Education
- B.S. 1994, Millersville Univ. of Penn., Earth Science (Meteorology)
- M.S.(R) 1996, St. Louis University, Meteorology
- Ph.D. 1999, St. Louis University, Meteorology
Research Summary
- Areas of interest are in synoptic and mesoscale dynamics. In particular, the morphology and evolution of extratropical cyclones, jet streak-frontal interactions, heavy rainfall and snowfall forecasting and precipitation efficiency are primary research areas. Related interests include aviation meteorology 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.
