Tyler Bell

Biography

Tyler earned his B.S. in Meteorology from the University of Oklahoma in 2016. As an undergrad, he studied the usefulness of weather radar in trying to estimate populations of Brazilian free-tailed bats emerging from their summer roosts in Texas. Additionally, he worked on developing a Python package to compute velocity azimuth displays (VADs) from various types of radar and profiling systems from the Plains Elevated Convection at Night (PECAN) project. Tyler earned his M.S. in Meteorology from the Univeristy of Oklahoma in 2018. His thesis included the use of observations taken from the OU/NSSL Collaborative Lower Atmospheric Mobile Profiling System (CLAMPS) to study complex flow over terrain. Tyler is now working on his Ph.D. using CLAMPS observations alongside those collected via unmanned aerial systems (UAS).
