Effective Field Theory
Honours projects: Developing innovative techniques which serve to guide and interpret research at international experimental facilities.
Cloud Microphysics
Honours project: Development of balloon-borne optical instruments to investigate super-cooled liquid water in the atmosphere, and its effect on weather and climate models.
Transient Weather Events
Honours project: Integration of data from multiple instruments to determine the origins of recurring and transient weather events in the Adelaide area.
Radar Rainfall Studies
Honours projects: Scanning weather radars use empirical relationships to calculate rainfall rates from the measured returned power. Depending on student’s interest various projects using a combinations of systems is possible. These could include sensor fusion, radar deployment, comparison techniques, validation with Bureau of Meteorology’s computational models, etc.
