Clouds and Cloud Physics
Cloud physics is the study of the physical processes that lead to the formation, growth and precipitation of clouds.

Jerry Y. Harrington
Use sophisticated numerical models and participate in field experiments designed to unravel the reasons behind why clouds behave they way they do in nature. Join my group and become an essential part of a team that develops and uses innovative cloud modeling techniques. Some of our field work will take us to remote places in the arctic wilderness where we shall investigate the structure and dynamics of arctic clouds. More information.
Johannes Verlinde
This group is for cloud lovers. We've looked at clouds from all sides now, from up and down, and inside out. If you are interested in hands-on observational work (working with our millimeter wave cloud radar, or in situ observations) relating to clouds, or detailed modeling of clouds, give me a call. Our primary focus is on layered clouds, but if you look at my publication list you will see that pretty much anything white goes.

What really goes on inside those spectacular clouds we see in the sky everyday? In the laboratory you can measure, first-hand, the growth and evaporation of aerosol particles, cloud droplets and ice crystals, all in an environment where YOU have the controls -- a wonderful way to study the physics and chemistry of clouds.
