Hello! I am Cansu.

About Me
I recently got my Ph.D. in Meteorology from the Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Science (EOAS) at Florida State University (FSU). I was advised by Dr. Henry Fuelberg. My research focused on how different convective regimes transport boundary-layer chemicals to the upper troposphere/ lower stratosphere (UTLS) region within the updrafts of deep convective storms. I received an M.S. (2023) in Meteorology from FSU on the simulating vertical transport of chemicals within deep convection using a parameterized chemistry coupled atmospheric model (WRF-Chem) under the advisement of Professor Henry Fuelberg, and a B.S. in Meteorological Engineering from Istanbul Technical University (ITU) in 2021 under the advisement of Professor Yurdanur Unal. My B.S. thesis was on the climatological extreme precipitation analysis of Turkey using different gridded products (ERA5-Land/IMERG/NEWA-WRF) and comparison with observations.

I am originally from Turkey and enjoy painting, playing tennis, and cooking. Please contact me if you have any questions about the graduate program at Florida State, my research, life as a graduate student, being an international student at FSU, or anything else!

How to pronounce my name?
Turkish C = English J
Like ‘J’ in jazz.
You can think of it as ‘Jansu’, or ‘John+Sue’ : )

How does CO travel to stratosphere within a deep convective core?
Check out my latest publication (also see ‘Publications’ tab) to learn about this! Also see the animation below that shows mid-tropospheric air mixing into the updraft and diluting the CO mixing ratio within the updraft. A bonus is seeing how the simulated tropopause responds to strong updrafts!
