Welcome! I am the faculty advisor for the Convective Storms research group, a part of The Mesoscale Nexus in Marine, Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences at NC State University (links above). At NCSU, each spring I teach Mesoscale Weather Analysis and Forecasting. In the fall I teach graduate courses, including Mesoscale Modeling ('06, '07), Dynamics of Mesoscale Precipitation Systems ('07), and Atmospheric Convection ('06, '08). In the past, I have also taught undergraduate courses such as Dynamic Meteorology I and II. I currently serve the atmospheric sciences community as an associate editor for Weather and Forecasting and as a member of the American Meteorological Society's Committee on Mesoscale Processes. I am also involved with the VORTEX2 field project (Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes, 2009-2010), for which I am the mobile upsonde coordinator. I am always looking for potential graduate students who are interested in the dynamics of storms! For more on what my group studies, and opportunities for support, please visit the pages for the Convective Storms Group and our Project Summaries. Are you a teacher or pre-college student who is interested in meteorology and surfed your way here? You might investigate the web-based modules that we've created as a part of the Meteorological Education and Secondary-school Outreach (MESO) program. These modules represent the creativity and effort of our undergraduate students and of Raleigh-area high school teachers. Current advisees and students who are considering the meteorology major/minor at NCSU will find information at Dr. Parker's advising home base. Professional sketch:
