Meet the Individuals that make SOARS…
The group is made up of five graduate research assistants and two undergraduate students. Our research focuses on two main topics: aviation weather and aerosol interactions with severe weather. While these topics made be split disproportionally among the group, they are equally as important, and we work together as a team to apply these topics to numerical weather prediction and public safety.
