Hello and welcome to my web page. I joined the NCSU faculty
in August of 1999, after a 3-year stint as a professor at SUNY
College at Brockport. My original hometown is Seattle, Washington.
I teach courses in synoptic meteorology and forecasting (MEA 443),
advanced weather analysis (MEA 717), and applied numerical
weather prediction (MEA 793), as well as
an introductory course for meteorology majors (MEA 213/214).
Some of my recent research projects include extending climatologies of
cold-air damming, numerical model representation of precipitation processes,
improvement of model representation of convection, evaluation of
real-time mesoscale forecast models, and extended-range
weather forecasting. My research group currently consists
of seven graduate students as of Summer/Fall, 2010; my research laboratory
is officially known as the Meteorological Analysis and Prediction Laboratory,
and has been dubbed the "forecasting lab" for short.
