Marta Moreno Ibanez

Visiting Fellow

About Marta

Marta has a background in both social and natural sciences. Her current field of expertise is atmospheric sciences, and she is interested in the polar atmosphere. Her research has focused on polar lows, which are small and short-lived intense maritime cyclones that develop at high latitudes during the cold season. She has used atmospheric models to simulate polar lows and analyze their characteristics and development mechanisms.

Specialties

Atmospheric sciences, polar atmosphere, modeling and simulations.

Current Research

Marta is currently conducting simulations with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model with the aim to analyze the impact of horizontal resolution on the representation of polar lows. The results of this project will shed light on the resolution needed to correctly represent the characteristics of polar lows (e.g., size, intensity).
