A series of studies was conducted at several arctic locations to determine the relationship between cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and ice nuclei (IN) and the pollutant aerosol.

"Surface wind data from 20 Prototype Regional Observing and Forecasting Service (PROFS) surface mesonetwork stations have been analyzed for the month of July 1981 to determine characteristic flow patterns over northeast Colorado. Streamline analyses of the surface flow over this region have been prepared on an hourly basis."

This study presents a numerical investigation of air pollutant transport from the Los Angeles Basin to Grand Canyon National Park (GCNP). The Colorado State University Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (CSU-RAMS) is used to develop fields of different atmospheric variables.

This study investigates the genesis of tropical cyclones through a combination of the compositing approach and the case study approach.

An analytical study using a simplified form of the divergent barotropic vorticity equation was performed. The results show the importance of the change in the Coriolis parameter across the cyclone in determining cyclone motion.
