Anthony C. Didlake Jr.

Affiliate Researcher
Titles and Affiliations
Associate Professor, Meteorology and Atmospheric Science

Anthony Didlake's research interests span topics in tropical, radar, and mesoscale meteorology. His primary research is on using radars (land-based, airborne, spaceborne) and numerical models to understand the dynamics of tropical cyclones. This research explores tropical cyclone formation, changes in intensity and structure, and environmental interactions. Didlake's interests also include mesoscale precipitation processes and Doppler radar retrieval techniques.
