His main position is Director of Seasonal Forecasting at AER [Atmospheric and Environmental Research]. He currently works on the impacts of snow cover and sea ice variability on winter climate. He is also interested in accelerated Arctic warming and its influence on extreme mid-latitude weather and the application of novel statistical techniques to sub-seasonal to seasonal prediction. He also has an interest in decadal temperature trends and explaining those trends with large-scale climate models. Dr. Cohen received his Ph.D. from Columbia University and was also a post-doc at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. Follow Judah on Twitter. [see Polar Vortex – Arctic Oscillation]
