UMD’s MS in Atmospheric and Oceanic Science prepares students to investigate weather systems, ocean circulation, and climate variability. The program integrates remote sensing, data assimilation, and dynamic modeling. Research opportunities with NOAA and NASA facilities allow students to study hurricanes, El Niño, atmospheric chemistry, and sea-level rise. Graduates pursue forecasting, policy, and environmental research roles.
Numerical modeling of hurricane development under sea surface anomalies
Simulation of atmospheric circulation patterns driving polar vortex events
Ocean current modeling using satellite altimetry data
Impact of greenhouse gases on longwave radiation balance
Analysis of ENSO events and teleconnection patterns
Forecast verification techniques for mid-latitude storm systems
Study of stratospheric ozone trends using satellite observations
Modeling of aerosol transport and regional air quality impacts
Designing a coupled atmosphere-ocean model for coastal flood prediction
Analysis of extreme precipitation trends in a changing climate
Evaluation of tropical cyclone prediction models using reanalysis datasets
Development of an urban heat island monitoring system
Simulation of thermohaline circulation shifts under warming scenarios
Building a data assimilation framework for next-gen weather models
Predicting Arctic sea ice extent using machine learning algorithms
Study of ocean acidification dynamics and biological feedbacks
Assessment of monsoon variability and agricultural impacts
Evaluation of wind energy potential under future climate projections
Development of a real-time weather forecasting app with radar data
