Dr. Babb’s research interests are focused on the retrieval of cloud microphysical properties using ground-based remote sensing instruments. Currently, techniques are being tested to retrieve the cloud droplet distributions from Doppler spectra collected with a 94-GHz radar. The aim of this research is to develop a better understanding of cloud structure and interactions through improved observation and analysis techniques.

Art Person, M.S.
E-mail: person@meteo.psu.edu

Mr. Person specializes in the application of computer technology to the solving of meteorological problems. Most of his work has involved real-time collection, analysis, and display of weather information using the University Corporation of Atmospheric Research (UCAR) Unidata software packages as well as locally developed software.  He is responsible for the technical aspects of promoting and maintaining the core computing facilities within the Department including Unix, Linux, and NT systems.
