Olivier Pauluis is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at New York University, specializing in atmospheric climate sciences. His research focuses on understanding the current state of atmospheric changes and their implications for future climate. He investigates broad issues, particularly the interactions between atmospheric circulation and the hydrological cycle. Key questions addressed in his work include the structure and variability of global atmospheric circulation, as well as the complex dynamics influenced by the InterTropical Convergence Zone and subtropical semi-arid regions. Professor Pauluis explores how thermal forcing and internal atmospheric and ocean dynamics contribute to these phenomena. His research emphasizes the continuous generation of work by the atmosphere to compensate for frictional dissipation of kinetic energy and how this behavior interacts with the hydrological cycle, affecting the atmosphere's ability to generate kinetic energy. He also examines the role of convection in atmospheric flows and its disproportionate impacts on weather phenomena.
