I am a Professor of Synoptic Meteorology at the University of
Manchester in the United Kingdom. I am a US citizen, formerly at
the Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale
Meteorological Studies at the University of
Oklahoma and the NOAA National Severe
Storms Laboratory , the Finnish
Meteorological Institute , and
the University of
Helsinki .
My research interests are numerous, but include:
synoptic and mesoscale meteorological phenomena such as extratropical
cyclones, fronts, windstorms, banded precipitation, and instabilities
synoptic climatologies
interaction between meteorological
research and operational forecasting
snowstorms
numerical weather prediction and air chemistry forecasting
convective storms
tornadoes
cloud and precipitation processes
the peer-review process and scientific communication
interaction between the solid earth and the atmosphere, including Earth history
paleoclimate
how weather affects people with chronic pain
My scientific achievements and career highlights include:
revised the 90-year old model of occluded fronts (Schultz and Vaughan 2011 )

National Weather Service forecaster for the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City
proposed that sting jets are associated with the frontolytical
circulation at the end of the bent-back front (Schultz and Sienkiewicz 2013 )
popularized the use of frontogenesis as a tool for synoptic and mesoscale
meteorology
