Current Research

  • Observations of tropical and middle latitude clouds and their associated precipitation features; the organization of clouds on scales ranging from the very small to synoptic, and the forcings that drive this organization; observing clouds and precipitation with millimeter wavelength radar/lidar systems, including the spaceborne CloudSat and CALIPSO platforms.

  • Evaluation and improvement of numerical forecast model representations of clouds and precipitation; development of a radar forward model software package to simulate radar reflectivity profiles at microwave frequencies.

  • Improving our understanding of global precipitation processes and distribution, particularly light rainfall; development of the CloudSat precipitation retrieval (the 2C-PRECIP-COLUMN product).
