Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristina Kalb is an atmospheric scientist with over 16 years of research experience and a track record of translating that science into operational tools and consulting insights. Based at NCAR in Boulder, she blends deep expertise in statistics, model verification, and aviation meteorology with strong software skills (Python, C++, MATLAB, R) to build real‑time model evaluation systems and verification workflows. Her work spans running CESM, developing parameterizations for electrified clouds, and applying machine learning and object-based methods to forecast convective initiation and evaluate transoceanic thunderstorm risk for aviation. She regularly supports multi-agency collaborations, teaches users to deploy verification systems like METplus, and presents findings at conferences to bridge science and operations. Raised in a family of engineers, she brings a practical engineering mindset to research problems, often turning complex model diagnostics into actionable guidance for energy, aviation, and weather prediction users.
