Adriana Bailey is an atmospheric scientist who studies the processes that control humidity, cloudiness, and precipitation. Her research probes questions on scales as small as clouds and as big as the globe and asks how variations in climate affect water availability and hydrological connections between places. She is particularly interested in questions of moisture transport and length scale, atmospheric mixing and its influence on cloudiness, and precipitation efficiency.

A former scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research’s aviation facility, Professor Bailey often uses an airplane for her laboratory. She uses laser-based measurements of water’s isotopic composition to track how moisture moves through the atmosphere and exchanges with the ocean and land.
