Meteorologist and Climate Data Analyst
About Katherine Jones
In 2019, Katherine Jones led the real-time recalibration of NOAA’s Global Forecast System during Hurricane Dorian’s unprecedented stall over the Bahamas, integrating satellite-derived soil moisture anomalies and urban heat island data into short-term ensemble forecasts, a first for operational tropical cyclone modeling. Her work exposed how legacy models underestimated rainfall-driven flash flood risk in coastal megacities by up to 47%, prompting the NWS to adopt her hybrid downscaling framework in 2022. She doesn’t treat climate and weather as separate domains but as coupled feedback loops, tracking how Arctic sea-ice loss alters mid-latitude jet stream persistence, then translating that into actionable thresholds for utility grid operators. Her forecasts include probabilistic 'resilience windows', not just when rain will fall, but when infrastructure can absorb it without cascading failure. She keeps a live dashboard of regional evapotranspiration deficits overlaid with municipal water rationing policies, because she knows drought isn’t measured in millimeters alone.
