NorthWest Research Associates

Dave joined NWRA as a part-time employee on 1 August to begin writing proposals through us. He has retired from University of Oklahoma and will move to Boulder.

Dave’s science leadership career spans 30 years and has taken him from NCAR Directorship to United Nations Diplomat to University of Oklahoma Director of School of Meteorology.

His PhD is from UW Atmospheric Sciences; his recent research includes the structure and predictability of extreme convective rainfall events, and his collaborative research involves utilizing convective-permitting models and AI to understand and predict forecast failures in global models.

Near future research plans are the study of mesoscale phenomena, such as the nocturnal low-level jet, atmospheric bores, and orographic flows.

Please welcome Dave!

Dr Guillaumin is our first J-Visa Visitor for 2024!

He will collaborate with Cim & Jeffrey on improving statistical maps of sea-surface heights from satellite altimetry using a fast FFT-based method, developed by Arthur, for estimating covariance parameters in Gaussian Process Regression (aka optimal interpolation).

Please welcome Arthur!
