Peter S. Ray
Professor of Meteorology. Physical Meteorology. Ph.D. Florida State
University, 1973. Past research has ranged from the theoretical
assessment of scattering of light by hydrometeors to the use of
Doppler radar data to deduce the co-evolving wind and water fields in
severe storms. Current research interests expand these to include
initialization and data assimilation problems in mesoscale forecast
models, the use of airborne Doppler radar, thunderstorm
electrification, microphysical development and evolution, retrieval of
microphysical and dynamical variables in storms, and dynamical cloud
modeling.
