Since there are a few atmospheric science folks here (who I'm sure collectively have done a ton of research into programs): Which do you think are the top 10 or so programs (roughly) for climate science/atmospheric & oceanic science? Perhaps mention their strengths (modeling, aerosols, oceans circulation, paleoclimatology, ice dynamics, etc.)? Weaknesses? Size (# students/profs)? Funding?
I saw one applicant, but are there any other applicants to Princeton AOS here? Any Columbia EES folks?
