveraging radar observations and numerical modeling. Key areas include tropical oceanic convection, orographic precipitation dynamics, and the role of environmental conditions in convective organization.

Her work integrates multi-wavelength radar data from field campaigns like NASA's CPEX-CV and S2noCliME to study systems ranging from frontal storms to mountain-influenced precipitation. Recent studies emphasize microphysical processes in hailstones, dust-convection interactions, and the impact of riming on precipitation fallout in winter storms.

Publications from 2024-2025 highlight advancements in analyzing tropical convection patterns, mesoscale convective system evolution, and the influence of low-level jets on convective environments in South America. Educational contributions include workshops on phased array radar technology and effective scientific writing.
