Current Projects
Algorithm development for determining freezing levels in precipitation
and for detecting hail with polarimetric radar measurements.
Examination of methods to improve the quantification of winter
precipitation with polarimetric radar.
Study to improve the understanding of the microphysical processes
within storms and their parameterization in numerical forecast models.
Professional Interests
Meteorological applications of polarimetric radar with emphasis
on the quantitative estimation of precipitation, weather hazard
detection, and promoting the understanding precipitation processes.
