About
Dr. Jane P. Mulcahy is a leading figure in aerosol and dust forecasting, whose work has significantly advanced the operational prediction of atmospheric particulates. Her research centers on the development and evaluation of global multi-model aerosol ensembles, with a particular focus on mineral dust transport. Dr. Mulcahy’s most impactful contribution is her leadership in establishing the International Cooperative for Aerosol Prediction Multi-Model Ensemble (ICAP-MME), a foundational tool for operational aerosol forecasting. Her seminal 2015 paper on this topic has garnered 132 citations, cementing its role as a key reference for the community. She further demonstrated her expertise by leading a major model intercomparison of Saharan dust outbreaks affecting Europe, a study cited 50 times. This work, conducted under the World Meteorological Organisation’s Sand and Dust Storm Warning Advisory and Assessment System, directly improved the reliability of dust forecasts for public health and aviation. By creating a robust consensus framework from diverse global models, Dr. Mulcahy has provided an essential resource for researchers and operational centers alike, enabling more accurate and actionable predictions of aerosol impacts on climate, weather, and society.
