David H. Bromwich
David H. Bromwich is a member of the Byrd Polar Research Center and a professor at the Department of Geography, Ohio State University. His work has involved the evaluation and diagnosis of polar weather and climate variability. He received his PhD in meteorology from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. In 1979 he joined Ohio State's Byrd Polar Research Center as a research scientist. His research has focused on the variability of precipitation over Antarctica, Greenland, and the Arctic Ocean, thus contributing to the understanding of climate and potential sea level changes. He has made contributions to defining aspects of U.S. science policy. Having helped identify the need to improve numerical weather prediction (NWP) for the Antarctic, Bromwich has been influential in the development and evaluation of the Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS). In April 2001 AMPS was one of four weather models used to predict a window of opportunity for the emergency medical evacuation ...

Byrd Polar Research Center
The Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center (BPCRC) is a polar, alpine, and climate research center at Ohio State University founded in 1960. History and research The Byrd Polar Research Center (BPRC) at Ohio State University was established in 1960 as the Institute for Polar Studies. BPRC is the oldest research center at Ohio State University. The name was changed to the Byrd Polar Research Center in 1987 after the polar explorer and aviator Richard E. Byrd when Ohio State purchased the Byrd papers from the Byrd family in 1985. BPRC conducts interdisciplinary research at the nexus of Earth Sciences and Engineering. BPRC is known for its ice core paleoclimatology research collecting ice core records from Earth's highest and most remote ice fields and modeling polar climate variability. Studies at BPRC include paleoclimatology, remote sensing, polar meteorology, glacier dynamics, satellite hydrology, paleoceanography, geochemistry, environmental geochemistry, and climate change ...
