This month’s Meet the SG blog post features PCAPS SG member, Paola Rodriguez Imazio, who is a researcher at the National Weather Service in Argentina. Paola is a physicist and her research is centred on turbulent mixing and dynamics in the Antarctic atmosphere. Paola brings knowledge about Antarctic atmospheric dynamics and related research activities in the Antarctic Peninsula to PCAPS. She is also the lead of one of WWRP - PCAPS’ endorsed projects: the Turbulence in Supercool Clouds in Antarctica (T-SCAN) project.

The forthcoming T-SCAN project, funded by the National Weather Service of Argentina, the Argentine Antarctic Institute, and the Institute of Polar Science within Italy’s National Research Council, will consist of a field campaign that will combine balloon-borne measurements and super liquid water content (SLWC) probes with remote observations from ground based instruments to study cloud dynamics and their relation with turbulence, in the adverse region of the Antarctic Peninsula, during the austral summer of 2025.
