معرفی
Sebastian Hoch is an Adjunct Associate Professor in Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Utah. His research focuses on boundary layer processes in complex terrain, particularly examining radiation and surface energy balance effects on boundary layer evolution and terrain-driven flows.
- Education: PhD in Natural Sciences (Earth Science) from ETH Zurich (2006)
- Languages: German
His research integrates atmospheric sciences, climate change science, and geophysics, with specific emphasis on pollution monitoring, mountain meteorology, and fog dynamics. Recent publications analyze freezing fog microphysics, coastal fog formation mechanisms, and complex terrain wind energy potential using WRF-COAMPS modeling.
Grant-funded projects include:
- COLD FOG AMONGST COMPLEX TERRAIN (CFACT) 2021-2025
- RED BUTTE AIR EXCHANGE STUDY 2019-2020
- OWENS LAKE LIDAR STUDY 2018
- MODELING FOR FASMEE 2018-2021
- MATERHORN program 2011-2017
As educator, he has taught Experiential Learning II and Mountain Weather & Climate courses (2023-2024). His work combines extensive field measurements with high-resolution modeling to address atmospheric boundary layer dynamics in complex environments.
