Roberto Rondanelli

I am interested in the behavior of precipitation and clouds in the atmosphere and how their mutual interaction affects climate at different scales. During my PhD studies I worked with Prof. Richard Lindzen in quantifying the effect and consequences of the relation between sea surface temperature and cloud and precipitation properties.

I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Geophysics, University of Chile.
