Sukyoung Lee is a professor at Pennsylvania State University known for her research on circulation in Earth's atmosphere and the Southern Ocean. In 2021 Lee was elected a fellow of the American Geophysical Union.
Education and career
[edit]Lee earned her Ph.D. in 1991 from Princeton University where she worked on baroclinic waves.[2] As of 2021, she is a professor at Pennsylvania State University.[3]
Research
[edit]Lee is known for her research on Earth's atmosphere,[4] ocean circulation in the Southern Ocean,[5] planetary atmospheres,[6] and climate.[7][8] In 2013, her research revealed that recent changes in the ozone layer causes geographic shifts in the location of the jet stream.[9][10]
