An Introduction to Synoptic-Dynamic Meteorology

Dr. Gabriel J. Williams, Jr. is an associate professor of atmospheric physics at The Citadel: Military College of South Carolina. He received his Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences from Colorado State University, a M.S. in Physics from the University of Texas - Rio Grande Valley (formerly known as University of Texas - Brownsville), and B.S. in Mathematics and Physics from Morehouse College.

Dr. Williams's research specialty is in geophysical fluid dynamics where his research focuses on the dynamics of rotating convection systems and geophysical vortices. As an atmospheric physicist, he examines these planetary phenomena using tools that are traditional to classical physics (such as thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and fluid mechanics), and his research has broad applications in atmospheric science and planetary sciences.
