CW3E Welcomes Dr. Wen-Shu Lin

September 26, 2025

Wen-Shu Lin joined CW3E in October 2025 as a postdoctoral scholar. She earned a B.S. in Atmospheric Science at National Taiwan University (2019) and a Ph.D. in Oceanography at University of California San Diego (2025). She joined CW3E as a Ph.D. student in 2019, co-advised by Dr. Joel Norris and Dr. Marty Ralph. Her Ph.D. research focused on the characteristics, precipitation, and subseasonal predictability of the atmospheric rivers (ARs) over the western North America, with a particular emphasis on the flavors of ARs. She investigated the physical mechanisms leading to the extreme weather events, as well as the regional climate on subseasonal timescale.

Wen-Shu’s postdoctoral research will focus on the interaction between shortwave troughs and atmospheric rivers, as well as their impacts on the forecasts of landfalling atmospheric rivers along the U.S. West Coast.
