About
Nathan Hosannah is a leading researcher in atmospheric science, with a focus on the complex interactions between aerosols, land cover, and precipitation in coastal and tropical urban environments. His work addresses a critical gap in understanding how urbanization and aerosol particle size distributions jointly influence rainfall formation. In his highly cited 2014 study, Hosannah used a cloud-resolving mesoscale model to disentangle the dynamic effects of urban land use from the microphysical role of aerosols, demonstrating that both factors are essential yet partially independent drivers of coastal precipitation. He also played a key role in the Convection, Aerosol, and Synoptic-Effects in the Tropics (CAST) Experiment, a major field campaign in Puerto Rico that advanced understanding of multiscale convective processes in the Caribbean. With over 25 citations across his most influential works, Hosannah’s research has direct implications for water resource management, urban planning, and climate adaptation in vulnerable coastal regions. His work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in boundary-layer meteorology, aerosol-cloud interactions, and the hydrometeorology of tropical islands.
