Working with students who provided coding expertise as well as original scientific insights (including Chaing Chen, Piotr J. Flatau, Michael D. Moran, Jerome Schmidt, Craig J. Tremback, Gregory Tripoli) he developed one of the first comprehensive mesoscale weather forecast models in the U.S. – the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS).
Under the guidance of students with coding expertise and groundbreaking scientific ideas (including Chaing Chen, Piotr J. Flatau, Michael D. Moran, Jerome Schmidt, Craig J. Tremback, Gregory Tripoli), he designed one of the first all-encompassing mesoscale weather forecasting systems in the U.S. – the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS).
