Dr. Schumacher, along with several CSU graduate students and CIRA staff, will be providing forecasting support for the Colorado region of the Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry (DC3) field experiment. DC3 seeks to understand the impact of deep convective clouds on the microphysical and chemical characteristics of the upper troposphere. Our group at CSU and CIRA will be giving forecast briefings each morning of the experiment on the potential for convection in eastern Colorado.

Several members of the research group presented at the American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting in New Orleans. Graduate students Charles Yost and Sammy Lynch presented posters on their graduate research, Vanessa Vincente presented on her SOARS research from last summer, and undergraduate researcher Stephanie Stevenson presented a poster as well. (Click on the links above to download PDF files of the posters.) Russ Schumacher also gave a presentation, a link to the recording will be posted when it is available.

We have developed a website that includes some real-time weather data, monitoring of heavy precipitation, and a web-based archive of past extreme precipitation events. Please check them out and send along any comments or suggestions!

A new paper was published in Monthly Weather Review on the heavy rainfall and floods that occurred in the southern Plains in late June of 2007.

Three graduate students started in the research group at CSU--Charles Yost and Samantha Lynch, who transferred from the graduate program at Texas A&M, and Vanessa Vincente, a new M.S. student from Valparaiso University. Find out more about them here.

Dr. Schumacher and the research group began work in the Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University!
