Raleigh Jones

Associate Professor of Atmospheric Sciences & Creative Writer
Oklahoma University – School of Meteorology

Raleigh Jones is an Associate Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at Oklahoma University’s School of Meteorology, where she combines her passion for creative writing with groundbreaking research in atmospheric dynamics. His work focuses on complexity modeling of wind patterns—specifically, the interactions between tailwinds, headwinds, and crosswinds—and their impact on pollution dispersion and renewable energy systems.

Raleigh leads the Clean Energy & Atmospheric Modeling Group, which develops high-fidelity 3D air pollution-climate models, writes specialized differential equation solvers for fluid dynamics, and collaborates on innovative projects such as titanium-coated aerostat balloons for high-altitude atmospheric monitoring.

In addition to her academic work, Raleigh is an avid baker of Raspberry Pi-themed pastries and a contributor to open-source scientific software. Her creative writing often explores the intersection of technology, nature, and human experience, and her essays have been published in both scientific journals and literary magazines.
