| Welcome to the homepage of the research group of Susan C. van den Heever. Dr. van den Heever is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University. Our research interests are primarily in mesoscale processes, storm dynamics and cloud physics, which we investigate through the use of numerical modeling. This research has been or is currently sponsored by the NSF, NASA and CG/AR. Professor van den Heever teaches classes in mesoscale and synoptic meteorology, cloud dynamics and mesoscale modeling, and has participated in the CRYSTAL-FACE and BAMEX field campaigns. | Mesoscale Modeling | Mesoscale Meteorology | |||||||||||
