Thomas is a Research Physical Scientist and Federal Team Lead for the S2S and Extreme Weather Team in the Analysis and Understanding Branch at the NOAA/OAR National Severe Storms Laboratory. He has broad research interests in multi-scale dynamic meteorology with expertise ranging from planetary to storm scales, and with particular emphasis on phenomenological and process studies of severe convective storms, extreme rainstorms, and cyclones. His work uses a combination of observations and numerical models to advance understanding and update conceptual models with the overarching goal to contribute to improvements in the forecasting of these phenomena.
