I am a PhD student at the
Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the University at Albany.
My PhD studies involve identifying the evolution and characteristics of
synoptic-scale environments associated with large-amplitude inertia-gravity
waves (IGWs). I am working with Lance Bosart and Daniel Keyser. Our initial research is to
identify the characteristic vertical structure associated with IGW life cycles. This work was presented at both the 7th Conference on Mesoscale
Processes, Sept. 1996, Reading, United Kingdom (joint AMS - RMS conference)
and the 15th Conference on Weather Analysis and Forecasting, Aug. 1996. The
title of the work is Large-Amplitude Inertia-Gravity Wave Environments:
Vertical Structure and Evolution. You may view the preprint

Our more recent effort has concentrated on the full three-dimensional
environment and its multiscale evolution. This work has been presented at
both the 10th Cyclone Workshop in Val Morin, Quebec, Canada and at the 16th
Conference on Weather Analysis and Forecasting, Phoenix, AZ, Jan. 1998.
The preprint will be available online soon.
