Dr. Mecikalski received his Ph.D. in Atmospheric Science from the University of Wisconsin--Madison (UW) in August 1999. His B.S. and M.S. degrees in Atmospheric Science, with an emphasis in Mathematics, Computational Methods and Botany, from the University of Wisconsin-- Milwaukee, were completed in May 1988 and December 1991 respectively. Major areas of interest include dynamics of scale interaction within convectively driven weather systems, tropical meteorology, numerical modeling, boundary layer processes, regional energy budget estimations, and assessing the atmospheric boundary layer and convection using remote sensing technologies.
