The summit of Mount Washington is renowned for its meteorological extremes. This leaves our researchers striving to gain insight into the mechanisms that drive these extremes. Join us this month to hear more about our research at Mount Washington Observatory, and our summer intern research projects, which include analyses of extreme precipitation events on Mount Washington, and the atmospheric factors that may be driving them. We’ll also delve into summer thunderstorm trends in the White Mountains, as well as an investigation into the predictors of New England’s world-renowned fall foliage.
