Biographical:  I have been interested in meteorology and other sciences since I was very young.   I currently spend the months of May & June every year observing severe weather in the plains.  I moved to Norman, Oklahoma to attend the University of Oklahoma in pursuit of an undergraduate degree in meteorology.  I have an interest in atmospheric instrumentation and remote sensing, both on their construction and applications.  I'm also interested in using the many tools here at OU to compile various forms of data into online maps or images.
 

 

Recommended Books:  There are several books that professors in the department recommend.  I suggest everyone in meteorology to purchase them as well.  Last updated on September 18, 2004.
