Prospective Students

  Graduate students who study in the Forecasting Lab will gain experience in observational data analysis, numerical modeling, and theoretical techniques. Many of our research projects involve application of theoretical or numerical techniques in the context of weather analysis and forecasting. Several of our students are currently involved with realtime forecasting activities. Interaction with the NWS office (located two floors up from the lab) is encouraged, as many of our students aspire to employment in the NWS. Computers are heavily utilized in much of our work, and strong programming, scripting, and web-development skills are a plus. Incoming students need not have extensive computer skills, although it is our expectation that students will learn a great deal during the course of their education. If you are a motivated and enthusiastic student with an interest in applied meteorological analysis and weather forecasting, please don't hesistate to contact us.
