Olivier Pauluis

Olivier Pauluis is a Professor of Mathematics and Atmosphere/Ocean Science at New York University, Department of Mathematics. His research focuses on climate and the general circulation of the atmosphere, including moist convection, tropical meteorology, and numerical modeling. His work explores the interactions between atmospheric circulation and the hydrological cycle, aiming to understand the structure and dynamics of the global atmospheric circulation and its response to climate change. Pauluis investigates how convection influences atmospheric flows and the role of the hydrological cycle in atmospheric dynamics. His research contributes to understanding key atmospheric phenomena such as the InterTropical Convergence Zone, subtropical semi-arid regions, and midlatitude stormtracks.

Olivier Pauluis is a scholar in atmospheric sciences, climate science, and applied mathematics. His research focuses on understanding atmospheric dynamics, particularly in radiative–convective equilibrium, moist processes, and the role of entropy in atmospheric systems. He investigates large-scale dynamics of precipitation fronts, convective motions, and the thermodynamic consistency of atmospheric approximations. His work also explores the impact of dust storms, monsoon variability, and cloud self-aggregation in moist convection. Pauluis employs mathematical frameworks to analyze atmospheric circulation, latent heat transport, and the effects of horizontal resolution on climate simulations. His research contributes to improving climate models and understanding the interactions between radiation, convection, and atmospheric circulation.
