<div>The Nesbitt Research Group has several fully-funded MS or PhD
openings available in the area of clouds, precipitation, mesoscale
meteorology, and remote sensing, beginning in <span class="" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT4570_com_zimbra_date">January 2016</span>. The application deadline is <b>October 15</b>.</div>
<h3>The projects include:</h3>
<ul><li>A NASA-funded project to investigate the interaction between surface
winds surrounding oceanic precipitation systems as retrieved from ocean
scatterometer winds, state of the art reanalyses, and current
generation satellite precipitation estimates to study the life cycle of
oceanic precipitation. This work is in collaboration with Dr. Timothy
Lang at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center.</li><li>A NASA-funded project to use multi-frequency radar and in situ data
collected in NASA Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Ground
Validation field campaigns to improve satellite precipitation
retrievals. This research is in collaboration with Illinois professor
Greg McFarquhar.</li><li>A Department of Energy-funded observational and modeling project to
investigate the characteristics of convectively-generated cold pools and
their dynamical interaction with convective systems. This research is
to be conducted in collaboration with Illinois professors Jeff Trapp and
Sonia-Lasher Trapp.</li></ul>
<p class=" "><strong><a href="http://www.atmos.illinois.edu" title="" target="_self" class="">The Department of Atmospheric Sciences</a></strong> at
the University of Illinois is a leader in physical meteorology and
high-impact weather and climate studies and the faculty are developing a
state of the art mobile precipitation-aerosol observatory. The
Illinois campus is home to the largest supercomputer on any university
campus, and is the most internationally-diverse public university campus
in the US.</p>
