• Remote sensing and in-situ observation of clouds
• Atmospheric convection
• Climate modeling

Professional Interests

Dr. Wilcox's research addresses the interactions among aerosols, clouds, and precipitation towards a goal of improved understanding of precipitation and cloud variability at regional scales. This work relies on satellite and in-situ observations to quantitatively evaluate climate model parameterizations that contribute to sizable biases in simulations of present climate, as well as considerable uncertainty in climate change predictions.
