Chester F. Ropelewski has fifty years of experience in climate analysis, including weather forecasting, development of climate datasets and real-time monitoring systems, research in atmospheric turbulence, tropical boundary layers, hurricanes, the North American monsoon, sea ice, snow cover, climate variability, El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Quasi-Biennial Oscillation, hydrologic cycle, and droughts. He was awarded the Norbert Gerbier-Mumm Award from the World Meteorological Organization in 1990, and elected a Fellow of the American Meteorological Society in 2001. He is the author of over 100 research papers, book chapters and reports.
