Simona Bordoni (born 1972) is an Italian professor of atmospheric physics who leads a research group at the University of Trento since 2019. She studies atmospheric dynamics, with a special emphasis on understanding the coupling between larger-scale circulations and the hydrological cycle, in particular in tropical monsoon systems.
Career
[edit | edit source]Bordoni received her M.Sc in Atmospheric Sciences from UCLA in 2003, and her PhD in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences from UCLA in 2007. She was then an assistant professor (2009-2017) and subsequently a full professor of environmental science and engineering (2017-2019) at the California Institute of Technology.
Bordoni and Tapio Schneider have a highly cited paper on the onset of the Asian monsoon that used an idealised climate model to show that the monsoon is a rapid transition between two circulation regions.[1] Simone has also worked with Salvatore Pascale to study the weakening of the North American monsoon and its consequences for regional water resources.[2] Her analysis of ocean winds over the Gulf of California and northeast Pacific Ocean identified that the onset of the summer season is accompanied by a seasonal reversal of the wind flow along the Gulf.[3]
Areas of Interest
