Thesis topic : |
Analysis and interpretation of cloud microphysical data collected during the NASA African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analyses (NAMMA 2006) will be undertaken. Studies using cloud-resolving models to determine effects of Saharan dust on cloud microphysics and ultimately how both affect tropical cyclogenesis will also be conducted. |
