Research Summary
Areas of interest are in synoptic and mesoscale dynamics. Related interests include winter weather, heavy rainfall, flash flooding, and severe local storms. Those areas of study wherein a significant impact may be made on the operational weather forecasting process are of greatest interest.
The morphology and evolution of extratropical cyclones, jet streak-frontal interactions, heavy rainfall and snowfall forecasting, and precipitation efficiency, are primary research areas.
