Tim Garrett
Assistant Professor
821 WBB Phone: (801) 581-5768 Fax: (801) 585-3681
|
Research Interests
My group focuses on using airborne observations to understand how small-scale cloud processes are important to climate. Current topics include the effects of pollution on the radiative properties of clouds, and the interactions between dynamics, radiation, and microphysics within tropical cirrus.
