Ambrogio Volonté

Ambrogio Volonté is a Senior Research Fellow at NCAS / University of Reading. He is currently taking part in projects focusing on: 

- Dynamics and sea-ice interaction of Arctic summer cyclones (a project that included an aircraft field campaign); 

- Dynamical and climatological properties of sting-jet cyclones; 

- The role of diabatic processes and air-sea interaction in the dynamics of Mediterranean cyclones; 

- Mid-latitude controls on Indian monsoon onset and progression, with particular focus on kinematics and dynamics of the intrusion of mid-latitude dry air. 

His research interests go from mesoscale airflows and synoptic-scale extratropical cyclones up to the dynamics of larger systems such as monsoons, as he is interested in process-based and Lagrangian analysis of all sorts of weather features.
