Andrea Lopez Lang
Atmospheric science professor studying synoptic to large-scale dynamics of extreme weather on timescales of days to a season @ UW-Madison
- En route to join the NASA NURTURE mission, a large-scale field campaign happening now. We’re coordinating research flights through atmospheric phenomena that contribute in the development of high-impact extreme weather, including major winter storms and cold air outbreaks. espo.nasa.gov/nurture

- Reposted by Andrea Lopez LangThanks in part to a polar vortex disruption, December is likely to feature waves of unusually cold weather across the Central and Eastern US + other parts of the midlatitudes, experts say. Details on the next Arctic blast: www.cnn.com/2025/12/03/w...
- It’s always great to chat about the stratosphere. The last major sudden stratospheric warming event to occur in November was in 1968! We might do it again this year. We’ve had a few minor events in since then (e.g., 1996, 2000, 2009, 2016) and they hint at an active wintery December!
- An unusually early sudden stratospheric warming event is likely to send the polar vortex on the move. Questions exist re: how this will affect US weather, but odds for colder, snowier weather are ticking up esp. in Central/Eastern US www.cnn.com/2025/11/19/w...
- From the top of the Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Space Sciences building @uwmadison.bsky.social you can get a sense of how great the aurora was last night. This is the west view (not north!) youtu.be/V10uZNIuSCU Thanks @uwmad-aos.bsky.social & @pth1.bsky.social for sharing the video!

- 📢 The 2025 @ametsoc.org Washington Forum & Summer Community Meeting on weather, water, & climate enterprise policy & community is ~2 weeks away📢 Keynotes: Marcia McNutt (@nasonline.org President), Craig McLean (Former NOAA Asst. Administrator) & a Congressional Rep. www.ametsoc.org/ams/meetings...
- One of the motivations for NOAA’s (a Department of Commerce agency) creation of this list was to quantify the economic importance of weather and climate information for the US. It is widely used to support further investments in weather and climate operations and science at the federal level. 🧐

- The plan “…eliminates NOAA's Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) Office and its 10 research laboratories and 16 affiliated Cooperative Institutes…one only needs to see what NOAA research has provided to the U.S. taxpayer and imagine where we would be without…” www.ametsoc.org/ams/about-am...
- The statement includes key actions you can take now. The consequences of these haphazard actions would be devastating!

- The forecast, data, model development, science, communication coordination and all the work that occurs because of NOAA’s activities not only saves lives but the work of NOAA also impacts nearly every sector of the economy. Life, business, & economic decisions can be made because NOAA exists.

- I was part of the 2018 cohort! It was an amazing learning opportunity, great networking, and really friendship building, experience. It also provided a great new perspective, for me at the time, on the wide ranging careers in the weather, water, and climate space. You should apply! #cake
- As we get ready for a cold week, it’s as good a time as any to say that the polar jet stream and the polar vortex are two different phenomena and that they sometimes, but not every time, interact to give us cold air in the central US. ❄️🥶🌬️ www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-...
- At the #AMS2025 student conference? Need to craft an elevator pitch? A skill you’ll need in any job. Stop by the Elevator Speeches Workshop at 2:00 today in room 206. My flight issues means there will be a special speaker in my place. It should be a fun workshop!
- If you’re at #AMS2025 consider this town hall! The requirements for a federal government “meteorologist” (the 1340 series) are from the 1990s. Many undergraduate programs use these guidelines in curriculum planning. Modernizing the requirements would close the gap with a modernize curriculum.
