Charles Powell

Charles Powell is a Research Fellow and Bye-Fellow at Emmanuel College, University of Cambridge. He serves as a post-doctoral research associate at the Institute for Computing in Climate Science and the Atmosphere & Ocean Dynamics group within DAMTP. His research focuses on atmospheric fluid dynamics, particularly convection's role in stratospheric dynamics (e.g., QBO modulation) and tropical tropopause layer processes. He has contributed to studies on convective penetration, internal waves, and tracer transport in stratified fluids. Powell's work involves numerical simulations and collaborations on climate models like MPAS. His publications span fluid dynamics, meteorology, and radio meteorology, with recent focus on climate-related fluid mechanics. He actively contributes to open-source climate modeling frameworks and maintains a personal research webpage at cwp.io.
