The Environment Analytics group is looking to hire one or two undergraduate research assistants to work on research projects funded by the National Science Foundation, NASA, and the Office of Naval Research. Research topics include winter weather, marine low clouds, and weather model verification with observations. Projects involve the processing and analysis of several types of observational remote sensing data sets from ground-based, airborne, and satellite sensors as well as model output from global and regional models. Our group also uses long-running research observations from vertically-pointing radars and a Multi-Angle Snowflake Camera. Research will be supervised by Dr. Sandra Yuter.
