Research Interests: Cloud processes, radar meteorology and remote sensing of clouds, with a focus on arctic and other stratiform clouds. 

Teaching Interests: Cloud physics, atmospheric thermodynamics, radar meteorology. 

Dr. Verlinde is an observational atmospheric scientist interested in understanding the physical processes in clouds. He uses surface based remote sensing tools and airborne platforms to observe clouds, relying mostly on mm-wave cloud radars as his observational tool. He is the Site Scientist for the Department of Energy's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program North Slope of Alaska site in Barrow, and works closely with several faculty in the department to come to a better understanding of arctic cloud processes and how those relate to the rapidly changing arctic environment.
