Overview: Understanding the relationship between aerosols and the fuel that govern deep convective storm events can significantly improve meteorologists’ and scientific researchers’ capacity to predict and monitor these severe weather events. For this project, I am analyzing shallow, deep convective and stratiform events over Central Kalimantan using GPM DPR data and comparing it to the amount of atmospheric aerosols using AOD retrievals from ground based measurements provided by AERONET. Mentors: Aaron Funk, Courtney Schumacher
