Research Meteorologist Phone: Email: |
Research interests include
understanding the atmospheric processes that result in lightning outbreaks without significant rainfall; use of meteorological models to predict the risk of dry lightning occurrence and to predict fire danger indexes; implementing and evaluating emission, consumption, and dispersion models to predict the impacts of smoke from wildland fire.

Research interests include using the BlueSky Framework to simulate the transport and dispersion of smoke from wildland fire, wildland fire use, and prescribed fires. Evaluate BlueSky and its ability to simulate fine particulate matter (≥ 2.5 m m) concentrations and other chemical species found in smoke. |
