• Analysis of observed winds over Delaware Bay and surrounding areas
• Modeling of sea breeze circulation in Delaware Bay
• Investigation of land-atmosphere interactions using regional scale atmospheric model
• Development of a stochastic cloud-radiation parameterization
• Cluster analysis of cloud regimes in the Tropics
• Investigation of radiative transfer through mixed-phase clouds
• Use of regional scale models for development of cloud field statistics

• Neil Barton, is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Geography.  He began his studies in September 2006.  Neil's research focuses on the interaction between the NAO and cloud radiative forcing.
• Mike Foster is completing his Ph.D. through the Department of Environmental Sciences at Rutgers.   Mike's thesis focuses on developing a stochastic cloud-radiation parameterization using statistical cloud properties derived from long time-series observations.  He is planning to complete his degree in 2008.
