Doctoral advisor Isaac Held [1]

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

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

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]
